Thoughts of Easter baskets typically render images of sugared variations of treats that my kids will inhale quicker than any meal I have ever presented them. This year I am leaving the candy store empty handed. I am going for a sugar free Easter basket, and I am certain my kids will not mind one bit. Neither will my dentist.
Are you like me, and looking for something bigger than jelly beans, and sugary sweets? I am sharing my Easter basket picks for this year below.
