6 Easter eats you can order online

In my house, Easter Sunday usually means a Honey Baked Ham and fresh biscuits. Coincidentally, most years my family ends up waiting in long lines to get ingredients at the last minute. And I’ll never forget the year when we had to return a ham that, well, didn’t seem to have been packed fresh (and that’s putting it lightly). But this year, there are so many amazing options for ordering high-quality, carefully curated dishes online to make this year’s celebration one to remember.

1. Hot cross buns

According to legend, the hot cross bun dates as far back as the 12th century when it was created in honor of Good Friday. Hundreds of years later, it remains a tradition for many to dig into this sweet pastry on Easter weekend.

These hot cross buns from The Gingered Peach, a New Jersey-based bakery, are packed with currants and a touch of orange zest, topped with classic sweet vanilla icing crosses. Each package includes twelve tightly packed buns, and it’s recommended you allow them to sit at room temperature for at least three hours before serving. Alternatively, microwave for 15 seconds to enjoy them warm.

2. Smoked ham

We’ve tried many products from Crowd Cow—including wagyu beef and sirloin steak—and have been consistently impressed with its high-quality meats. Crowd Cow’s smoked, bone-in heritage ham is sourced from Pederson’s Natural Farms, where all animals are part of the Certified Humane Raised and Handled program. Each ham weighs between six to eight pounds and comes spiral sliced, ready to serve.

The cookie kit comes with a dozen pre-made vanilla sugar cookies, piping bags full of pastel-colored buttercream icing, and festive sprinkles.
