I'm in charge of Easter dinner this year, with my younger sis possibly helping out. I need ideas for side dishes please! We are having ham and ???????

Mashed potatoes for the potato queen, duh.

sorry, couldn't resist teasing

Scalloped potatoes are good with ham, thats what we are having.......how about steamed asparagus......a nice salad...some rolls or biscuits

How about a lemon jello salad with pineapple tidbits and chopped bananas, cool whip on top?

**Jenlee** · 03-23-2005, 08:58 AM

My faves are the standard green bean casserole and macaroni and cheese, plus they go great with ham.

We'll be having roast pork loin with mashed potatoes, salad, rolls and asparagus.

**pkellyc** · 03-23-2005, 01:53 PM

Scalloped potatoes, spinach strawberry salad, ambrosia, asparagus, squash casserole and rolls to go with our ham. Hummingbird cake and cherry cheesecake pies for desert.

What's hummingbird cake?

**slowtypinwoman** · 03-23-2005, 05:52 PM

What about those cheesey potatoes with the corn flakes on top. MMMMMM Mouth watering

**SewCrafty** · 03-23-2005, 07:29 PM

All great ideas ladies, keep 'em coming!

Darlene, I'll deal with you later young lady!

Oh, and dad changed the menu. He went out and got pork tenderloins today to do on the grill. Well that is if it EVER stops snowing here.

I would like to know what hummingbird cake is too please?

Okay, I see a lot of people having scalloped potatos, do you cheat and use a box or do you have recipes to share? I would like to try something different than the usual mashed potatos

I make homemade pierogies. Yum!! And green beans, of course, and rolls, and some sort of pie. Cakes are for birthdays, pies are for holidays!

But I don't eat any red meat/pork- only turkey and very rarely turkey, so not sure what I will be making meat-wise, if I make anything. Usually, we got to my sister's house, but plans with her in-laws interfere this year.

Mmmmm Kimberly, I have had it in my mind to make homemade perogies lately too.

Care to share your recipe?

Mine is huge!

**Kimberlina** · 03-24-2005, 12:20 PM

Ummm....I'd love to, but I don't use a recipe.

After I posted this, I though, "oh, i hope no one asks for the recipe!" LOL and sorry!

I always make way too much, too. I am mostly english and irish, but my grandfather was polish/lithuanian, and pierogies are just in my veins. I just mix this and that until I get what I want. But I'm sure allrecipes or recipezaar must have a good recipe. Let me look. around.

Here are some links:

And here is a "mock" pierogie dish. It is a casserole made with lasagna noodles. I think I might just make this for dinner tonight (minus the Velveeta), as DD could eat pierogies at every meal if we let her. (My great gradmother would be appalled, but since I don't have time to make hommade ones frequently, I buy Mrs. T's for her....)
