Easter dinner/main meal

[Anonymous]

What are you serving?

We only have 6 adults, 2 kids, so I’m thinking:
Ham
Scalloped potatoes (Gruyère)
Asparagus or green beans
Fruit salad
Yeast rolls

For dessert, a huge specialty chocolate egg filled with candies that my mom brings, the kids will have their Easter baskets, and my brother will probably bring a bakery dessert

Wine
Beer
Still and sparkling water
Sparkling apple juice

For an appetizer, crudite, crackers and homemade French Onion dip

That sounds like a nice traditional Easter meal. There’s only three of us (all adults), so I’ll probably just make a ham, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. We don’t do appetizers or dessert unless we have company.

I would like to do a ham like we used to have when I was a kid. Problem is i don’t know what kind of ham it was. It was spiral sliced. My grandmother would put shallow slices across it to make diamonds and then put a whole clove in each corner before baking. It was get a deep red/pink color while baking. Maybe it was smoked? Anyway, i am making that if i can figure out what kind of ham to get. And twice baked potatoes, which we used to call potato boats. And asparagus.
Apps will be celery, carrots, and deviled eggs, of course!
Pecan pie for dessert.

I make lamb marinated in lots of garlic and rosemary and scalloped potatoes.

We make rabbit stew and lamb chops. (Some of the little kids have cried in the past when they found out they ate the Easter bunny but its a long running family joke).

The kids decorate a bunny cake and help to put together a bunny shaped veggie platter

For sides we usually do mac n cheese, potatoes, 2 greens and rolls.
