This is my first time hosting an Easter dinner. Although I quickly agreed to do it because I love an excuse to cook, I panicked shortly after confirming with family that Easter would be at our house. I wasn’t sure what to serve besides the traditional ham, potatoes and challah.
It took me a few minutes of trolling the internet to find a list of sides that I thought I could pull off with Elly’s help or hinderance depending on her mood.
deviled eggs
strawberry spinach salad
ham glazed with molasses, apple jelly and tart cranberries
carrots in butter & extra ham glaze
mashed potatoes
corn
challah
carrot cake
meringue cookies
So I’m not pulling my hair out Easter morning, I’ve made a few things in advance, such as the challah and the meringue cookies.
The deviled eggs and carrot cake will get made up tomorrow leaving just the ham, carrots, and potatoes for Sunday morning. I refuse to count the corn, since all I plan to do is heat up a bag of frozen kernels. Elly could handle such a task if only she could reach the microwave.
Wishing you a Happy Easter!
Sounds terrific and the menu is extensive…yum. Have a wonderful day with Ellie getting lots of Easter bunny eggs
It looks delicious, and I’m sure it will turn out great! Hoping you all have a happy Easter! :)
Yum, sounds like everything will be great!
Happy Easter
