Easter Dinner

[Praying Colonel]

DW and I will be doing a small meal this year, but our usual menu would be ham, sweet potato casserole, peas, baked beans, hot rolls, a broccoli-cauliflower salad that's one of my wife's family's standbys and a dessert.

We’re having pulled chicken on Hawaiian rolls, BBQ sauce, coleslaw, baked beans, and homemade pumpkin pie.

Sending positive vibes for your dad's recovery! Your Thanksgiving plans sound lovely and heartwarming. Sometimes simplicity is just what's needed, especially during challenging times. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and enjoyable gathering, regardless of the circumstances.

We're going to my in-laws' for breakfast on Easter morning. I think it'll be normal breakfast fare (bacon, eggs, waffles maybe.) We're going to my parents' in the afternoon. I grew up with traditional easter dinner (ham, etc) but it was never a favorite and my niece has particular food preferences (she's not technically vegan, but no meat, no dairy, etc.) so instead of the traditional meal, we're doing a spaghetti dinner (choice of sauce, salad, bread, etc.)

I’m looking for a good make ahead quiche recipe that travels well. If anyone has any ideas, let me know! Am going to be watching my little grandson on Easter and want to make a picnic to bring over.

Going over to by BIL & SIL's Saturday, I think they are having turkey. I've offered to bring a dessert and/or side but I'm still waiting to hear if they need it or not. Sunday is just me & my husband, we will be having a rack of lamb and I'm not sure what side(s) yet.

Earlier today I googled "traditional Easter dessert" and most sites had a list of 20-65 Easter desserts. I wasn't interested in suggestions about what to make, I was more curious what is considered to be a traditional Easter dessert.

Is there one? I remember my mother making a bunny cake, but I hardly think that would be considered the traditional Easter dessert. Any thoughts?

Quiche travels readily. It’s true picnic food in France. What filling are you wanting?

Since there's so much candy around, there really isn't one.

I mean, the most traditional is more brunchy than desserty - the Hot Cross Bun.

The bunny cake is another.

For me, I always think pavlova or something with lemon and/or strawberry. You can combo the 3 with pavlova.

My mother in-law has ordered some kind of ham. I am sure there will be mac-and-cheese, cornbread casserole, and green beans. Should be good.

Was this the bunny from the Betty Crocker Index cards? OH MY I soooo want you to say yes.

 

[Leventerso]

That sounds like a really thoughtful plan, especially given the circumstances. Hoping for the best for your dad! The menu sounds delicious, and the ice cream cake is definitely a nice touch. Wishing you all a peaceful and comforting time together.

How cute is that! And . . . I hesitate . . . to say . . . it's not the one my mother made

She made the one where you bake cake in two round pans, use one circle for the head and then cut ears and bowtie out of the other.

I'm fine with anything that involves lots of frosting

I hope your dad is feeling better soon and that you and your family enjoy your Easter

Our Easter meal will be Ham, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato casserole, pineapple casserole, green bean casserole, roasted brussel sprouts, roasted carrots, corn and rolls.

Since I mentioned hot cross buns here, my daughter has decided she will attempt a dairy free, nut free (and knowing her, probably low sugar) version. We'll have it for breakfast in place of our normal turnovers, b/c those were not on sale...at all...so might as well try something new. And I'll have some raw honey around in case they aren't sweet enough.

I made a Bunny Butt Cake a few years ago. Same oval shape except for ears you use a Hostess coconut covered snack cake for its tail instead. It looks like the bunny is burrowing into the ground.

Oh hello dear friend!

I’m thinking something traditional ham, cheese and some type of vegetable. Maybe spinach? I need to get to googling some recipe ideas.

A bag of washed baby spinach from the salad area would be a nice amount to put in a 9 to 10” pie
