What Will You Have For Your Easter Meal?

10 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 Day Are You Having Your Easter Dinner?

Our Easter dinner will be on Sunday afternoon. We only have about half of the family. Our oldest son and his family are vacationing in FL. I have a very easy meal planned. The cooking will be done on the grill. We'll have ham slices and I think I can heat the twice-baked potatoes on the top shelf in the grill. I hope to bake some special bread tomorrow. For dessert we will have Strawberry shortcake and lemon bars. We will only have one little kid, but we will have a egg hunt, indoors. I think the weather is expected to be nice and warm. Yesterday was up in the 70's, which is amazing for MN, but it is already humid out there.

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

What did you (or will you) have for your favorite meal today?

Ancient grain oatmeal from Trader Joe's was my best meal so far. I woke up late today, in the afternoon. Now I'm eating lunch: Sonic jr. cheeseburger, which isn't great. I have some chicken thighs thawing in the fridge and bought some green beans and new red potatoes yesterday at a farmer's market when me and my daughter were running all over town. I mainly went for their peaches, which are usually wonderful, this time they weren't quite ripe. Didn't feel like thawing the chicken in the microwave and cooking the veggies. But am thinking of tossing this awful burger and just eating a peach. Anyway, going to make some of the green beans later with potatoes and onions. Will eat a little for a late night dinner tonight. Tomorrow I'll bake the chicken to go with the rest.

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.
