EASTER DINNER

[crazyphil]

I have the joy of cooking Easter dinner for my family.
So far I have a big ham and some sweet potatoes.
Would like suggestions for sides and desert.
Thank you.

Around our house, it isn't Easter dinner unless asparagus is on the table. This vegetable delight is served frequently at our meals, but it's a must have at Easter dinner. Cooked, usually roasted, until just tender but not mushy.

That's a great ideal Dave. I like asparagus. I steam it. Like it a little
crisp.

Phil. you've got a good start on it. How about good mac&cheese, (Not one from a box mix), one green veggie/salad, yeast rolls, followed by a light final course?
Remember Iced Tea is always needed.

May you, yours, and all of our forum friends have a blessed Easter.

Add some sweet corn on the cob, potato salad or mashed potatoes, homemade biscuits or light rolls, cabbage slaw, blueberry or peach cobbler for desert. Makes me hungry to thing about it.

Have a blessed Easter,

Leon

well for dessert since spring is (kinda) here, a fruit pizza can go over well. A tasty treat for kids of all ages....

already warned about makeing / helping in the kitchen. but peeled/ cut carrots, on the not small size, boiled 5 min., drained/ butter and brown sugar melted slow in pot to finish still w/ firmness, kids love the carrots. my wife's french val./ cream cheese frosting w/ coconut sprinkled cake, strawberrys on the side, sister bringing pineapple upside down cake, i do green giant white shoepeg corn, like eating it off the cob. secret not to over heat the shoepeg. it is what makes special holidays a great family /friends getting together.

So - is anyone cooking the Easter Bunny?

Were going to my DILs mothers house for Easter. She loves to cook and put out meals. There will be including the cook 9 people there.(for the record she is a very good cook) When she cooks she always thinks and says aloud "I hope I have enough food!"

Normally she has enough food to feed 30 people well. We will have the traditional ham and a good roast beef as entries and about 8 different side dishes to complete the meal. Dessert you could gain 4 pounds on just this day alone. She tends to get very upset if she thinks you do not eat enough.

At the end of the day we normally take home at least 4 full meals to put in the refrigerator.

Thanks for all the help. I just got back from shopping. It looks like we
will have a nice big ham, baked yams with butter & cinnamon, steamed
asparagus, brioche dinner rolls, and for desert, carrot cake and French
vanilla ice cream.

Not here....

 

[shouldazagged]

Here it will likely be sausage and eggs, maybe biscuits, just me and the mutt. But my mother always fixed creamed pearl onions for Easter, and Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and Victor Borge's birthday, and...

Great with any entree, but especially with lamb.

I am making a beef brisket with a mashed potato bar as one of the side dishes. Butter, sour cream, cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions. It's popular with guests.
