Beerfish 37,278 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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?

JetPotato 4,206 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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 post Share on other sites

HawkeyeJet 12,251 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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 post Share on other sites

Both boys and their wives, brother and sister in law, mom and my wife. Definitely some wine and cocktails.

Integrity28 76,871 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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 post Share on other sites
