Easter Dinner - not the usual

Wow you're making me hungry whit..... What a deal and a great dinner. We don't do Easter in our house. We opt for Seder in a couple of weeks. It will be very traditional.

I would say that ours is nontraditional.. however traditional for everyone else. We usually never have ham for Easter dinner. We have pork roast or corned beef, lamb.. something like that. This time we're having ham. Growing up, I can't remember ever having a ham for Easter!

It was just Bruce and I for Easter dinner. The neighbors brought over ham, macaroni salad, and an Easter Egg for us. For supper we had ribs and asparagas. It was light and easy. I had cooked the ribs earlier in the week, when the flu bug had *just* hit, so we had leftovers. Sounds like your Easter dinner was lovely, traditional or not.

Man alive did you ever get a bargain my friend. Good for you. I cooked a ham. It was Ok and the meal was good but my daughter and her family were away and I really had that empty nest syndrome. Getting to be a big suck in my old age. hehehehe

We had ham with a honey glaze, parsley potatoes, baked cheesy grits, steamed asparagus, and rolls. We also had a salad with strawberries, mandarin oranges, chopped pecans, and spinach with a strawberry vinaigrette that I made. Dessert was black raspberry pie, creamy blueberry pie, and carrot cake.

wow, that's a great deal! we didn't eat easter dinner...we had brunch with my mother in law (boy was that a disaster) and then we came home & just hung around...i had some of my mom's easter bread she made on friday, that's very good!

We had a traditional ham dinner, but only because it was a family meal with my husband's side of the family. I never ate ham for easter until I married into this family. I think that whatever your family is happy with is great. If you can find filet mignon at a price like that, that's a celebration in itself! Glad it turned out well!! If it had been just me and my husband and our son, who knows what we would have eaten. I think it's all about being with the folks you love and who cares what's on the menu as long as it's tasty!

nope I had to eat hospital food. as that is where I spent Easter not a fun place

ours was semi traditional, almost wasn't at the price of ham this year. great buy on the mignon! I would have gone with it as well. we had ham with brown sugar glaze (spiral cut) brussel sprouts, yellow and white corn, baking powder biscuits, red skinned potatoes both some that were mashed and some that were roasted. for desert we ended up doing a kraft foods recipe of angel food cake with pineapple/pudding/cool whip filling topped with strawberries.

I usually cook a ham and the trimmings like you, but today I had 11 kids. I called my sister and said how about we do an egg hunt and hot dogs, she said we can do it at my house, so that is what we did. The kids all had a blast, and there wasn't near the stress and clean up. I say hey, looking forward to next year!

It was just me, my husband and our little daughter for Easter this year. We had pizza and cheesy bread from Dominos. I didn't feel like making a big fancy meal for the three of us so my husband suggested pizza. It worked out well.

For Easter dinner we had fish and chips, that I made at home, not the traditional Easter dinner for either of us, although my husband's family doesn't really do Easter dinner. He's Spanish, and in Spain because Easter is a longer holiday, lots of people go on vacation, and it's not typical to have large family gatherings as much anymore. My family typically has some sort of roasted beast, turkey, ham, lamb.....something to that effect, and my favorite Easter specialty is from my father's Italian family recipes. It's called Easter pizza, and it's homemade bread stuffed with cheese, raisins and ham. It's quite good. It's rather ironic that we had fish and chips to break the lentin fast on Easter, when most Catholics have been eating fish for so long that they would eat anything but. We didn't observe Lent though, and we hadn't had fish in a while, so it was a nice change

we only had fish and salad on good friday,but beside that we had very non traditional meals.i love when you are at the supermarket and they mark down the meat,thats usually when i buy most of mine,i usually follow the person marking down the meat,like a little groupie and i must say i save myself a bundle.happy easter cheers sue
