Coconut Cake, it is a tradition! Put a couple of jelly beans on top, and it is delicious!

I make a pistachio cake that is super easy and delicious. I don't have the recipe on me right now but you can google it. It's made with white cake mix,a package of pistachio pudding mix, a cup of Sprite and I think eggs and oil. the frosting is milk, cool whip and pistachio pudding. It comes out a pretty pale green.

I cheat and use boxed mix. Here's the recipe I use, except I don't make the icing, I mix a half can cream cheese frosing with half a can lemon frosting and a teaspoon lemon juice for the frosting.

Old Fashioned Banana Pudding! It's our family tradition. I use the recipe that was on the box way back when (no instant pudding or whipped cream), the same one my mom used.

Everyone loves it, but I only do it for Easter.

Mascarpone cheesecake with strawberry sauce and brownies.

Thanks for some of these ideas! I have the whole meal figured out EXCEPT dessert. I am just not that good at picking out something!

My wife is making a chocolate souffle and I'm making Cassata. It's an old family recipe.

We'll have candy here and there of course, but those are the two main features.

I may make an Easter Bread too (it's a sweet one) but am not sure yet.

Another traditional pineapple upside down cake and whatever other creations our kids bring to our feast.

Yep, here too. We're having pork tenderloin, ham (was split 50/50, now doing both), twice baked potatoes, green bean almondine, green jello salad (not my favorite by any means, but its a tradition in DF family. Its more of a fluff than just the jello and pineapple) deviled eggs and then rolls. There will also be some appitizers chili cheese frito corn dip, and some veggies.

Its a pretty big meal, so I thought about just doing cookies, but I heard alot of moans and groans. Plus its easter! And I want to incorporate jelly beans too (maybe just on the side?) because DF lives for them....

Thanks for all the suggestions, I truly appreciate it!

Always lemon meringue pie

We had one of these:

made by my Grandma every year. Some years, I still make one.

My MIL emailed everyone about 2 weeks ago and they are taking us all out for dinner on Easter. It actually has me a little worried because DH and I have been married for 20 years and his family NEVER plans ahead for stuff like this .

My Mom called this "Polish Drumstick" and I don't know why:

Mix together:
2 cups crushed vanilla cookies
1/3 to 1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup melted butter
Press into a 9 X 13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool

Cream together:
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
Fold in 2 cups of Cool Whip and spread on crust.

Mix 2 - 3 oz. packages of Instant Chocolate Pudding with 3 cups of milk and pour over the cream cheese mixture.
Spread 2 cups of Cool Whip over pudding mixture and then sprinkle with nuts and shaved Hershey Bar.
This is sooooo good!

We're having pineapple upside-down cake, too. I think that'll go well with a ham dinner.
