Pierre Hermes' Lemon Cream piped onto egg-shaped cakes is at the top of my list, once again, this year.

The quintessential Carrot Cake has been requested, but I can't seem to get away from most citrus-y desserts.
I may have a date with Jenny Craig when all is said and done.

I've made these Easter Eggs for the last two years. A big hit with everyone who has tasted them.

The recipe is posted here: Homemade Chocolate Cream filled Easter Eggs.

Ham and Split Pea Soup from Epicurious : From Cooks Illustrated March 1999. this is a delicious soup but takes a little bit of time to make the broth but it's incredible. You can use a leftover ham bone if you get one of those big hams at the holidays (freeze the bone with a bit of meat) or a ham hock is okay too but can be salty. 1 piece (about 2.5 lbs) smoked bone in picnic 4 bay leaves 1 lb split peas rinsed and picked through 1 tsp dried thyme 2 tbsp olive oil 2 med onions, chopped med 2 med carrots, chopped med 2 med celery stalks, chopped med 1 tbsp butter (optional) 2 med garlic cloves, minced 3 small new potatoes scrubbed and med. diced ground black pepper balsamic vinegar Bring 3 quarts of water, ham, bay leaves to a boil, overd med high heat in large soup kettle. Reduce heat ot low and simmer until meat is tender and pulls away from the bone (2-2.5 hours). Remove ham meat and bone from broth; add split peas and thyme and simmer until peas are tender and dissolved (45 min - 1 hour). Meanwhile, when ham is cooled enough to handle, shred meat into bite sized pieces and set aside. Discard rind and bone. While ham is simmering, heat oil in large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add onions, carrots and celery; saute, stiring frequently until most of the liquid evaporates and veggies begin to brown; 5-6 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add butter, garlic, and sugar. Cook veggies, stirring frequently, until deeply browned; 30-35 min, set aside. Add sauteed veggies, potatoes, and shredded ham to soup; simmer until potatoes are tender and peas dissolve adn thicken soup to the consistency of light cream (about 20 min more). Season with black pepper. Ladle soup into bowls, sprinkle with red onion (optional)and pass vinegar (optional)

RECIPE: What Are You Cooking for Easter Dinner?
Q
Comments (12)
Sis, Dad and I just started discussing yesterday... My sister will be hosting, with an assist from DH and I (time to get my little red wagon so we can easily bring our goodies around the corner to Sis' house). -Hor d'oevures... Not sure what we'll be serving for hors d'oeuvres, but already on the menu is: Pizza rustica (I make anywhere from 10-12 depending upon who I feel like giving one to (you have to rate high on my list) -I am thinking of modifying an asparagus dish I saw that calls for wrapping stuff around blanched asparagus (flattened bread, prosciutto, etc) but have to give it more thought as I don't want to compromise the beautiful asparagus I am seeing) We typically have a platter of antipasto, which is really a must have, so perhaps it'll be just that and the pizza rusticas. -First course we were thinking of doing perhaps some fresh ravioli. I saw Giada do a chicken cheese ravioli with a lemon zest sauce, so perhaps we'll play with that, eliminating the chicken. I just got the pasta-roller attachment for my Kitchenaide, which will make prepping the ravioli a breeze. -Second course, perhaps a salad in Parmesan cups. We did this two years ago and it was fantastic. -For dinner, so far we know we are going to make a nice stuffed pork loin. Our local Italian store does a nice job of it, it comes out so moist. Perhaps some simple roasted chicken as a second choice for the kids and whomever doesn't want the pork. I'll make a nice merlot or cabernet-based gravy or perhaps defrost some pork gravy I've been saving and kick it up a bit with some wine and herbs. -Veggies: We agreed on a few veggies, one baked, one roasted, and perhaps a steamed veggie. Will be finalizing that within the next week. -Starch...I'm thinking something potato. Perhaps Ann's Perfect Roasted potatoes will be the way to go. I love, love, love them. (Did I say I love them). -Dessert is left to the experts. One of our guests is master of all things baked and we leave that to her. Dad will want to bring something, so perhaps he'll make a grain pie. That's it so far...not much detail, but it is an iterative process and should be finalized by the end of the week. Sue

LOOKING for: Easter Bird's Nest Recipe
Q
Comments (5)
Here's the one I used last year: BIRD'S NESTS CANDIES FOR EASTER 1 bag ReeseÂs peanut butter chips (10 oz.) 1 Tblsp. solid shortening (Crisco) 1 large can (5oz.) La Choy thin chow mein noodles 1 bag pastel colored M&M peanut candy Melt entire bag of chips and 1 tbsp. of shortening slowly in microwave or in double boiler on stovetop. If using microwave, heat full power in intervals of 30 seconds at a time and then less as chips begin to melt. You want the chips and shortening to be well blended and creamy and hot. DO NOT OVERCOOK!!! Immediately pour the can of chow mien noodles into the peanut butter mixture and toss lightly to coat noodles. Avoid crunching noodles. Using a spatula can help. Do this quickly, making sure the noodles are evenly coated. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and gently form into the shape of a nest, leaving a hollowed area in the center in which you immediately place three M&M peanut candies for the "birds eggs". Helps to have two people! Each batch makes approximately 14 nests.

Sol, that lemon cream looks amazing, and lemons are on sale for $1.49 for a 2 pound bag. Mohter is coming for dinner on Easter, though, and she's allergic to lemons, so that might have to be a treat for the office.

Yeah, that's it. I'll take it to the office, really, I will.....

New recipes? I'm making a raspberry chocolate cheesecake for dessert because mother does love raspberries and dark chocolate and cheesecake. Makayla wants pumpkin pie.

We're having prime rib and I'm still deciding on the potato, but we're also having macaroni and cheese, based on the Princess' request. It's her favorite food and she likes the "real" mac and cheese, made with all the pieces of cheese left in my cheese drawer. It has to have some Dubliner, though, and it has to be K-Frame's recipe.

Other than that, I'm still undecided.

Carla, I've been making these little cuties for a few years now. Very kid friendly. The ears are large marshmallows cut on the diagonal and dipped into pink sugar. For pink sugar just add a drop or 2 of some red food coloring to some regular sugar in a baggie and shake it up.
