Easter Menu: Avocado & Pinto Bean Enchiladas + Apple Cherry Crisp

By Dreenaburton @dreenaburton
Have you planned your Easter menu yet?  If not, don't fret.  You see, this mama just realized Easter was approaching this weekend.
Yep, I learned when our middle daughter said earlier this week: "Sarah told me that the Easter Bunny comes in 6 days".
I replied: "oh. yes. that's right."...
But my mind was saying: "whaaat, eek!"
After my brief moment of panic, I got a few ideas together for our Easter weekend.  And though I haven't entirely planned my own menu, I thought I'd offer up some lesa-traditional recipes for your own Easter dinner (and possibly my own)!
Why not try my "Avocado & Pinto Bean Enchildas" from eat, drink & be vegan, as a main dish:

For sides, you could make a simple batch of brown rice or roasted potatoes (or sweet potatoes), along with a salad dressed with "Cumin-Cinnamon Vinaigrette" (also from ed&bv).
For dessert, something easy and light, such as my "Apple-Cherry Crisp" from The Everyday Vegan:

I recently made this crisp with an "Apple-Mango-Pear" adaptation, and it was wonderful:

Pair the crisp with a non-dairy vanilla ice cream, and you have a dessert fit to please your crew!
I have posted the recipes for the enchiladas and crisp for you to enjoy this Easter - or anytime.
So, tell me, have you planned your Easter dinner yet?
