    It is going to be a "cheat" meal day for me so I am being good all week and working extra hard to earn it.

    Honey baked ham & turkey breast, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, rolls, veggie tray, pineapple upside down cake from scratch and a sugar free banana cream pie poke cake.

    @Sugarbeat, thanks so much for the low carb ideas! I've been dreading that trip to the in-laws where typically stuff my face with unhealthy foods every year. This year I'll jazz up some zoodles and bake a cheesy (lite/low fat) cauliflower dish! Everyone in my family could use some healthier options, so I'm happy to provide that while also giving myself a way to enjoy the meal without as much guilt. Have a happy Easter, everyone!

    Pierogies - 120 of them made by hand for Orthodox Easter. It's going to be a long day.

    We're having ham, deviled eggs, a garden salad, cherry pie and a carrot cake. We kind of keep it simple. We're having carrot cake because they all wanted cherry pie but since I'm the cook I'm making the dessert I want. ;)

    You're welcome. I have a couple people coming that need to eat low carb for health reasons but probably won't. I'm hoping if I have some interesting and colorful options they'll at least eat a little low carb. Probably right before they eat the fudge they bring with them, but whatever floats their boat in the end.

    We are going to the in-laws for dinner. They have the same foods for every holiday meal. It's always an old school Thanksgiving type meal. Occasionally there will be ham too. They never mix it up.

    I'm in the middle of a cut and not experiencing the weight loss I expected, so I won't be splurging for Easter this year. If I wasn't doing a strict cut or if it was a holiday that we typically go all out for (like Thanksgiving or Christmas), I'd eat whatever I wanted without logging, but Easter isn't a big thing for my husband and my families, so it's not a problem to go light.

    I've already prelogged my day. Protein pancakes for breakfast, Easter lunch (5 oz ham, 3 whole deviled eggs, a dinner roll, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, and 1 cup broccoli), chili with a few Ritz crackers for dinner, and a protein shake. I also managed to work in one Reese egg, which I'm pretty excited about. The only two things I won't be eating that I'll want to eat is potato salad and banana pudding, but I'm not willing to take out any of my other food for the day to make room for those.

    Tentative Totals: 1691 calories (164c/55f/145p) << Pretty nice macros right there.
