    Stuffed Shells, Green beans, garlic bread and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Totally not traditional, but I don't like meat.

    Usually go to my parents, but my son is working all day so I'm cooking dinner for us.

    Happy Easter everyone!

    Traditional roast lamb. Because I've had to work in Easter breakfast at church and part of my Easter egg, I ate about 250 cals worth of dinner, and the rest of my allowance today is saved to continue with the chocolate!

    I usually spend the holidays at my brother's and SIL, but since no one called, I guess they won't be hosting dinner. So I baked flounder in salsa with garlic mashed potatoes, a vegetable medley of carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, with pineapple chunks for dessert. I really don't like ham, so this meal was perfect.

    Slow cooker chicken, corn bread muffins (for portion control purposes), green bean casserole (I personally won't be having any), and steamed broccoli (my subsitute for the casserole).

    Yippee! I'm determined to stay on the right path today...holiday or not! :smile:

    I have a local farm near me that raises their own pigs. They just slaughtered in February so I bought one of their hams. Can't wait to try it. Can't say as I have ever had ham that is going to be that fresh and is not loaded with salt. I am going to baste it with a peach/maple syrup combination. Should be tasty!

    Went to our local goat farm and picked up some goat cheese that was made yesterday. Having that on spinach salad w/pecans and a little vinagarette dressing I will whip up.

    Lot's of side veggies....asparagus, green beans, brussel sprouts. Will par boil them altogether and then roast with a little EVOO for about 10 minutes on 400*.

    Final stop today was my local orchard. Got fresh apple cidar and cheddar rosemary rolls. Bought apple dumplings (like an apple pie but individual and totally wrapped in crust) and lemon bars for dessert for everyone. Her baked goods are too hard to pass up and much easier than making them myself for this occasion.

    Of course all this occurs after church. I love Easter service!

    What time should I be there? :)

    My family is grilling out--so my meal will be a turkey burger (no bread), veggie skewers and salad. (Not sure what else is being made). I'm happy my family is supporting me and willing to cook the healthier alternative for me!
