I'm doing my Easter dinner tonight because GW will be gone all weekend and it will give me time to make a dent in the leftovers on the weekend. It's going to be simple, spiral ham with a brown sugar glaze, mashed potatoes, salad and rhubarb/strawberry pie with ice cream for dessert. What are you having?

No idea. I don't feel like bringing anything for me, so whatever meatless sides are on the table. Usually potatoes and veggies.

Nothing. We're leaving for vacation on Monday. DH is working and I don't want a bunch of leftovers.

We'll likely go to our favorite neighborhood diner for lunch. That's about as much enthusiasm as we have.

I bought a half fully-cooked Publix premium ham. I wanted to buy a ham all week since it was Spring Break, but I waited for the Easter grocery sale.
I looked up the brown-sugar glaze online and will probably try that, Later, thanks to you. I will also have mashed potatoes but probably green beans. I don't really do desserts. DH does, but I'm sure there's a single-serving something in the freezer that I can make him. Or give him a hostess cupcake. The guy is obscene: over 6 feet and about 145 pounds. AND he eats junky sweets!

I am Jewish so...............Whike I do not follow the more traditional dietary laws I do NOT eat pork over Passover. Just seems wrong to me to eat a ham sandwich on matzo. This is a VERY heavy cooking & carb eating week plus quite expensive ingredient wise.
I am posting my menus in the Smart Spending Dinner thread.

Local buffet.
It's just the two of us and I don't want a lot of left-overs.

Why get all worked up over the Easther dinner? There is another one next weekend. Easther I mean! Maybe you, any of you will want to celebrate that one?! And yes, an Easther dinner should not under any circumstances contain pork! That's if you care about customs or traditions.

Later, we're having the spiral-sliced ham, too! We're not going to have the green bean casserole (DD's favorite), because she's still at her internship, but I'll probably make it for her once she's back home. We'll also have stuffing, & our desserts include Dutch apple pie & white cake with strawberries. I often make a coconut cake, but I'll do that one also once DD is back. (In case you haven't guessed, DH doesn't like the green bean casserole or the coconut cake. I married a picky eater.)

I'll be having a panic attack... My mom decided to show her face for easter and showed up at my grandmas yesterday She left me a messege and acted like everything is peachy. What was turning out to be a wonderfully stress free holiday now has my stomach in knots. She left a nice little post on FB about how she was going to be a hypocrite this weekend and it should be a short trip. Nothing like being a bitch on FB, showing up unannounced and being fake nice I need some tums and a glass of wine

We're going to my ILs tomorrow. I assume we're having ham, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, and deviled eggs, but I won't know for sure until we get there. There will definitely be salad since that's what we were told to bring. I'm also assuming birthday cake for dessert since BIL's birthday is today and DH's is tomorrow.

I don't know.....we're going up to TD's mom in BC tomorrow for dinner and I think she mentioned she was getting a ham, but am clueless as to what else. I asked her if there was anything that we could bring and she said nothing.
If we were here, I'd be making my marinated grilled lamb, tzatziki, flatbread, a Greek salad and maybe rice pilaf.

Steak, turkey breast, hash brown casserole, sweet potatoes, green beans, noodles, rolls, deviled eggs, veggie tray and apple cake. And butter sculpted in the shape of a lamb. One of our newer traditions that I stole from wibeth.

Lamb chops marinated with garlic and rosemary, baby turnips and baby potatoes mashed together, plus steamed sugar snap peas. Dessert is something called a Scarlett Pie from Whole Foods. Never had one before but it looks good and the ingredient list includes apples, pears, figs, etc. What's not to like Plus a pricey bottle of wine

LOL you guys are making me feel like Martha Stewart! Dinner was great and I don't need to cook for the rest of the weekend. this recovering Catholic has been craving turkey for a few weeks, and has one in brine in my basement fridge overnight. after fielding a huge ration of grief from family about not spending 3h in the car to eat a meal in honor of a holiday I no longer celebrate, I planned out my sides. roasted butternut squash w/wilted spinach, craisins, almonds...garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing, and crescent rolls. my roommate waited til late last night to mention a corn casserole. I had never heard of that before, and after reading the various recipes, he is making that dish. I bought the ingredients, but ick. sent from my electronic distraction

Thanks Chiver Dodged some calls today, had other plans and will only be at my grandmas for a short time tomorrow anyway since DH picked up a part time job on the side and needs to leave by 3pm. Will try to power through and not cause any drama on my part. <<sips wine, staying calm>>

Want a rum and coke, heavy on the rum? That's what I'm sucking down. Course, that would explain why I just burned my hand cooking my steak. Anyway, no clue what we're eating tomorrow. Going to BIL and SIL's. I assume ham is on the menu since she asked if we liked it. Otherwise I'll grab something when I get to work at 9(PM). Oh yay.

Easter dinner, which for us is next weekend will be celebrated at my sister's. She'll be serving the usual Easter fare, a roast leg of lamb, piroshki, pastitsio, spanakopita, and all the sides. Desert will be kulichi and sirnaya pascha. (kind of like Russian Easter cheesecake)
