Easter is a time to rejoice the coming of spring.
It's a time to allow senses to become refreshed with bright colors and fresh air after a long winter. It's no wonder that the perfect Easter basket is one stuffed with rich and exotic colors, bright and cheery reminders of the approaching secrets of spring. A typical Easter basket, stuffed with chocolate bunnies, marshmallow eggs, jelly beans and foil-wrapped chocolate eggs, can have more than 2000 calories and 100 grams of fat. With a little creativity, that same basket can be packed with just as much fun, but with half the calories and twice the nutritional power. The first key to a fun and healthy Easter is creativity.
