I am sorry to hear you miss it but I am glad you shared your feelings. It will remind me to be grateful for this time in our life, when at times I can feel overwhelmed with everyone always coming to my place.

Everyone is making my mouth water. Thanks to Quilte for giving a heads up on just plopping the ham in the crock pot and adding only a little water. Between everyone's likes and dislikes plus allergies this might be one of the better options for us.

............... and oh so easy! And the scalloped potatoes are just about as easy too. Just a little more work, being that you have to peel them first!

And that is what is SO important ... easy food, so there is lots of time for the people, the MOST important of any gathering!!!!! ENJOY!!!

We're having baked (glazed) ham, baked beans, candied yams, hash brown potato casserole (a must have for dgd), 7 layer salad, green beans w/mushrooms, rolls, two kinds of pie and Easter decorated cutout cookies. I decorated them today and will freeze them. I usually have two appetizers for everyone to munch on till dinner's ready. Sending a couple dozen cookies home this week with my best friend. Her kids love them and she has out of town guests staying with four kids. A lot of it can be done the day before and DH helps with the cooking so it's really not bad at all. Plus I buy the pies at a wonderful bakery.

I have been requested to make what our family calls "Foam". It takes 1 small tub of sour cream, one small tub of whipped cream, and one small tub of cottage cheese. This is where the fun starts. Chose a flavor of Jello in a small box, and fruit to complement the Jello. Blend all in a large non metal bowl, pour into pretty serving bowl and refrigerate for at least a couple hours. We like orange jello with mandarin orange segments, lime jello with pineapple, peach jello with chopped canned peaches, berry jello with fresh beries, (but if you use berries be sure to stir everything else together first so as not to smash the berries, then gently fold in the berries.) you can add about two cups of drained or chopped fruit, or coconut. I hope to find apple Jello this year and add chopped apples and cinnamon. New idea, wish me luck....lol!

We're having ham, corn, green beans with bacon, rolls, smashed spuds, cole slaw, and lemon pie for dessert...there are only 3 of us and we let Bob Evans cook! We'll reheat it at home. I'll also make a pecan pie. Gotta have the pecan pie!

Awe, I just love this thread, love to see what everybodys different traditions are, so neat! Does make me hungry too! Good luck to everyone trying different recipes, condolences to those celebrating the "first" holiday with someone missing, know what thats like, will be the 4th one for me without my other half and still having tough time. Probably wont get to have crawfish boil, but will have family with me, and in the end, that is all that really matters! Hoppy Easter Everyone!

When our oven had to be replaced I prepared a Christmas dinner for 10 in my roasters and crock pots. Cheesy potatoes, ham, green bean casserole (crock pot), rolls, desserts. Getting hungry just typing.

My vote is for Cracker Barrel or some place else that does all the work.. It's not as much fun just cooking for 2
