What do you typically eat for Easter lunch/dinner? I just found out the inlaws will be here and I will be cooking #-o

Re: Easter Meal?

  • We have pot luck. It is really all the same things from thanksgiving.... Christmas.... It hardly ever changes

  • We typically have ham, some sort of potato, and various salads. This year I'm hosting, though, and we're having hamburgers. :D

  • We always have a chicken and broccoli dish that my grandma used to make (my sister makes it now) with rolls and fruit salad. The ILs do ham, prime rib, potatoes, and potluck sides.

  • Ham, scalloped potatoes, peas and asparagus. Some type of spring time dessert.

    ILs usually have ham and kielbasa, a cheesy potato dish, salad, some other veggie, bread, Jello eggs, and deviled eggs. I volunteered to make something, since MIL is hosting the big get-together, but I don't know what she's going to ask me to do yet....

    My family usually makes roast lamb, a potato dish (a common one is red potatoes with butter and dill), asparagus, and some kind of bread.

    Good luck w/ the cooking/hosting!

  • I'm doing ham or lamb, PW's creamy herbed potatoes, roasted asparagus and sour cream biscuits probably.
  • How would your inlaws feel about burgers and dogs on the grill? That's what we're having. Oh, and deviled eggs of course.

    I am seriously considering this. It would be tons less work for me and easy.

    Dooooo it! You have the "I have a newborn and this is borderline last minute" excuse :)

  • We are going out for brunch after church. 


  • I usually do the traditional ham, au gratin potatoes, and asparagus. Haven't even thought about this year yet though.

  • Kielbasa, ham, beets, horseradish, sauerkraut, hard boiled eggs, paska, farmer's cheese, butter.  Most of it has been taken to church and blessed the day before.  It's super traditional, but I actually love it.  I'm always dying for some veggies later though.
  • We grill burgers every year! It's relaxing to grill out and let the kids hunt eggs and play!
    Plus you have a newborn! I would definitely cook whatever is easiest for you.
  • We usually do lamb, either mashed or scalloped potatoes, a green veg (it's almost always green beans, don't know why), and salad.  Sometimes there are rolls, depends if I feel like making them/thought to buy them at the store that week.  

    But, seriously, I'd just do burgers and dogs on the grill since it's kinda last minute and you have a newborn.

  • I'm planning to make some Korean food for Easter. Weird, I know!! But only my brother, his fiancé and my ILs are coming and they're way excited - haha! I'm gonna make short ribs, fried rice, kim chee (gonna actually buy this because I don't like to make it), and egg rolls. Yumm!!

  • It is usually pot luck--but this year I think it is ham, turkey breast, stuffed shells, vegetable and crescent rolls.

    With a newborn! I would completely do the burgers and dogs mentioned above. Pffftt. Sounds wonderful to me, I don't necessarily see the need for a "formal" Easter dinner or anything when you likely have a lot on your plate.  And when is BBQ not good?  I'd eat BBQ any day of the year. You could do that with a bunch of sides- perfect.

    My mom is hosting this year and we're doing ham with all the sides. And some lemon cake for dessert, I think.

  • We go to my parents for a large brunch and my in laws for dinner. We do ham and turkey, potatoes, and green vegetables. Pretty basic.

    I would do a honey baked ham as well if I were you-super easy. Is anybody bringing anything?

  • We will be camping that weekend and are coming home in the early afternoon. ILs are coming over at 5... I'm ordering a meal from my local grocery store. :)
