We went to brunch at Ann Sather--well known Chicago restaurant. I had veggie egg florentine with NO hollandaise, a small portion of potatoes on the side and about 1/2 of one of their famous cinnamon rolls that are the size of a hubcap. Now I am snacking on cherry tomatoes and baby carrots. I LOVE breakfast food but it's hard to track calories.0

I cooked a rosemary lemon garlic lamb roast with oven potato wedges and asparagus. I did it all from scratch, it was totally on the fly and ultra delicious. For dessert we had tres leches cake my bf made

Ok guys I gotta ask. Is lamb the norm for Easter? I was told that it was morbid to eat lamb on Easter but it seems a number of you all have. So... What's the dillio?0

i think ham is more the traditional but we gave up pig a few months ago because we are getting a little pet piglet lol... i never heard labm being morbid but i guess it would make sense from a religious standpoint?? Either way your dinner sounds deeeelllish.0 -

@fishshark thanks
it Twas! Yes I did think from the religious standpoint of Easter and what Lamb means and all of that, it got me wondering.. eat lamb for Easter because blood and body etc or is lamb the ultimate no-no for Easter. Hmm I always thought it was the traditional Easter roast since I would always see it at brunches 0 -

Traditional in our house cause the hubs is Italian. In communion, the wafer represents the body of Christ so not sure why eating the lamb would be sacreligious...........
I have a wonderful recipe for Loin chops from the American heart association so we even manage healthy!0 -

It depends on your background. I grew up eating lamb on Easter and believe it is the more traditional, but ham is certainly common too.
I always have some sort of lamb (did spareribs last night) with potatoes and spring vegetables and a dessert involving rhubarb.0 -
I just heard of the lamb thing this year. We usually eat ham on Easter.0

First, this is informational, not to discuss religion.
It's based on the traditional (well, traditional in Jesus' time) Passover feast of lamb, plus symbolizes Jesus as the new Passover lamb (lamb of God, sacrificial lamb, and of course Easter = Paschal Feast, despite the English term). Don't think that makes eating it a no-no at all, though--it's why it's traditional.

I think the preference for ham is more of a central European/German thing. My family is mostly Irish, English, and Welsh, and we've always done lamb.0 -

Ah jealous! My favorites! I love having this for Mother's Day and my Bday! Enjoy! Happy Easter!
We had spiral ham, asparagus with hollandaise, cauliflower/garlic mash. Kids got to eat mashed potatoes. And I didn't do any bread! We're also going to make some different variations of deviled eggs later.
yumm sounds good.. i love anything with hollandaise.. i love just plain ol hollandaise haha! i love deviled eggs too.. always the best part of easter food! happy easter!
Same! I can drink it!0 -
I thought this was going to be a tame thread, but I'm totally in now! Fun!
We had ham and meatballs (the soulless kind, so we're okay), salad, brussels sprouts with prosciutto, carrots, corn and lots of delish desserts.
