Easter is one of those holidays that everyone really appreciates. It's that time of year when you've just endured a LONG Winter and Spring weather is on the horizon. It's also a holiday that allows you to catch up with family and spend quality time with loved ones. To reflect, unwind and really get a chance to appreciate who and what you have in your life. If you're not celebrating, you can still enjoy the stat holiday that comes with it and give yourself a chance to take a deep breath and spend some time doing what you can't usually fit into your hectic schedule.

If pastels aren't your thing, you certainly have to make an exception at Easter. These soft and chewy M & M cookies are major eye candy, but also serve as a lighter dessert and a good alternative to store bought cookies. Another bonus? You don't have to be an expect baker to make these little beauties. We will definitely be whipping up a batch of these for others to enjoy!
