• Little bunny foo foo will be officially hopping through this weekend! Swing by the Pennsylvania Dutch Farmer’s Market in Annapolis to fill those baskets with delicious goodies, like chocolate bunnies of all different flavors and sizes (yes, they even have solid chocolate bunnies!), Peeps on a stick, and the infamous freeze-dried candies. If you’re hosting or going to a party and don’t feel like baking, they have Spring-decorated cupcakes and my favorite, whoopie pies.

• On the hunt for a family-friendly breakfast spot? Look no further – Garry’s Grill in Severna Park has served its customers for over 33 years and is the perfect spot to take the family. Garry’s has an extensive, affordable kid’s breakfast menu, like Sophia’s Big Breakfast (1 egg, 1 pancake or French toast, hash browns, 1 bacon, 1 sausage, and a drink [milk, water, or soda]) for $5.99. For the adults, favorites include shrimp and grits, fried green tomato eggs benedict, and berry French toast (Cap’n Crunch coated French Toast fried crispy and served with a house-made mixed berry sauce). Don’t hesitate to order Garry’s Famous Spiced Hot Tea (also comes iced) – it is the most delicious cup of tea, full of flavor and love. Oh, and I forgot to mention…they have five Bloody Marys on the menu too!
  • P.S. Order the pumpkin muffins.
