What's your Easter menu?

[ceecee]

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.

I saw that in Family Fun only made with Rice Krispie treats and pastal peanut M&Ms for the eggs!

We're having heavy h'ors doeurves for lunch- sweet & sour meatballs, pigs in blanket, popcorn chicken -with a crudite and dip. (I'm trying to clear out my garage freezer to defrost it so I am using all ingredients I have!)

Dinner will be :
Spiral Ham
Lemon Chicken stuffed with spinach/feta (I don't eat pork-so this is especially for me!)
salad
baked beans(this was requested by our friends in advance)
mashed potatoe pie
cole slaw
pasta salad or mac n cheese.

desert- I'll probably whip up sugar cookies and a chocolate cream pie.

I have decided to take it easy on the holiday cooking. At Thanksgiving, I'll pull out all the bells and whistles, but on Christmas and Easter, I'm going the easy route. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen on holidays, instead of being there, sharing moments with the kids. No more.

My menu tomorrow:

Risotto with grilled asparagus and grilled chicken breast (Dh is grilling the meat/asparagus, I'm making the risotto)
salad (the kids are making)
those "blue can" rolls (what the heck are they called--you roll them up)
cupcakes (not sure what kind, depends on what everyone feels like) maybe--there is a lot of kettle corn left from the baseball game tonight, plus the easter candy...

I can't make a ham. DD2 does not eat pork in any form (because pigs are cute); DH can't eat ham--too much sodium; DS only likes ham sandwiches. I really miss ham on Easter (pop in, glaze and go). /sigh
