TBP’s Friday Favorites: Healthy Easter & Passover Desserts
Who doesn’t love spring? The trees are budding, the grass is starting to turn green, days are warmer, and there’s more sunlight. Everyone is starting to think about summer, swimming pools, vacations, and yes, summer clothes.
With Eater and Passover marking the change in seasons, I thought I’d share some healthy holiday dessert recipes that you can eat (in moderation, of course!) without feeling guilty. You’ll also feel good about sharing these dishes with your friends and family.
As you browse the links you might notice that many of the recipes happen to be from our own TBP contributors. It wasn’t intentional – they just happened to be some of the best gluten-free Easter & Passover desserts out there. It goes to show that TBP has the most talented group of ladies around.

Dairy free for my twins – THANK YOU! The one thing I wish I could have is cheesecake and I love cashews and just got a Vitamix, so that is on the list to try!
