It is finally warm here and the trees are budding! With the sunshine, I'm ready to work in our small raised vegetable garden, freshen up the flower beds and do a little spring cleaning. This Easter our daughter will be confirmed in our church and we'll have Easter dinner at our house.
Here's what's on the menu:
I've never heard of this and I've lived in the south most all my life. It has lots of food I love: cornbread, beans, bell peppers, corn, cheese, ranch dressing and bacon. It's got to be AWESOME.
Another salad we'll be having is Pioneer Woman's Pea Salad:
This dish reminds me of church potluck dinners, family Thanksgivings and just says love to me. Can't wait.
And of course, there will be ham. I usually cook mine in the crockpot while we're at church and it's ready to go when we get home. This brown sugar & mustard glaze is wonderful and the coca-cola gives it a bit of sweet while keeping the meat moist in the pot. There will be a plate of fresh raw veggies and maybe this dip.
All of these recipes are make ahead which makes Easter lunch a lot less stressful. I still haven't worked out dessert, yet. I made this last year:
I still have dreams about it. I cannot explain how delicious it is. However, we are celebrating my daughter's confirmation AND her birthday, and since she is an avowed chocaholic, I believe that's the direction dessert will have to go in. I'm still working on that and when I choose, I'll post pics and the recipe here.
So, what are you having for Easter dinner?
