Hoppy Easter, Serious Eaters...
An oldie but goodie about what it's like to be a chocolate bunny...
Have a fun day!
the next 3 days suck....Easter Help PLEASE!
I work 35 or so hours between Friday at 10am and Sunday at 2pm. The word of the weekend is EXHAUSTED. Here's what I have so far...just 4 of us with the usual stragglers to follow suit.
turkey, brined
screw stuffing...Im not interested.
mashed/gravy
sweet potatoes with cinnamon honey butter, brought home from my job
asparagus with lemon and toasted sesame seeds
honey oat bread, also brought home from work
deviled eggs
I need a dessert...no rolling of pastry or beating of egg whites, please. I am in the mood for lemony berry-iey somethingy, even though it is 9 degrees. The fools I co-habitate with are in the chocolate camp and since I dont see them doing squat to prepare for dinner, I want what I want.
Apps? Nothing life altering but the rules are no seafood, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers or mayo.
Make my Easter dinner satisfying and non-dramatic, please?
Have a safe and happy holiday filled with love, family, Jesus (if thats what your into) and copious amounts of amazingly Serious Eats!
Easter Dinner
My family has never really been big on Easter dinner, but this year I'm feeling festive. I usually hate spring and summer here in L.A., but spring has hit so earlier I feel myself warming up to it. It's beautiful here lately! Anyhow, I'd like to make my parents their first, official Easter dinner. I've seen a lot of posts recently that were Easter related, so I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. I can find recipes fine on my own, I'm just look for food suggestions from all of you. What does the classic Easter dinner entail? What combination of dishes can comfortably be made by just one cook under a budget?
Dying easter eggs
All my little sous chefs are home on spring break and I desperately need something to keep them occupied for a couple hours. I'm thinking about trying something different with dying easter eggs, but since I'm not the crafty type, I need help! Any ideas or suggestions?
Irish soda bread recipes
Not my thing, but I've been commisioned to bake Irish soda bread for St. Paddy's day and Easter. All I have is mom's recipe, which is sooo dry. Advice?
What are your plans for Easter?
I don't have any planned so far, so I'm looking for inspiration.
Are you making brunch, lunch, or dinner as the main meal?
What's cooking - Lamb, Ham, or something completely different?
Does anyone bake Hot Cross Buns?
The seasonal sweet, current & citron studded hot cross bun is said to traditionally eaten on Good Friday. Joy of Baking cites a superstition that if hot cross buns were baked on Good Friday, they would never become moldy & one bun would be saved as a good luck charm until the next year's bun was baked. I usually manage to eat one when available locally. Being a chronic yeast-dough challenged baker, never attempted my own. Anyone make these sweetly spiced, dried fruit buns? Any local bakeries feature them around Easter?
As`a kid, my favorite Easter candy was ____
If you were given a candy filled Easter basket as a child, what were your favorites? Chocolate eggs, jelly beans, those colored confection eggs (yuck), marshmallow choc. covered eggs, peanut butter filled....Least favorite? Did you go around the yard or house for an Easter Egg hunt for both real & candy eggs? Plastic eggs that are filled with candy or $ are kinda fun, too! Fancy-pants chocolate or cheapo, which candy would you like to find in an Easter basket this year?
Leg O Lamb
For the first time is several years, I will be home in my own kitchen at Easter. I'm already getting excited about the prospect of preparing my one and only leg of lamb for the year. It's been a long time so I'm looking for help (reipes to choose from) and maybe new ways to prepare the shank half of a previously frozen leg. What would you be serving to accompany it and how would you prepare them? This is one meal I love but have very limited knowledge in the "science" of getting it right. Thanks in advance...
My MIL gave me Easter this year! Help!
To make up for taking Thanksgiving from me last year, my MIL gave me Easter this year. I've never cooked Easter dinner before. My in-laws always have baked ham, which I'm a little sick of. I'd like to do lamb, but my husband (=slightly picky eater) isn't sure he'll like it. I offered to do a test run first & if he hates it, then I have time to come up with something else (like ham). I was thinking of roasting the lamb with roasted new potatoes, but I'm not sure what else to serve. Any ideas?
What's for dinner on Easter? Are you cooking?
I'm having a small group over for dinner. It's turning into a full day affair with the Buffalo Sabres hockey game @ 1...so we'll be eating snacks earlier in the day (including Buffalo Wing Dip of course) & then dinner later. I'm making the traditional ham....but still undecided on the sides. What's going on in your house Sunday?
