Easter
What are your plans for this upcoming Easter? If you're cooking, what's on the menu?
I am hosting this year and trying to figure out a good menu. I always wind up with 9 million sides.
Re: Easter
No cooking for me! We're doing brunch at my aunt's and dinner with the ILs. There will be Easter egg hunts at both places. DH has to work until 5 so he'll miss the brunch but meet us for dinner at his parents'.
Good luck with the cooking- what's on the menu so far?
Definitely having ham. I got a free one from Shop Rite! Although I always upgrade to the Spiral one. They are just better.
i have 12 for a big dinner saturday night and then 7 for brunch the following day. the dinner menu is in a post about 1/2 way down the page. lots of apps, sides and desserts. we usually do a pork roast for dinner because i am not a huge fan of ham :
brunch is easy- honey baked ham, hb sweet potato cassarole, some sort of scrambled egg bake, pastries, fruit, coffee, juice and mimosas. minimal cooking for me. popping stuff in the oven after church i can handle.
On the menu so far is ham (pineapples on top), pineapple stuffing (sooo good!), homemade mashed potatoes, biscuits.
I think SIL is making baked macaroni and cheese and MIL is making something involving veggies. Green beans? corn? no idea.
I'm stuck on a dessert idea.
I always make this dessert to take as its such a hit and pretty simple to make:

Ham, scalloped potates, asparagus, dinner rolls.
Short, simple and my favorite!!!
Good call on the deviled eggs! I'm adding those to MIL's list.
We are usually at the shore for Easter but this year dh doesn't want to chance an overnight stay so we just decided yesterday that dinner will be at our house. I ordered a veal roast and plan to pick up an hb ham, MIL is making potato salad, still need to figure out other sides and dessert. I want to try to make some homemade strawberry ice cream, no clue what else
jewels- can you post the corn casserole or email me? thanks!

i was wondering where you ended up booking. are you all set for getting the devil out of the little man?
a) yum
b) reading that just made me want a giant glass of wine.
Kel - this is MIL's http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/baked-corn-pudding/Detail.aspx
I think her recipes calls for cornstarch, but this is the recipe I use when I want to make it. They call it "Baked Corn" in their part of PA, but you can also search Corn Pudding.
She also makes this one which I made for xmas - it's also very good but it comes out more like Jiffy cornbread. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Corn-I/Detail.aspx
My aunt makes the pineapple stuffing that Tam is making and it's awesome!
yes sort of, prejordan tonight. i hate his outfit but found nothing great so instead a sweater is going over p's outfit it. baby had the most skeptical look on his face when i tried it on him. can't post it now (iphone) but i got a pic
too funny lachute! i love the fact that the baby was giving you the side eye for not loving his christening outfit. that is awesome.
i have my christening gown for a girl and my dad's christening blanket. dh's parents are looking to see if they can find any of his stuff. we shall see.
yeah my mom has my gown which is really timeless and cute, and we have my blanket which will accompany him. p's is very 1970s well the romper part, polyester and all and not as classic.
