What's your Easter menu?

[cheap traveler]

I've never cooked easter dinner before, so this is a first for me. Actually, I've never hosted any holiday before!

Our group consists of 7 adults, 5 kids, 1 baby, and 1 fetus , so it leans a bit to the kids.

This is the menu as of today (it changes often):

Ham (my friend is coming early to cook this)
mashed potatoes
corn
broccoli
applesauce
crecent rolls and grands jr flaky buscuits
deviled eggs
funfetti cupcakes for dessert

(might talk my mother into bringing cookies too)

Also serving snacks during the egg hunt:
cheese and crackers
cut fruit

We make homemade raviolis instead of lasagna.

Send me some anise cookies, please. I love them. I can't wait until wedding season starts so I can get me some anise cookies at the reception!

It's pretty easy but kind of time consuming. First hull the strawberries and then carefully pipe in cheesecake filling. Sometimes I use the Philly premade or I'll whip up a cheesecake filling using either the jello cheesecake flavor or creamcheese and powdered sugar mix. After that I place the strawberries in the fridge to set, then dip them in chocolate and dip the top part in graham cracker crumbs they're a big hit!!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, DD10 and I will be having spaghetti and meatballs (no ham or anything else) - it's our own little weird Easter tradition Since it is a holiday, I'll make it a bit more exciting by adding garlic bread LOL

 

[ExPirateShopGirl]

I'll be making my favorite Easter meal of all... reservations for the 9:30 a.m. sitting at the country club for brunch! We'll attend the Easter Vigil mass the night before so we can walk our brunch off instead of sitting in church.

 

[tikilyn]

Our small family of 4 will be eating KFC!!!! I'm not cooking this year for any holiday except Thanksgiving and Christmas! I'm so lazy!lol

 

[tavettava]

We are having spiral ham, tuna mac, potato salad, deviled eggs, taco salad, enchiladas, and baked beans. We probably will make other things but as of right now thats our dinner.

 

[sherry7]

Great ideas everyone!

This is what I have figured out so far:
spiral ham
potato salad
mashed potatoes & gravy
au gratin potatoes (yes, we really like potatoes!)
ranch pasta salad
pickled eggs
yeast rolls
caramel cake

I need to add something green too. I'm not sure why I'm bothering, since no one will probably eat it anyway.

 

[ceecee]

With 3 diabetics in the family, I'm trying to stay away from a lot of carbs...
Ham (not honey baked!)
spinach salad
fresh fruit salad
steamed aspargas
steamed brocolli and carrots
still looking for dessert!!!

How does she make the mini cheesecake Easter baskets?

Thanks,
Maggie

Bake cheesecake in muffin tins (use whatever recipe you like). Top with green-dyed coconut or use green icing with a grass tip if you don't like coconut. Put some jelly beans or chocolate eggs in the middle of the green "nest" and then use a piece of licorice for the "handle"- just stick it far into one end of the cheesecake and then push it in the opposite side so the loop sticks straight up.
