It's that time of year again, when the Easter bunny shakes out his tail, takes his basket out of storage, and sprinkles eggs around yards for all to search. Before we throw ourselves into all those sweet, pastel festivities, though, first thing's first: Easter brunch.

Whether you're hosting or attending a potluck meal, these three tasty Easter brunch ideas will fuel you up before dying those eggs and rummaging through all the kids' baskets for candy. Or if there are no kids at your celebrations, these Easter basket ideas for adults will get you just as amped up as a sugar high.
