Every year Easter weekend looks different for us. In recent years we’ve had some variety-traveled to visit family, shared a meal with church friends who graciously invited us into their home, hosted our own extended family gathering, or kept it simple with just our group of five.
I rarely dye eggs. My interest level in that is a 0.5 at best. I may plan our spring outfits in advance, or, more likely, survey closets the day before and wonder if I can pull off a new, fresh spring look with whatever we have and minimal effort. I love Resurrection Sunday and all it represents; I’m ambivalent about everything else. {Or lazy. You could also say that.}
I do care about FELLOWSHIP and FOOD, and this year I get to host a smallish family dinner, which is perfect.
Here is our menu:
- Spiral ham (thank you Aldi’s!!)
- Sweet potato casserole
- Green beans
- Tossed salad
- Rolls
- Strawberry jello fruit salad
- Deviled eggs
- Olive oil pound cake
- French yogurt cake
- 7 -layer bars
I won’t be the only one preparing food-my mom and sister chose their own dishes to contribute. {Menu mashups are the best!!} Those not actually cooking are enlisted to help with prep (scrubbing sweet potatoes, cleaning, whatever needs to be done) and dishes afterwards. None shall escape; it’s an ideal arrangement.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Do you have any Easter traditions, for dinner or otherwise? I’d love to hear!
