Easter Meals

[roo1582]

It looks like I'm hosting Easter this year.  Nothing too crazy but the IL's and DH's cousin will be coming over. Now I need to figure out what to make.  I have a general idea but if you celebrate Easter, what do you usually have/make?

I'll prob do a little brunch first so I plan on making a frittata (need to find a good recipe) and some french toast made out of fresh brioche.

Dinner will be a glazed ham. Maybe scalloped potatoes? Thats about as far as I've gotten so far.

We usually have Ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and a salad. Along with snacks and desserts.

I have a really easy cheesy HB recipe.

fill a greased 9x13 pan with HB, I usually get the frozen kind.  When you put it in the pan mix some Parmesan shredded cheese in with it.  Use a container of whipping cream, usually the tall one, and pour it in.  sprinkle just a little more cheese on top.  Bake for about an hour on 375.

I'm hosting brunch I think. Doing egg casserole (have are ally good receive if you want), deviled eggs, a salad & fruit. Hadn't thought about dinner - hopefully someone else will invite us over for that! But I think ham, potatoes, salad, maybe roasted green beans or other veggie with some rolls would be good.

haha yes sorry.  I didn't even realize I shortened it up.  It's hashbrowns.  I consider it more of a cheesy potatoes though and nothing like hashbrowns.

I have a similar potato recipe as bliz1712, but it uses 2 cups shredded swiss cheese. I just sprinkle the top with salt and pepper too before baking. I'll have to try it with the parmesan though, because i LOVE parmesan cheese, and that just sounds good. The swiss cheese does go well with Ham though.

I don't know what our plans for Easter are, we haven't really talked about it, although we probably should and figure out what each family has in mind...
Usually afternoon dinner though consists of Ham, scalloped or other cheesy potato, some sort of veggie bake or just cooked veggies, rolls, and then dessert. MIL always does a big spread and there's usually a few other casseroles to choose from too.

I like the idea of doing the brunch thing though - we've done brunch out to eat before, and it's always nice.

We have lunch at my mom's house. Sandwich fixings, chips, potato salad, fruit and then a cake for dessert. Nothing fancy or expensive.
