What are you cooking for Easter dinner?

[Spirit Deer]

Oh, yeah, that reminds me. I think I've decided to add Tortuga rum cake to our picnic meal for dessert. Too decadent for everyday use!

I was just going to make lentil soup. Then I found out two families we know didn't have anywhere to go for Easter so I decided to make Easter dinner and have them over.

We're having:
-spiral ham with a maple syrup/pineapple juice marinade
-mashed potatoes
-stuffing
-apple pie with ice cream

One family is bringing green bean casserole

[lovemydogs]

Spiral ham (put in the oven before going to church, fresh green beans and new potatoes (put in slow cooker after putting ham in oven), strawberry shortcake...... pretty easy!

I posted my family brunch menu on the Easter thread but here it is.
There will be 19 of us tomorrow.

We're going to start with a glass of sparkling wine (tradition in our family as well as in most of Holland).

Then I have - in no special order since it will be served buffet style.

tea/coffee/milk/juice

bagels/muesli bread rolls/brown and white bread rolls/matze crackers/raisin bread filled with almond spice.

of course butter and cream cheese

fruit salad (mangoes/strawberries/apples/pineapple)

sliced cheese/ham/thinly sliced roast beef/ham salad pie


red pepper and tomato soup with basil cream served with a cheese stick

strawberries marinated in prosecco syrup decorated with fresh mint

asparagus with snippets of ham with a rich creamy sauce on the side

sausages, bacon and fried eggs

smoked salmon (with snippets of red onion on the side)


For dessert, I have

summer pudding
cupcakes
Easter choccies
bunt cake
coconut cookies.

Should be good. Still debating whether or not I should make blueberry pancakes as well.
