Maybe an Easter Dinner Instead?

Easter Dinner ham

We’ve covered the Easter brunch option. But what if you and your family are more accustomed to the sit-down dinner for Easter?

Of course you can still serve a spiral ham. I always do no matter what time it is.

But there are so many more choices to be the star of this show.

If beef is what you’re craving, you can do a standing rib roast or even a prime rib roast. So juicy and delicious!

A Chateaubriand is also very elegant as an Easter dinner. After all, it’s French!

Add twice baked potatoes, a veggie, bread and a carrot cake for dessert and you’re set!

So what are your Easter dinner go-tos?

Easter Brunch Ideas

Easter Brunch Ideas

Are you a brunch person? Will you be serving a brunch this Easter?

We all know brunch is a breakfast/lunch hybrid that’s served usually mid-morning to around 2 pm. But what you serve is entirely up to you!

One thing that MUST be on my Easter brunch table is a spiral sliced ham. No question.

Spiral ham is just so agreeable. It fits in nicely as a breakfast option but serves just as well at lunch or dinnertime. Thanks, ham!

If its brunch time I always set out lots of fruit – blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, sliced bananas, apples, melons, you name it!

Not only is fruit light and a wonderful accompaniment, it’s just so colorful and pleasing to the eye!

A quiche is a great option to serve alongside your ham as well. We like egg, cheese and bacon in ours, but have fun experimenting with recipes you like.

If you go the brunch route, what will you be serving at your special Easter brunch?

Thinking About That Easter Ham?

Spiral Sliced Easter Ham

I know it’s crazy to think about, but Easter is not that far away, my friends. And if you’re like me and you CANNOT go without an Easter ham it’s time to start thinking about ordering one. Or two.

A spiral sliced ham is a must have for my family. Pretty much at any holiday – but Easter especially.

Just thinking about that spiral ham goodness puts my people in a good mood for about a week leading up to the big spread. And that’s a nice bonus!

And those leftovers are actually something we look forward to. How many leftovers can you say that about?

Ham sandwiches are a given, but it’s the breakfast omelettes with diced ham and fried ham and eggs that make these leftovers something special.

This one ingredient just keeps reinventing itself meal after meal. And no one gets tired of it.

So there you have it. An Easter ham is not just a one-meal flash in the pan for me. It’s the dish that keeps on giving.

Tell me, will you do an Easter ham this year?
