Beerfish Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 When growing up a giant baked glazed ham was always on the menu, mint jelly, scalloped potatoes. My mom made these really simple but delicious desserts called Easter lilies, a kind of a small cake like thing shaped into a lily that was filled with whipped cream. My father made these awesome huge chocolate and sweet filled Easter eggs. What are ya'lls traditions? Do you people have kids and Easter egg hunts and such? What's your menu traditional items?

Popular Post Jet_Engine1 Posted April 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2021 Leg of Lamb, always. Made by my Father, full set of sides, Mashed potatoes, green beans, creamed onions, candied carrots, etc. and the best gravy you'd ever have. All home made from "scratch". With Red Wine and ?. Don't know how the man does it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetPotato Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Pizza Rustica. Some call it Easter Pie. Merely for tradition, plus it is absolutely delicious. Don't really celebrate this anymore because I don't really see why we need two holidays a year centered on candy and zombies, and we prefer Halloween. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Heading to the family farm to do an easter egg hunt and huge extended family meal. It's a pot luck deal, but ham and brisket are the main attractions. My extended family is huge, so it will be quite the extravaganza. My grandma passed away in August. This is out at her farm. Lots of great memories(easter or otherwise) for me as a kid there. Glad my 3 kids get to enjoy it as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De-Jet-Erate/Duane Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 A big ham, venison tenderloin, scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole and Copes dried corn. Will have a full house today. Both boys and their wives, brother and sister in law, mom and my wife. Definitely some wine and cocktails. The last big holiday meal before being a grandfather and then having a baby to cry and scream for the future holiday family gatherings LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Just me, my wife and the kiddos today. I'm going to smoke pork tenderloins. I made my own pickles and pickled onions this week. I may make up some cornbread, and we go all-in on a southern style Easter dinner. Hoping this'll be the last lonely holiday for a while. Come Thanksgiving, and bickering about politics or whatever, I'll be wishing for quiet holidays with just the 4 of us. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
