Easter is quickly approaching and I have a fantastic brunch recipe for you to add to your day. Between attending church, Easter egg baskets, and visiting family, the day can get quite busy. This year, you don’t need to settle for pancakes and eggs. The McCormick kitchens has you covered with easy, tasty, and colorful meal ideas to brighten up your table.

When it gets busy around our house I love the simplicity of making a meal in one sheet pan. If you have not jumped on the one sheet pan bandwagon by now, it is time! This meal provides all of the essential hearty and delicious breakfast items made all in one sheet pan.

We all love meals with big, bold flavor. McCormick delivers once again with their quality spices in this meal bringing delicious southwest flavor. Chili powder, cumin, and paprika take the flavor in this meal to the next level. It seasons the potatoes, ham, peppers, black beans and corn to perfection.

Roasting vegetables is my favorite way to prepare them. They get that crispy edge and soft and tender center. When you add delicious spices to the mix it makes them even better! As soon as they are almost done roasting you crack the egg right into the pan! It cooks all together and makes a beautiful and bright presentation on your dinner table.
