What Will You Have For Your Easter Meal?

8 years ago

We have decided to have a cook out with the sides that usually go with it, baked beans, mac and cheese, maybe cheese potatoes and such. Whatever anyone wants to bring to it. There will be the deviled eggs and the 7 vegetable salad and who knows what else. Do you know what you will be having at your Easter meal?

Got two meals in mind, but haven't decided.

Ina Garten's Roasted Salmon Nicoise Platter

salmon

OR roast beef with dressing, horse radish sauce, green beans

I do know I'm making this for dessert

Strawberry cheesecake ice cream with fresh strawberries on the side and cookies

trawberry cheesecake ice cream

I am thinking ham with bone-in. Makes good left overs to share with son and DIL to take home, and the bone and scraps are great in pea soup. Thinking asparagus, au gratin potatoes, and the lime Jello mold with sour cream and crushed pineapple since it looks so Eastery. We usually don't have a big chunk of meat for just the 2 of us. Son says they will bring cocktails and dessert.

You all are awesome! Thank you so much for the help. Chase is that PW's smashed potatoes that you are speaking of? I have made those and considered them but decided not to do that - why I don't know?:) They are good. Jessica I thought about a herb/ving. style potato salad but thought it would compete w/the greek salad. Nancy I love Bleu Cheese and so do "some" others but the rest would stick their nose in the air! LOL! Linda - I agree w/ you and I worded wrong. I normally roast potatoes (cut in quarters) about 30 to 35 mins. at 425. You cook them longer? Asparagus I roast about the same amount of time as you. Trix. - I though about a make ahead potato casserole and Bumble the same w/scalloped or Au Gratin but I feel like that would be a bit much since the Crab Imperial is really rich. Twice baked potatoes crossed my mind also. Everyone is invited!!! The more the merrier! Bring on the wine, etc. I'm ready.:) Seriously, thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.

What Do You Put Your Deviled Eggs in For Easter?

Real nice looking deviled eggs Donna L. I did unpack my deviled egg plate and it holds 12 plus room for a few more in the center. That is enough for our meal, that way I won't have a lot of them left. I too have the plastic lidded ones and they are good to store or take eggs in. Two Rubbermaid ones and one Tupperware one. I also have several different glass ones and do use those for other meals. I use either Miracle Whip or Mayo in mine plus, some sugar, and some mustard. Not a lot of any of it. Some times I like to boil more eggs than I need and use the extra yolks so they will be nice and full and of course paprika on the top. Then I just eat the egg whites that are left over :) Sue

I made lasagna. I make it with ricotta, mozarella and sweet Italian turkey sausage (much less greasy). My 6 y/o DS *loves* lasagna. It's always good when I can make at least one of the family very, very happy. ;o) He eats it like it's chocolate cake! Just as I took it out of the oven, he came bouncing down the stairs licking his lips saying "I know what's for dinner! I smell lasagna!" Lasagna night is the night he will out-eat even his 15 y/o brother. Can't get enough. Tomorrow night he will ask me for leftovers. Too cute!

Easter Meal - What Do You Serve?

Ours is pretty basic, glazed baked ham (NOT spiral cut) & scalloped potatoes for sure. Probably a green salad containing a wide variety of baby greens. Maybe that pineapple casserole made with chunked pineapple, cheese, I forget what else, but it goes so good with ham! A green side dish of some sort. I'm seriously considering introducing the family to the roasted Brussels Sprouts with cranberries in a reduced Balsamic vinegar glaze (Pioneer Woman). Personally, I'd be happy with just that dish, it really is that good! Oh, and dessert is always fresh strawberry pie, even though I decided long ago that there is no such thing as good fresh strawberries in Texas. As no one else here has had fresh strawberries that don't have the hard white center, they think what we have here are good. That's okay, I just make the pie, I don't have to eat it! Rusty

I don't know because we will be eating at the nursing home with my mom. They have a great cook! (he could be a chef, I don't know!)

For home, I will be cooking a ham and making some potato salad so we can eat on that for a few days.

Moonie, the cook/chef at my mothers retirement apartment facility is pretty amazing too. I've been there when beef wellington has been one of the two nightly dinner entrees and its been prepared as well as any I've ever had.

I don't know yet what we're having for Easter though, we're thinking of meeting someplace my sister can join us too (165 miles in between her and Mom) after everyone has been to their respective church service so that will mean restaurant close to the interstate corridor. Which will be OK, we haven't all been together since Christmas Day.

I have a BIG ham here I need to cook sometime in the next few weeks (Christmas gift), will probably make it buffet, find a night that works for several and have a crowd here then - hoping not too many tired of ham right after Easter.

Nothing special here, but I'll be making cute spring and Easter egg cut out cookies earlier in the weeks with the girls next door. They are such good little helpers.

I'm not sure what we are going to do. My dd will be home tomorrow for spring break and then not coming home the next weekend for Easter. I've thought it might be fun to drive to KU and go out to eat with dd, but my mom's birthday is the next day so I feel like we need to celebrate Easter and her birthday together. Decisions, Decisions......

We're having a Baked Ham (Bone in) A casserole of potatoes, cabbage and bacon, asparagus, pickled red beets and eggs. I am not sure yet what I'm making for dessert. It won't be a large crowd just the 5 of us.

DH doesn't eat ham (which was the traditional Easter dinner when I was growing up), so I'll probably just cook a turkey breast.
