Easter Dinner
Just read the post below about Easter dinner. I have a question I am almost embarrassed to ask - does anyone know an easy way to get the rind off the ham?
Need help with Easter dinner.
I am doing Easter at my house for the first time, as I am the only one with kids in my family. I am looking for something to do that is sort of traditional, but fun. My family does not like lamb, but all else if fair game. I would love any ideas to help me plan for my first real holiday feast!!! Thanks and hope you all have a great holiday!

What's on your Easter dinner menu?
 What's your favorite dish?
easter dinner - pineapple casserole
2 eggs
1/2 c sugar
3 T. flour
1 can Dole crushed pineapple with juice
1 stick butter, melted
6 slices bread cut into small cubes
Mix eggs, sugar and flour together, add can of pineapple with juice. Pour into (spray PAM) casserole dish. Mix together bread cubes and melted butter and put overtop. Bake 350 for 60 minutes. If bread is becoming too brown, put foil over it toward the end of the baking time.
Enjoy. I've made this every Easter and it's a hit. ---susan
Lookin' for a savory dinner-in-a-pumpkin recipe or a sweet one like the other one

Easter
Why do Easter baskets have to be candy? I got my niece and nephew both baskets, with a chocolate bunny and then little things such as a 10 piece puzzle, jacks, bubbles,a paddle ball, a movie little things that they could play with today and more than likely be gone tomorrow, they seem to enjoy those things more than candy anyway. I have a birthday near a holiday and it is not a great feeling to a child to have to "skip" a holiday because her birthday is near, just my opinion.
hot potato
The reason you have to slice them in half before you wrap the whole potato to cook it is because it is too hot to eat even hours later. By being already cut in half, no one burns their fingers and the potato instantly cools off once it is opened. You do not need to put them back in an oven once they come out.
Need help regarding Potato salad?...sm
I have a problem. When my children were young they never liked potato salad. They always asked if I would make macaroni salad all the time with holiday meals. Today my son who is a teenager asked me if I would make potato salad to go with the turkey and all the other holiday goodies. He said he does like potato salad now. I have no clue how to make this as I have never made it. Any recipes/help would be so greatly appreciated. 
Potato casserole
This is my funeral potatoes recipe which does contain cheese, but I see no reason why you can't adjust a recipe to your preference. I do it all the time when recipes have ingredients that I don't like. I'm thinking you could replace the cheese with cream of mushroom soup or cream of potato soup. Go for it. Don't be afraid to make a recipe your own!
* 6 medium potatoes, boiled
* 1 pint sour cream
* 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
* 1 bunch green onions, chopped
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper
* 2 tablespoons milk
Easter Plans
Going to my parents an hour away as usual. We're having pork roast and all the trimmings. Unfortunately, a sad time too. My aunt passed away this past week and my cousins are bringing her back for burial the day after Easter.
Easter is a really special time too. sm
daughters are a special blessing.
She wasn't going to do Easter for the girls, so they did. sm
It's ok. Every kid, even at that age, regarding you IMHO, deserves a great Easter basket. Get over it and stay out of it.
It is a Easter basket. She deserves one.

I am really glad the got her an Easter basket. sm
why in the world should she have to defer to her birthday? It is a totally different thing.
I got an Easter basket up to 16 or so, loved it - sm
yes, I know it was from my parents, but it was still fun every year. My mom knew Easter was my favorite holiday and didn't begrudge me a basket because I was too old. I'd ask her next time if she would still like to get a basket or not, I think her mom would be surprised by the answer. As for the teeth, as long as she brushes properly cavities should not be an issue. If she has not yet had enamal painted on her back teeth your daughter should talk to the dentist. They now paint the back teeth with an enamal, cure it with UV light and it seals the back teeth from getting cavities. Costs me aboutr $34 a tooth but worth every penny. I've paid about $225 between my 2 to have it done. Think its a wonderful idea. My 1 has had 3 cavities (she's 8) but 2 were on baby teeth; the other one has none (7). --As for the competition that is hard to quash, my DH does it to me and we are married. He wants the kids to "like" him. It is a pain in the butt and I deal with it the best I can but I don't overly worry about it. I have good kids who listen to me and that is what counts.
sweet potato casserole...sm
You can mince or grind down the pecans rather than chop 'em if you think that'll work for your guests.  Cat...
Sweet Potato Casserole II
SUBMITTED BY: Suzanne Cook PHOTO BY: Anderswin
"Fluffy sweet potatoes mixed with butter, sugar, and vanilla, and baked with a crunchy pecan streusel topping. This recipe was given to me by my brother-in-law."
INGREDIENTS
- 4 1/2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together mashed sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup butter, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Spread sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and flour. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture is crumbly, then stir in pecans. Sprinkle pecan mixture over the sweet potatoes.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
Ohh - PRETTY!!!! Don't think the Easter bunny
will put one of those in my basket this year though! :(
Yikes. It seems so soon. And I do not like it when Easter is in March.
Too chilly for the Easter dresses and no spring flowers out yet. Not a springy Easter Bunny feeling Here in Northern New Jersey just had 4 more inches added Friday from our previous 8, which had melted away and now the white stuff back on the ground. Probably will snow on Easter, although going to be in the mid 50s today. One can only hope.
HAPPY EASTER-BUNNY!!
Much hope, happiness, and jelly beans! Makes my world!
Easter. The pool or the beach?

Just like a potato chip, can't pick just one!
300, Forest Gump, Bram Stokers Dracula, 50 First Dates.
Those are probably my top ones that I never get sick of watching. I have a pretty huge movie collection and pretty much only buy ones that I really love though. I'm a fan of most all types of movies.
You should change your name to Couch Potato
hehe
I like Grey's Anatomy too but never can remember when it comes on to record it. I have also seen commercials for Swingtown and that looks good but I can barely keep up with the little I record now. I hesitate to add to it. :)
Bake like a regular potato
They are good if you make them just like a regular baked potato too and just add butter, salt, and pepper. My husband also grilled them in foil this summer with butter and just a touch of brown sugar and they were great. I do not like the canned, fresh are MUCH better and less sweet from the start. I also saw a recipe for sweet potato chips in the oven. I haven't tried it yet and can't remember where I found the recipe but I'm sure you can Google it.
Bakes potato soup
I like to make baked potato soup. Bake 3 large potatoes or 4-5 small ones. Cut them in half, cool slightly, then scoop out the middle. While they are baking I takes some time to heat up some chicken stock with a bay leaf, garlic, black pepper, a little time. Sometimes I use boulion (sp?) if I don't have stock. Add potatoes to this. Heat to boil. Puree if you want or leave chunky. Add milk and cornstarch if you like it thicker or sometimes I use potato buds to thicken it. The amount of milk/chicken stock, etc. depends on how much fat you want. I used to use almost full milk or heavy cream but not any more. I just use enough to make it creamy now. Put in bowls and top with cheddar cheese and bacon. Sour cream doesn't work well. Really easy and quick (can "bake" the potatoes in the microwave if you want). I find that kids love it if you call it cheese and bacon soup. lol Usually for the bacon, I don't cook a new package but instead when I cook bacon for breakfast, etc. I save 2 or 3 pieces in the freezer each time. Then when I want some for soup, green beans, or salads it is available.
I like potato salad with sweet pickles in it. sm
That's how my mom and grandma always made it, so I grew up eating it that way. But the very thought of sweet pickles makes my hubby ill, so dill pickles it is for us. 
Happy Easter and Peep surgery
Happy Easter to everyone. Hope you enjoy reading about this surgery rather than transcribing it!
Potato salad, baked beans.

Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
French toast using texas test bar-b-que bread. Yummy. Potato casserole is sm
the best, too!
southern style potatoes frozen (ore-ida)
1 can cream of chicken soap
8 ounces sour cream
1 stick butter
1 package mild cheddar cheest
mix all ingredients and bake for 45 minutes

Dinner Out
Usually once or twice a week with friends and/or the children.
What's for dinner??
Dinner
London broil on the grill with fried potatoes and onions and corn on the cob.
Dinner
I'm cooking up a pot of vegetable stew with Italian sausage. We top it with pesto and parm. I'm making cheddar buns to go along.
Dinner
Grilled cheese and turkey sandwich with a ceasar salad.
Probably just dinner
Either by ourselves or with our best friends, maybe rent a movie.
First dinner
I don't remember the first dinner I prepared for my then boyfriend, now husband...but I do remember the first dinner he ate at my house. It was butter beans, meatloaf, and fried potatos and cornbread! I was mortified when my mom asked him to stay then proceeded to give him the menu for the night. Well, to my disbelief, he absolutely loved butter beans...this was his favorite meal. I about died, being a 16 YO girl, but he loved it!
dinner
I'm making up a big pot of BBQ. You can usually get a pork loin on sale anywhere. I throw it in the slow cooker, cover it with water, and cook it for 24 hours. After that, I dump the water, pick out the fat, and shred the pork. I like to use sweet baby ray's original BBQ sauce.
This is inexpensive if you buy the pork loin on sale. I'm making some for a party tomorrow.
Usually 3-4 pounds of pork feeds 3 of us for about 3 days, unless one of us is really hungry. lol
Dinner
I will either have leftover vegetarian chili with cornbread, or leftover penne with cheese. I always cook enough to have leftovers because I hate cooking, especially everyday. The kids (13 and 20 year old girls) will probably have fast food. My 13 year old is a vegetarian like me so she will probably get cheese pizza or a veggie patty sandwich at Subway. My oldest with probably have McDonald's.
What's for dinner? Looking for inspiration.
:x
What is or was for dinner? I'm hungry & want to fix something
What's for dinner tonight?
Sunday dinner
Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food. They'll come in and help with prep first. We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.
They've been cooking since about the age of 5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook. Cat
Should I serve something before dinner?
Ok group, it is now getting to be that time again when I have to start thinking of the big dinner spread I am planning to have. I will have ham and turkey with all the trimmings but my question is this - should I have appetizers when the guests arrive, some kind of drinks, wine/champagne or just what? I can put on a good dinner when it comes to the food and all but just wondering what to do prior to the dinner. Thanks so much!
Looking for dinner ideas
We're having dinner guests on October 14, our friends, their 18-year-old son and his friend (who I've been told has a very hearty appetite). It may be too cold to cook out on the grill by then. I'm definitely not a gourmet cook, and I cringe at the thought of having dinner guests because I always wonder what would be good to make. Lasagna is one of my favorites, but my 13-year-old daughter doesn't like it. Would anyone care to share any ideas and/or recipes with me? I know one of guests does not like onions.
dinner ideas
I don't know. I was kinda' thinking of broiling (or grilling if the weather permits) country style pork ribs.
