My grandmother made them when I was little - probably when Velveeta cheese was first introduced.
I would be willing to try them but I am sure they are loaded with sodium and I would be a balloon for days !!! |
We are still in FL for the winter. We are leaving for home the Saturday after Easter and I didn't want to cook because I didn't want to have leftovers, so we decided to go out to dinner with friends. At home we always have a spiral sliced ham and all the trimmings so I insisted that, wherever we go, they have to be serving ham.

Very traditional. I traditionally mooch off my parents. I am happy with whatever she makes. My siblings bring some food but they live close to my parents. I bring my 2 kids and eat whatever my mom makes. LOL. I help with cleaning and whatever food prep my mother trusts me with. I travel 2 hours to my mother's house and stay for a couple days. My husband takes the weekend off at home with no responsibilities and no kids to watch. He enjoys the break and I enjoy the free meals.

hard boiled eggs and chocolate rabbits!!!

In my family, variety is the spice of life, we very seldom have the same thing year to year. The girls and I talk it over and see what recipes we've seen and what sounds good. This year we will only have one daughter at home and hopefully the weather will be warm enough to cook steak on the grill with potatoes w/onions, broccoli and fruit salad. Jelll-o poke cake for dessert. MMMM!!

For the 2nd time in 52 years I am going out for dinner. First time, I had had shoulder surgery and was unabale to cook---this time, I am still unable to cook, I lost my darling husband 03/14/12---cooking is not on my agenda..really, eating isn't either. I was invited by my daughter's fiance's family and then TOLD I was going..be ready at 12:30!

We will have a traditional ham dinner with the trimmings also. Grilled green beans, deviled eggs, corn on the cob, rolls, and Dutch apple pie.

We are having a cookout. Thanksgiving is the meal that's set in stone around here. Christmas and Easter are flexible.
The only holiday we have a traditional holiday dinner is Thanksgiving. |

DH and I will treat ourselves with steak, mashed spuds and a green salad. Coconut cream pie for dessert. When the family would get together, long ago, we'd have ham and trimmings. Everyones menu's sound very good.
