spring holiday dishesKitchen Kneads Ogden, UT Kitchen Supply Store

This year, we’ve had so many spring holidays all in one month – Easter, Passover, Ramadan, and just spring in general! Whether you’re celebrating a special holiday or you just want to host a gathering with seasonal dishes, these delectable spring holiday dishes help you shake off the cold of winter and welcome spring’s new life and sun. We’ll tackle the holidays in alphabetical order and give you one dish for each, plus two that are perfect for the spring season in general.

You don’t need to celebrate a holiday to enjoy these dishes! They’re wonderful for everyone to try, regardless of what you do or do not celebrate the holidays they can be served during. Spring is associated with new life, so why not try something new, after all? From sweet, to savory, and back again, you’re sure to find something you enjoy with these delicious spring holiday dishes.

Kolachi Nut Rolls

This Eastern European sweet nut roll is a delicacy often enjoyed on holidays, such as Easter. Kolaches themselves are incredibly variable depending on where you are. For some people, a kolachi is any type of cake; for others, it’s like a fruit or cheese danish. The kolachi we’re talking about is a sweet nut roll that is often enjoyed during Christmas and Easter and other special occasions. 

Also called orechovnik, this spring holiday dish consists of a slightly sweet bread with a nutty filling. In order to make it, you’ll mix together a sweet enriched yeast dough and then spread the filling across it and roll it up in a log shape. You’ll need to allot time for the dough to rise before you put the filling on it. 

Once baked, you can brush it with oil, drizzle some icing on top, or sprinkle some powdered sugar before cutting it up and serving.

Matzo Ball Soup

There are many dishes people enjoy for seder, including matzo ball soup. Children and adults alike love to see this chicken soup with matzo balls among their Passover seder courses. Matzo ball soup is tasty and easy to make, though it causes some division: some people prefer light and fluffy matzo balls that float while others like the denser dumplings that sink in the broth. 

As such, recipes vary, according to personal preference. In general, though, you’ll start off by making your matzo balls. Refrigerating them and then cooking them prior to adding them to the soup ensures that they won’t fall apart. Then, you’ll make your chicken soup and add the matzo balls. You’ll want to simmer until the matzo balls are cooked all the way through before serving.

Stuffed Dates

spring holiday dishes

It’s traditional to break fast with dates. After not having had anything to eat or drink since before the sun rose, stuffed dates are quick and easy to make as it’s setting, so you don’t need to spend forever waiting for them to be ready. Stuffed dates are a delicious dish to serve for Iftar, and can be done in many different ways, both sweet and savory. 

Some ways that you can make this healthy treat are:

  • Almonds, dark chocolate, and coconut make your dates taste like a chocolate bar.
  • Stuffing your dates with peanut butter and covering them in chocolate is perfect for those who like the peanut butter chocolate combination.
  • Almonds and crème fraiche garnished with toasted almonds is the ultimate in quick and easy.

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

Asparagus is in season, making this a perfect spring holiday dish. Not to mention, it’s quick and easy, like most of these other spring holiday dishes. Asparagus is very healthy, and when you use olive oil to roast it, you’re using a healthy fat, too! This is a fantastic side dish, as it compliments many different main dishes, from pasta to chicken and more. 

Since this is roasted, you’ll cover your asparagus spears with your garlic and parmesan mixture and then stick them in the oven until the topping has turned that perfect golden brown. So yummy and flavorful, so easy, so quick, and pretty healthy!

Lemon Lavender Shortbread Cookies

These soft buttery cookies are ideal for spring luncheons, especially with the floral element the lavender provides. Combining edible flowers with melt-in-your-mouth lemon shortbread makes for a perfectly seasonal treat that people won’t be able to have just one of! Lemon and lavender compliment each other beautifully, and using powdered sugar in your recipe ensures that your cookies will have that enviable texture.

Kitchen Kneads has a wide variety of appliances and ingredients to help you make whatever spring holiday dishes you desire. Take a look through our catalog and contact us if you have any questions.

Our life has a new normal and we can do one of two things in these times. We can improve and grow and fill time with experiences that create memories for generations to come and stories of how we survived the pandemic or we can kill time and be unhappy that our favorite restaurants can’t accommodate the company party, etc.  I want to share with you on this post some ideas to spark your creativity, give you sources and ideas of where to start and how these charcuterie boards can be built for the whole family to enjoy. Charcuterie boards originally meant meats and cheeses and I will have to add pickles, olives and crackers. These boards have been taken that one step further and now they are holiday boards with everything imaginable for a fun get together. Consider it a buffet in a smaller square footage of space. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner and the social distancing guidelines that are all around us, let’s start with the planning and sources for this wonderful board that can be fun for the whole family. This year, plan on staying home and celebrating Valentine’s Day. Let the kids help design the board with their input of their favorite treats. I designed this board with my grandchildren in mind. 

Valentine's Charcuterie Board

The board I used was 11 x 18. This size worked fine, but I think I would like a larger board. I found ¾ inch thick pine board at Lowe’s, 24 inches wide and 6 feet long. I am going to buy this board and have it cut and the edges finished and oiled with food grade oil to have a larger surface area to work with. I think a 24 x 24 would be perfect for a small gathering. These boards are also called grazing platters so I think the remaining 4 feet of the board would be fantastic for a larger surface area and bigger foods. 

The next concept in designing your board is the season. Because of Valentine’s Day, I wanted reds, pinks, whites, and purples. I went to Kitchen Kneads and started there. I know my grandkids love candy and I wanted to just a few of their favorites since I didn’t want to load the board or them with sugar. I love the selection at Kitchen Kneads. I really like the hugs and kisses gummies and the cupid candy corns. Heart shaped chocolates are also a great quick chocolate. I picked up some pretzels and Ultra Milk Chocolate and dipped my pretzels and used some of the fantastic sprinkles I found at the store as well.

Valentine's Charcuterie Board

I then picked up some cookie cutters to cut the cheese into cute heart shapes and a tart pan to make the chocolate pudding pie tarts. I have included the recipe for delicious homemade chocolate pudding. All of the ingredients that I used for this were from my food storage that I have from Kitchen Kneads. While at the store I picked up some cute Valentine’s Day muffin liners to use with my brownie pops that I cooked in my cake pop pan. I have a favorite gadget that is a powdered sugar spoon that just beautifully sprinkles just the right amount of powdered sugar on my treats. In the pictures you will see the powdered sugar on the brownie pops and the chocolate pudding tarts.

I then gathered my favorite whole grain crackers, cheeses, and fruit and set to work. I did make a strawberry fruit dip that is also to use on the crackers topped with fresh fruit. I have included that recipe as well.

Valentine's Charcuterie Board

The next step is the creativity (and the most fun besides eating the treats) and designing how the board should be put together. I gathered some heart shaped doilies, a cheese knife, a bamboo knife for the dip and the cute hands tongs, hopefully for germ control, and set to work. I wanted to create directions and textures and spots for the candies. I wanted the foods to run together so hopefully the grandkids would eat from the whole board and not just the candies. All of the foods are little for little fingers. Here are some additional ideas for foods on boards for kiddos:

Animal crackers or fish crackers, peanut butter or ham and cheese sandwiches cut into cute shapes. Cherry tomatoes and cubes of cheese on toothpicks, tiny pickles, olives and cheese on toothpicks. As you can see, the ideas are endless. 

I look forward to making a charcuterie board whenever I have a small group of people over and for any season or holiday. Any season will be exciting to plan a board. Imagine one for St. Patrick’s Day, a spring brunch, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, or any day that kicks off summer! Wouldn’t a BBQ board be fun? If the event is in the evening and the board is large enough, candles can even be incorporated onto the board. A potluck board would be fun as well. Have all the guests bring items that are part of the theme of the evening and create an eclectic, yet coordinated board. Fun for everyone!

Valentine's Charcuterie Board

 

I did learn a few things in creating a board: make sure the items that you have on the edge of the board don’t roll if your board doesn’t have a lip or edge. Have small plates and napkins on hand so people will fill their plate and not stand at the board to eat. Have plenty of small tongs, toothpicks, and knives for cheese and spreads if touching the food by guests is a concern.

A themed board would also be fun… A taco board and use the mini tortilla bowl maker to hold guacamole and salsa. A nacho board would also be fun and make the whole board a huge nacho platter. Again, the possibilities are endless and pictures are fun to take of your board and the happy memories that it is creating. Take a picture of your board and share it with Kitchen Kneads by way of the blog or on Facebook. Again, make Kitchen Kneads your first stop in designing your charcuterie board this Valentine season or any season. These following recipes as well as anything you choose for your board can be designed for any eating and health plan. Boards can also be a combination of types of recipes to accommodate all guests

Homemade Chocolate Pudding

  • 2 cups milk of choice or canned coconut milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup Dutch cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup sugar, pure maple syrup, or honey (I used pure maple syrup)
  • 1 /2 cup milk of choice +3 tablespoons cornstarch (I used NON-GMO Cornstarch)
  • Optional: 3.5 oz chocolate chips or pure chocolate (I used a gourmet bittersweet chocolate)

Instructions:

  1. Heat the 2 cups milk of choice in a saucepan with the salt, cocoa powder, and sweetener.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch and ½ cup milk in a small bowl until dissolved.
  3. When the 2 cups milk are warm, add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir constantly for 2 minutes.  Lower the heat to a simmer for an additional minute, then turn off the heat. 
  4. Once the heat if off, stir in the vanilla and the chocolate pieces until the chocolate melts.
  5. Fill tart pans or graham cracker crust pans or pour into small serving containers and place in the fridge. Note that the pudding will get thicker as it cools.
  6. If using as a tart, when cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on the tart. If using as a pudding, use whipped cream. This will be the best chocolate pudding you will have ever tasted.

Strawberry Fruit Dip and Spread

  • 1 container whipped topping
  • 1 (6 oz.) container plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup pureed strawberries or fruit of choice. (Optional: can also sub 1 teaspoon of vanilla and sweeten with pure maple syrup)

Instructions:

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Perfect spread for crackers or to use as a fruit dip.

Dyeing eggs is a tradition for my family every year for Easter. I grew up using those fizzy tablets in the egg dyeing kits. While they work just fine, recently I’ve been wanting my eggs to be bright and vibrant. Not to mention I’ve wanted a larger selection of colors.

How to Dye Bright Easter Eggs

So, how should I go about accomplishing this? I did a little research and found that if I use Wilton food coloring gels (which we carry in our store), I can get any color I want and I can get my eggs to be as vibrant as I want. And it’s really very much the same as using those fizzy tablets.
