AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 03/27 Easter Edition!

Your husband requested salad? Mine too! Glad I am not alone.

We are having Easter dinner today. Ham, sweet potatoes, salad and our dogs favorite.... our Easter bunny cake. Not that we would intentionally feed the dog cake, but the dog managed to fed itself bunny cake every year since we moved into our new house 3 years ago.

What makes it really weird is the dog has an oppertunity every night of the year to steal food off of the table and/or counter and the ONLY food she has attempted to eat is the coconut bunny cake. I like to think of her as a new age suburban hunting dog.

We're having a big family gathering at DM's. I'm bringing brisket, party potatoes, deviled eggs, dill bread and rolls. There will probably be about 30 people. This will be the first time neither of my kids will be there. 

We're going to my in loves for dinner. There will be ham, twice baked potatoes, smashed sweet potatoes, rolls, ambrosia salad.

I made broccoli salad and homemade carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!!

Happy Easter, everyone!!

I'm roasting a chicken to serve with new potatoes and peas. For dessert, we're having marshmallow Peeps.

It's a very wet and chilly Easter Sunday here in my part of the UK so no walk on the beach today - but the Easter Bunny did manage to get through with a large box of my favourite chocolates!     Work shifts are keeping a couple of people away today so we will be having our family Easter meal tomorrow.

Tonight we are are having gammon ham with pineapple and mango sauce, new potatoes, broccoli and other veg followed by lemon meringue pie for dessert.

We are having cola glazed ham, baked cheesy potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze, broccoli-cauliflower salad, deviled eggs, whole wheat rolls and cherry coke jello salad.  

Happy Easter!

We are headed to good friends later with ham and Swiss cheese rolls with that sauce poured over them before baking. A spring lettuce salad with asparagus tips, avocado, pear, and expensive cheese (that a certain someone in my house thought was a good way to celebrate) crumbled on it. Greek dressing. Friends will provide a huge fruit salad.

And I could not resist a red and black lumberman's shirt for $3 at Kmart for the friends' three-year-old. Gosh, little kids' clothes are so cute.

Thanks for the thread.

We're having a bit of a mayo fest here

Baked ham
green beans 
deviled eggs (very basic...nothing extra added!)
coleslaw
potato salad
fresh made rolls

Easter candy for dessert

Fishburgers....I'm still suffering (but silently, of course ) from a cold, so we needed something that's easy to make.

My DIL's mother invited me to join them for dinner this year. I understand we are having BBQ ribs but not certain what the rest of the menu will be. My part is dessert, which will be apple and key lime pies. My DS wanted apple but I wanted key lime so both were necessary.

I don't really have anything to do today. My kids are gone and my in-laws that I used to spend Easter with moved out of the area. My sister invited me to BIL's family's Easter dinner but meh. So I'm home alone and I think I'll have these bacon-cheese-zucchini muffins along with deviled eggs and Easter candy (which I've already made inroads on).

ETA: Everyone's menus sound delicious. You're all making me salivate!


I am making a prime rib roast. I don't love ham, one of the dds thinks turkey is only good on Thanksgiving. Trying to find something different that we would all like, so prime rib it is.

Also serving parmesan herb roasted new potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise.

Dessert is tiramisu, dd's famous lofthouse cookies, pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream, and last but not least, Bunny Tracks ice cream.

I already made deviled eggs for an appetizer and they disappeared pretty quickly. I use a basic recipe but topped each one with a bit of bacon. yum

Ham, just ham. See my other thread about recipes you screw up on. My husband can make something else if he wants more.

We are having rack of lamb, Mac and cheese ( for the kids), brocolli, mashed taters
