I'm fixing leftover (from Christmas) honeybaked ham, turkey breast, cheesy hashbrowns (with sour cream and cream of celery soup, creamed peas (Springy), dollar buns, two layer Jello Bavarian (orange and lime) and Strawberry Shortcake. Nice and easy too!

Have a happy Easter, all of you. Edie

asparagus sounds good, or I like french style green beans in the green bean dish.

cyniree 04-03-2010 04:46 AM

don't forget dessert. green bean casserole, deviled eggs, from the eggs dyed the night before, lol, I still love to dye eggs, my youngest is 16, my oldest is 26, and 2 more in between and we all still dye eggs together.

Here's a quick, easy and tasty recipe that I make a lot.
May in Jersey

Spoon Bread Casserole
(6-8 Servings)
1 pkg. "JIFFY" Corn Muffin Mix
1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
1 can (8 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (8 oz.) cream style corn
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat oven to 375°, grease 1-1/2 quart casserole dish.

Pour margarine or butter and corn into prepared dish. Blend in sour cream. In separate bowl, beat eggs and stir into casserole along with muffin mix. Blend thoroughly. Bake 35-40 minutes or until center is firm. Serve hot with butter.

I would think that your menu would depend on how many people you will be serving. When I had lots of people I usually did ham, scalloped potatoes, acni-de-pepi fruit salad, coconut cake. But now with just with me and one sweet ole' guy, we'll have baked chicken this year. But Easter isn't complete without deviled eggs. The ones with blue dye lines from cracked decorated eggs were the ones I always got. . .

Let us know how your dinners turned out.

grandma Janice 04-03-2010 08:33 AM

I'm going to my son's house. My daughter -in-law is a very good cook. she is the chief dietician at the new bone hospital here. But in days gone by, I made ham, Sweetpotatoes,corn, mixed green salad and deviled eggs. I let the kids bring the drinks and dessert.

mjsylvstr 04-03-2010 10:45 AM

How about a nice bowl of cold slaw and/or a jello mold........
and then a delicious dessert.

It isn't dinner without dessert

Whatever you serve, enjoy the day and the company

May,

I'm making that too except we call it cornbread casserole and it's the only way to eat creamed corn as far as I'm concerned. I am making tiramisu for dessert for Dh. He just loves it so I make it about three times per year for him. I love the leftover coffee with the amaretto in it after it's all made. Start drinking the coffee too early and you can screw up the dessert.

Sue Fors 04-03-2010 01:59 PM

I would add cole slaw and fresh asparagus to the menu.

Chele 04-03-2010 02:13 PM

I gained 10 pounds reading this thread! Yummy! The only thing I can add is dried lima beans cooked after the ham in the ham drippings. Or lentils with lamb. Sounds like we're all going to eat well tomorrow! Happy Easter! Pace yourselves!

Chasing Hawk 04-03-2010 02:15 PM

We are having barbecued salmon, long grain/wild rice, creamed corn and deviled eggs.

Up North 04-03-2010 02:41 PM

Well we were going to have deviled eggs but my son made scrambled eggs today and there is only enough left to make the pumpkin pie.

Hi MJ,
I have a degree in culinary arts, cooking is a piece of cake (hehe) for me. Everything is homemade nothing store bought. In the summer I can veggies and make jam. I do container gardening on my deck. I have pots of fresh herbs growing on the window sills at all times. I bake bread at least twice a week. I wish I had my own chickens for fresh eggs. I wish you lived closer too we could have one BIG party!!!!!!!!!!

All is not ruined. Take the amount of sugar called for in the recipe, sprinkle it over the top of the pie, put the pie under the broiler until the sugar melts and is pale brown, watch carefully as it will burn. It will be a glaze and no one will know you messed up. Then top with cool whip. or if you have a can of pie filling, top the pumpkin pie with that, or take jam heat it in the microwave until it is runny pour over the pie then put in fridge until the jam sets.

Up North 04-04-2010 04:58 AM

Do you think if I scoop the filling out and mix it with sweetened cream cheese it will be like a pumpkin cheesecake?

azdesertrat 04-04-2010 05:39 AM
