I love holiday dinners with my extended family because we do it potluck-style. Without fail, on Easter we will have ham,cheesey potatoes, seven layer salad, deviled eggs, and lime pie along with whatever else we feel like making that year. Depending on who is coming, the standards are divvied out and then it’s up to the adventurous cooks to fill in the gaps.
In case you’re looking for ideas for YOUR Easter dinner, here are some favorites I pulled from the archives:
Herb Roasted Lamb with Roasted Asparagus
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
What are YOU having for Easter?
Believe it or not, I think we are having what we lovingly call “pepere’s spaghetti”. My dad (pepere is french for grandpa) made THE best spaghetti, but it is a lot of work and I want to make a large amt. if I am going to the trouble of making it! Meatballs, sweet italian as well as spicy italian sausage, peppers, mushrooms, onions….mmmm. So that, plus a huge salad and homemade garlic bread!
The kids all love it, and I’ll be darned if I am buying a Smithfield ham after watching Food, INC.!
YUM!
There will be asparagus, scalloped potatoes, and coconut cream pie for sure…still not sure about everything else. I’m not a big fan of ham, but it seems like we always end up with one anyway.
Oh fantastic! I am actually on a juice and broth fast this Easter, so we had our tasty treats early this year. But please come and share this post with our Easter Rebirth Bloghop! I am trying to eat by dreaming about the delicious foods this year 🙂
I get lucky this year I work Easter sunday and hubby and teens will be fixing dinner
