Dinner Menu

We usually have a ham but this year I am making prime rib and all the fixings that go along with that.

My tradition is the easter candy daughter and I have made every year since she was a baby. We've got to get on the stick and get it done this year!!

Easter is the only Holiday that isn't etched in stone where everyone's going. It varies every year. So this year I'm only having two additional adults in addition to us and the kids.

Since it's such a small crowd, I'm thinking surf and turf on the grill. Lobster tails and filet mignon.

In the past I've done standing rib roast (well sort of a LEANING rib roast, tehehe), ham, lasagna, puttanesca with halibut. Last year I did what your planning, lots of very different kind of unrelated things, buffet style. I only remember what I did last year by asking O. of my sisters, I always forget. O. year I bought a couple electric woks and did a Chinese style 'Hot Pot', that was AWESOME!

Oh and fondue cuz a few years ago I dropped $200 on a gorgeous AllClad Fondue set kills me that it collects dust in the pantry.

How 'bout adding a soup in the crock pot?

:)

I have a give away (candy bagggie) for the kids to take. Your menu sounds complete.

Matzo Ball soup, smoked salmon and white fish, antipasto, brisket, roasted lamb, latkes and chocolate dipped macaroons are on our menu, and no, we aren't Jewish. We always serve lamb every year, but everything else is new on the menu this year.

Noodles with ham broth... yum - drooling now as I think of it!

First I think you have way too many carbs. Buns, cheesy potatoes, pasta
and either macaroni or potato salad. I would add two vegetables and
keep the cheesy potatoes. So the menu would be green salad, dinner rolls,
ham, potatoes and two vegies. Simple but good!!!

we do Ham, potato salad, green beans, mac and cheese, rolls, salad, pea salad, deviled eggs, some kind of fruit salad and then of course about 5 desserts lol last year tho my sister got married and her husband is a chef and he did a brisket and bacon wrapped asparasus which was amazing im hoping that becomes a every year thing to add in.. We always have about 10-12 people at my moms house and everybody is in charge of making O. of the items so its not all on my mom to do it. Shes just in charge of the ham and her awesome cherry cheesecake mmmmm hurry up easter im starving !!!!!!!!

Easter is always a spiral cut ham :)
7 layer salad - yum!!
green bean casserole
fruit tray
and a potato dish (found a great recipe on plainchicken.com that I am going to try called "crack potatoes" that look delightful!! So I am going to be making those this year... http://www.plainchicken.com/2011/01/crack-potatoes.html ).
sugar cookies the kids have made and decorated

Almost the same as you except for the sides.

We always have a spiral cut ham, fresh green beans, broccoli w/cheese sauce (it's my kids' favorite) and baked potato!

lasagna and ham.. and my mom always makes some kind of antipasto and usually has a tray of cheese, pepperoni, olives, stuff like that .. other than that with dinner its usually just rolls salad .. i think last year she may have made some kind of potatos
