What's for Easter dinner at your house??

[MomofKatie]

What is everyone making for Easter dinner??

We are having an "all Mediterranean" dinner:

Hummus with pita
Spanikopita- spinach and Feta in filo dough (Greek)
polpettes- like a potato pancake with lots of Feta cheese (Greek)
zuchinni sauteed in Moroccan spices
roasted plum tomatoes w/garlic (Italian)
Turkish green salad (Turkey)
Moroccan roasted chicken (Morocco)

Dessert is more All American- we went to the u-pick strawberry place today, so we are going to have fresh strawberry shortcake.

 

[minkydog]

Mine is Southern all the way: brown sugar ham, turnip greens, green beans, carrot casserole, deviled eggs, and strawberry shortcake. Yum!

 

[clh2]

easy peasy stuff at our house...

ham, cheesy potatoes and green beans almondine.

Just the three of us, so no sense having too much more!

 

[katesorad]

Nothing at all! We're doing a fancy brunch at a hotel in the morning.. so we'll just pick at whatever food is around at night if we're hungry!

Sounds AMAZING!

We will be having roasted lamb w. cooked baby carrots, corn, roasted sweet potatoes and peppercorn sauce. Ice cream and fresh fruit as a dessert.

 

[cybrkitn]

Spiral ham (without the glaze)
Steamed asparagas
Carrots
Au Gratin potatoes (home-made)
Cheddar biscuits (also home-made)

FIL is bringing dessert and hasn't told us what he's bringing.

 

[si-am]

For lunch we are frying a ham steak and having sandwiches with deviled eggs.

For dinner, we're grilling steak (for me) and lamb chops (for my husband) and having twice baked potatoes and rolls with it.

This is the first Easter where we're not getting together with extended family (we saw them last week) so basically DH and I are making our own tradition!

 

[AustinTink]

Well, we took a vote. And since nobody in my family (besides me) loves the traditional Easter ham and turkey, we're going out to brunch. Then we're having Chinese for dinner. Works for me, no cooking!

 

[rszdtrvl]

I'm not cooking. After being grumpy that nobody is hosting or even wants to have a family dinner, I said "scr*w this" and decide that we are going to the casino for buffet.

** Sounds good to me, and the family will love it! My son is really looking forward to going tomorrow. And if we like it, we may even go on Thanksgiving.

 

[VeganCupcake]

MomOfKatie- ummm can you make room for 3 more?

We usually do a big big big brunch and then eat Brinner(breakfast/dinner) at night.

 

[plutotek]

All I know is we're having grilled pork loin roast w/a beer marinade, and baked potatoes. I know there is other stuff, but that's DW's area of expertise as she coordinates what the rest of the family is bringing (we're hosting). Tough part will be this is the first holiday w/no DS (at college), so the busier she is, the better she'll handle it.
