What should I cook for my family on Easter - what's your family's traditional meal?

potatoes peas salad ham

Here's what my family is having: 1. Deviled eggs 2. Prawns with cocktail sauce 3. Baked ham with homemade bbq sauce 4. Baked potato casserole 5. Corn spoonbread 6. Asparagas with prosciutto 7. Fruit ambrosia 8. Hot rolls 9. Hawaiian Wedding Cake and Easter Candy Although it seems like a lot of food, I like to have variety for my family and guests. We have 2 vegetarians coming, so they need to have enough to satisfy them as well. The Hawaiian Wedding Cake was my mom's recipe and is a light and refreshing dessert to celebrate spring. Hawaiian Wedding Cake: 1 package yellow cake mix with pudding, made in a 13X9 inch pan. 1 can crushed pineapple, drained 1 large package Vanilla instant pudding, mixed with half the milk 1 container CoolWhip 1 cup fresh coconut Mix the pineapple with the pudding and spoon on top of the cake. Sprinkle with coconut and cover with Coolwhip. Refrigerate until serving (at least 1 hour).

We always have Ham, Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole, Cheesy potatoes, Chocolate Brownie Trifle, Cut-out cookies, corn, and some kind of beans with stewed tomatoes.

My friend was actually just making fun of me for how much I'm making on Easter but I come from a large italian family and italians like to eat. So we'll start out with appetizers: spinach dip, bruschetta, fried artichoke hearts, an antipasto or fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and prosciutto, roasted peppers, and stuffed mushrooms. Then for the first course it's Escarole Soup (many people refer to this as italian wedding soup, I don't understand why - I've never seen it served at a wedding). The Second course is lasagne (italians have to have their pasta no matter what). For the main course we have a ham as well as a turkey with stuffing. Sides include candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes w/ brown gravy, green beans almondine, peas, corn and asparagus. Then for the salad course, an array of olives and peppers and different pickled vegetables. Finally for dessert; ricotta pie, easter bread, pizzelles, biscotti, and whatever else someone decides to bring over. It's quite an event.

Ham is always loved, but we are having only 5 of us this year, so lamp chops for us, and 2 won't eat pork. I know alot of people love that green bean casserole (personally, I don't like it, but will make a small one, as one son can't have a holiday without it lol) Our sides will be roasted garlic mashed potatoes, brocolli/cauliflower chopped salad, fresh green beans with toasted, slivered almonds, the fresh pea/cheese/ salad that everyone loves, roasted beets with garlic and shallots, homemade challa bread, stuffed eggs, layered greek salad, an assortment of crudite's and 2 wicked desserts. To die for chocolate cherry cake and cheesecake with a berry compote.

Ham, deviled eggs, cheesey scalloped potatoes or hashbrown casserole, asparagus or mint peas, sometimes green bean casserole, mint ice tea (yeah, we're big on mint, lol), carrot cake or dump cake, maybe rhubarb pie. ----- ETA: Haha, I knew it would happen eventually, lol. I finally answered a q from someone who has the same avatar as I do.

we never have the same thing twice for easter dinner, we just wing it........but this year, I'm fixing collard greens with smoked meat, baked chicken, and cornbread dressing.

Well, My family varies on how they do things. One year, we will have a Ham, and all sorts of sides, like backed corn bread, and cheesy potatoes, and then the next year, we will have a breakfast buffet. I think that you can really just have anything with it, but try potluck sides, where everybody brings something to contribute.

a choclate pie yummy. I love choclate pie. baked beans, chips, corn, greenbeans,and what ever you like to eat. my family has a ham and all sorts of things.
