What do you say we have an old-fashioned recipe swap for Easter here in The Journal food section?

If you want to share a family recipe, and its history, we're all ears.

Don't just think ham or lamb. Vegetarian recipes are most welcome, too, as are side dishes you enjoy for dinner. If brunch is your specialty, that sounds great, too. Please don't forget desserts.  

There's one rule: Don't leave anything out. All those who submit need to be careful typing it in. 

Do your best to follow traditional recipe format, List all the ingredients in the order you use them and write out teaspoon and tablespoon so there is no confusion. Describe all the steps clearly, including temperature settings. That's so easy to forget, or maybe just for me.

I can only accept these by email, gciampa@providencejournal.com. We at The Journal are all still working remotely as our newsroom remains closed. 

Get them in as soon as you can and I can print them on March 31, if we have enough. 

Let's make this as fun as it was when did it for Thanksgiving. .
