The signature Easter dishes — leg of lamb, glazed Easter ham, hot-cross buns, deviled eggs — recur with variation across Martha Stewart Living and The Martha Stewart Show.

Egg-decorating segments make a near-yearly appearance, from natural dyes (turmeric, red cabbage, beet) to the more elaborate Ukrainian pysanky technique. Pair these episodes with the spring-gardening episodes for a coherent April programming arc.
