[TommyO]

44. Recipe saved for the next family gathering!

It sounds like a perfect dessert.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Oh my!

That looks incredibly delicious!!!!

[Maddy McCall]

8. I'm smoking a ham right now.

That's why I'm still up. Aaargh. Just got MMjr's Easter basket finished. We'll eat at my Mom's---I know that she's fixing a big pan of dressing. So for certain, ham and dressing are on the menu. I imagine that we'll devil some of the four dozen eggs we decorated tonight.

And probably jelly beans and chocolate bunny for desert. :)

[SeattleGirl]

11. MrSG makes an incredible wild rice dressing that is to die for.

We usually have it at Thanksgiving and Christmas, though per her request, he also made it for her wedding dinner.

Hope you have a good one, Maddy!

[Maddy McCall]

13. Back atcha, sweetheart.

Just being with my family is the best thing.

Hope y'all have a great day tomorrow. Steaks and ribs sounds yummmmm.

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

14. Thanks, darlin'

:hug:

[Saphire]

15. mine:

thick pork chop
candied yams
green beans
hot rolls
ice tea

desert: assorted leftovers from the easter basket booty..

[Roon]

16. I think my Grandparents are doing a ham

We have a couple of turkeys in the deep freeze but I think they are sticking with ham this year. Either way, I am going to chow down!!!

[mcscajun]

17. It's a surprise to me -- I'm dining at a sister's house.

I rarely ask what's on the menu when I'm invited. Sometimes it's offered in conversation, though this time, not.

It'll be fine, whatever it is. :)

[Guava Jelly]

18. We are going out to eat for Easter

So i have no idea.
I am hoping we go to a cajun restaurant.

[malta blue]

19. Puerto Rican Easter fare...

Pernil
arroz con guandules
pickled green bananas
fried ripe plantains
salad
mango cake

[Chan790]

21. What are Pernil and guandules?

the rest of that I could really go for. Rice, pickled banana, fried plantain, salad, mango cake...yum. Certainly beats what I'm having for Easter dinner. (Chili's or Bertucci's or Wood N' Tap...pub-fare-type pseudo-ethnic dreck in any case)

[malta blue]

25. pernil is a roasted pork shoulder with heaps

of garlic and cilantro. Guandules are pigeon peas.

The house is really smelly from the pernil right now....:9

[Danmel]

20. Matzah, Matzah and More Matzah

You know, they always talk about how Jews feel left out at Christmas. Quite frankly, I don't envy Christmas at all- way too much work and way way way too much pressure.

But after 5 days of Matzah based everything, with my tummy in knots, I really do envy me some lamb and rolls and peeps.

[bearfan454]

22. Slow baked ribs

butter noodles, green beans, and Sarah Lee cheesecake with Reddi whip.

[Katina]

23. Breast of Duck

with cherry balsamic sauce, green beans and fingerling potatoes...and the best lemon meringe pie for dessert. :toast:

[Left Is Write]

24. We're having Easter brunch instead.

Eggs in some form and bacon are on the menu. Coffee and orange juice too.

Mr. LIW is looking through bread and coffee cake recipes right now.

[Left Is Write]

26. All right - we found a coffee cake recipe to try.

Orange coffee cake with a pecan/brown sugar streusel topping is in the oven now. I've got peaches in orange juice in the freezer getting slushy. When those items are ready, I'm going to scramble eggs with smoked Cheddar cheese and fry some bacon.

[tigereye]

29. between the lemon cream cheese pie recipe and this

Ive gained 10 pounds! :hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

27. Leftover pizza for lunch. I don't know about dinner.

:) We'll go out to eat tonight.

[Omphaloskepsis]

28. Freezer Pizza..

I didn't realize people made special Easter dinners.

[Left Is Write]

31. For many, a traditional Easter dinner includes lamb or ham...

potatoes, asparagus, and hot cross buns or other rolls.

Some people also serve deviled eggs made out of the colored Easter eggs. :)

[Omphaloskepsis]

33. My family never did Easter dinners.. We did do baskets for a few years.

My mom was big on putting large gifts in with our baskets. One year I got an aluminum baseball bat. I was six or seven at the time. I was playing baseball with my sister that Easter morning. She ended up hitting me on the head with the bat.. Yadda, Yadda, hospital, blood, and more blood. Easter was dead in my family after that.

[tigereye]

30. my brother is serving lamb

and baklava.

[mvd]

32. Ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green beans

:hi:

[grannylib]

34. Sounds yummy! We are doing ham and green bean casserole from scratch

since I hate cream of mushroom soup, ish...and spinach salad and pumpkin muffins and baked spuds and oatmeal/coconut/sunflower seed/chocolate chunk cookies and a little wine and some coffee and some Scrabble and maybe some Cribbage and just hanging out with the family!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

35. broth and dry toast

I don't know what I've got but it's caused intense abdominal pain for three days. Seems to be subsiding. Mmm, dry toast.

[SPKrazy]

36. Ham and Lamb

and beef and potatoes, and salad, and bread, and dessert, and ....

I'm stuffed

:rofl:

[gbate]

37. Pork tenderloin, skillet potatoes, salad and chocolate mousse.

[GalleryGod]

38. Well EARL's cookin' so we might have wait a bit...

[GalleryGod]

39. Well...

Startin' with BIRD.

[Dervill Crow]

40. Quorn meat-free roast for me, spiral spliced ham for them.

mashed taters
sweet taters
vegie tray
fruit salad
deviled eggs

I had a bunch of Morningstar hotdogs for lunch so I won't starve if this meat-free roast is awful--I haven't tried it before.

[u4ic]

41. I was at a friend's for dinner.

We had a fairly traditional dinner of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, caulifower, gravy and a green bean/veggie mix.

For dessert, we had white cake with chocolate toffee sauce and mocha icing.

She even did the gluten-free thang for me with the stuffing and cake. None of her kids noticed. :-)


It was very yummy! :9

[VenusRising]

42. Homemade lasagna from my Sopranos cookbook.

In honor of the kick off to the end of the Sopranos. Spinach, mushrooms, ground spicy italian sausage, and loads of cheese and gravy. It was awesome!!

BTW...The. Best. Sauce. Ever.

I will never buy sauce in a jar or can again. That is all.

[TommyO]

43. I did a dinner from the local high-end supermarket

An excellent honey-glazed, spiral-sliced ham
Potatoes Au-Gratin
Green Beans
Potato Salad
Rolls

I also had a nice veggie platter greeting people as they arrived

The rest of the family provided other things like several pounds of shrimp, kielbasa, and cheesecake.

We had a great time.

[av8rdave]

45. Not much of an Easter dinner this year

Spent most of the day flying from St Lucia to Atlanta, checked into hotel late, had a sandwich and a beer at a hole in the wall down the street that's open until 4.

It was good, though.
