Since we are all in the same boat of eating healthy and trying to lose or maintain weight, I am curious as to what everyone is going to be making and/or eating for Easter Dinner this weekend??
I am hosting dinner for my family and making a large ham, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts and cheesy bisquits. For dessert I am making 2 ingredient lemon bars, mini chocolate peanut butter cups, and a fruit platter.

For Easter I'm preparing:
Spiral ham and fried chicken
Fried perch and talapia (I have a dtr who only eats "fish)
Collards
Mac & cheese
Candied yams
"Angel eggs"
Yeast rolls
Desserts (prepared by my adult dtrs)
Now, what is JAKI going to eat? I will most likely sample all of that (well whatever fits on my saucer); I plan to enjoy Easter Dinner but eat in MODERATION0 -
Doing Easter Dinner potluck style with some friends Saturday night, so far our menu is:
Ham
baked chicken
Cheesy Potatoes
Salad
fresh dinner rolls
strawberry cheesecake fluff
more to be added, once we get the menu figured out...
and lots of wine0 -
We don't normally do a big Easter dinner...my mom's coming for the weekend and my aunt and uncle might come by...
We're gonna grill burger's, I got some of those thin buns and tomoatoes, onions and lettuce
we talked about potato salad...I'm gonna look for a healthy-ish way to make it (I hate mayonnaise anyway)
Maybe a fruit salad or something0 -
We don't do a special dinner for Easter - is this an American tradition? I've never heard of having any special dinner at this time of year - tends to be the standard Sunday Lunch ...with more relatives.0

Ham, baked potatoes, loads of veggies. We'll skip the scalloped potatoes and rolls this year...too carp heavy!0

knew I shouldn't have looked at this now I'm hungry!!0
-
Ham, Squash, Veggies and Devil Eggs, And APPLE PIE maybe rolls0
-
A stack of pancakes
Finished with waffles and salted caramel ice cream0 -
I'm in charge of deviled eggs.
Half regular
Half spicy for my dad (I add hot sauce and habanero pepper, garnish with thin slice of the pepper)
My parents will probably have a healthy meal because we're all health conscious. I dread to think of what the in-laws will be serving. Probably things dripping in butter, oil, and coated with salt... :sick: I think I'll sneak a zone perfect bar in my purse...:ohwell:0 -
We did ham dinner last weekend so I'm thinking about roasting a chicken or turkey breast with stuffing, potatoes and butternut squash. Yum!0

Smoking a bone in ham
Garlic mashed potatoes
Baked sweet potatoes
Green beans w/onion&bacon
Mini corn-on-the-cobs
Some kind of bread0 -
We're at a beer festival so Easter Sunday will most likely be an 'over' day. I doubt I'll be cooking an Easter dinner when I get home either. lol0

I've been going round and round in my head about this one. We usually do ham and cheesy hashbrown casserole.
But I am thinking of switching it up completely.
Maybe kabobs on the grill with a ton of veggies and lean meats. I don't know though. I want it to be nice, I want everyone to enjoy it and not feel like I am limiting them because I need to get healthy, but not feel like I am having to portion out tiny amounts of the regular stuff. I am doing all the cooking, and my husband says he doesn't care what I do. But, I want the kids to learn to love food that is good for you, and this seems like one of those moments that I could help that, if I do it right.0 -
