We have turkey dinner with sweet potatoes, veggies, etc. It's basically our Thanksgiving meal, but in April so I can have leftover turkey sandwiches again.  We'll have carrot cake instead of pies though. |

This year I'm doing "Schinken in Brotteig" - it's a traditional German holiday dish where rye bread dough is wrapped around a cooked ham and baked. I've seen it called "Ham Wellington" before, but I think technically a Wellington is a bit different (white bread dough plus the addition of mustard or something smeared on the ham before wrapping).
In addition to the ham, we'll have deviled eggs, potato salad, broccoli casserole and baked spinach. For dessert I'll either do a carrot cake or a lemon blueberry bundt.

We are doing dinner with my family on the Friday. That way my brother can stay over and not worry about work the next morning. Super small - middle DD is leaving for Cuba that day, so just us an my Mom & brother, possibly nephew too.
We are having spiral ham, but we are going to do it on the smoker, and then scalloped potatoes, salad and a veggie of some kind, plus dessert.
With DH's family - his sister owns a retail store so she quit having a huge Easter. FIL turns 80 the following weekend and we are in the US for a basketball tournament. So the Saturday we are taking MIL & FIL out for dinner to the Keg. I'm bringing cake along to surprise him! So dinner will definitely be an amazing steak and all the go-withs.
That's it!

Ds turns 16 on Good Friday, DD writes her last exam on Saturday and we are picking her up for a week at home before she starts her summer job in her university town. Also as she is not going to be home for the summer or probably ever living at home for an extended period again I am switching the kids rooms. DD's room is twice the size of ds's. So I am planning on cleaning, painting and rearranging both of them plus the master bedroom over the long weekend. All that to say not too much time to get fancy with the cooking. I think we will have steak, shrimp, grilled asparagus, garlic mushrooms and twice baked potatoes with birthday cake for dessert.

DD, SIL and our three grandies will be here for lunch Easter Sunday.
The menu will be roast pork, with lots of crackling, roast potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli rice, roast carrots and a dish of greens which is usually asparagus, green beans, peas and cherry tomatoes with a balsamic dressing.
Dessert will probably be chocolate pudding with cream and/or ice-cream.
We do an egg hunt before lunch so it is debatable just how much the grandies actually eat!

Ham, Potatoes au Gratin, Green Beans, Roasted Carrots, Green Salad, Fruit Tray, Hawaiian Rolls, Deviled Eggs, Apple Pie, and Ice Cream. Ham, Potatoes, Green Beans, and Hawaiian Rolls are what I grew up having on Easter so I stick close to that menu every year. I've rounded it out because my oldest doesn't like ham or potatoes  |

I'm having surgery on Friday, so we haven't planned a darn thing for Easter other than to get a bit of candy for our 19-year-old. I guess we should look into it.

Everyone enjoy your gatherings and delicious meals! What is this Bloody Mary bar you speak of?? I can get on board with that, it sounds wonderful! We’re doing ham, hashbrown casserole, sweet potatoes, green beans, deviled eggs, Mac and cheese. Sweet tea, mimosas and veggie pizza beforehand. Banana cream pie and a raspberry cheesecake for dessert. |
