Eos Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) What are you eating tomorrow? I've been in quarantine from traveling, today is my day to shop after my negative test. It's looking like ham, roasted sweet potatoes, beet salad, and spicy greens from the freezer.

Kassia Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 No help here. This is our first Easter without any family (it will just be me and DH - no kids) in over 30 years. It feels really strange. 😞 We're just eating our normal everyday food. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We are having scalloped potatoes, oven-roasted asparagus, vegetarian 'ham,' pulled pork, and deviled eggs, with cake and berries for dessert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I’m skipping Easter entirely. Taking my dd to the Met and pretending it’s not a thing. Normally we have a big egg hunt and eat lamb but can’t rouse myself to do anything this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
math teacher Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Dh is working nights, so it will be Ds and I. I am making a Cobb salad today and cooking some more for the freezer, so there will be food to eat. I may make some deviled eggs. I hope to buy a ham today-I put two in my cart yesterday, but they weren't put in my order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrips Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We’re just doing chicken with gravy, mashed potatoes , stuffing, cranberry sauce and Brussels sprouts. Kids had a hand in the menu 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We'll grill steaks like usual, along with some veggie skewers. Salad, rice, rolls. But the big thing for me after being off sweets for Lent and watching all seasons of The Great British Baking Show during that time is a cake. I'm going to make a lemon layer cake. And it will seem so sweet that I'll just eat one piece as will dh and dd and then we'll have 3/4 of a cake in the freezer for awhile! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Dd showed me pictures of the girls at the dorm making little turtles and hedgehogs from brioche dough, so now I've requested dh make some dough and we will make creatures.

catz Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We're doing nothing and my college kid isn't even coming home. Just 3 of us. And I'm still making a little prime rib and a ham lol. I love leftovers. We're also having roasted asparagus, a green salad of some kind, still thinking of that, twice baked potatoes and a lemon tart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 It will be dh & I, ds & gf, gf's dad. My parents, nor in-laws will be here. We're doing burgers on the grill, deviled eggs, baked beans, onion rings, dessert. All super easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 It is just us and the kids, probably the last one with all of us living at home, so I am trying to do something nice. We are having ham, homemade rolls or challah, deviled eggs, roasted asparagus, and lemon cake for dessert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Roasted chicken stuffed with shrimp dressing, cornbread, sweet potatoes, salad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storygirl Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We are staying home this year, but there will still be six of us. I'm making beef tenderloin, roast broccoli and carrots, mashed potatoes, and rolls made from frozen dough. I may saute some mushrooms to eat with the beef. We have half of a (homemade) chocolate chip cheesecake that we took out of the freezer for dessert. I prepared the beef for the oven yesterday, and I may make the potatoes today and reheat them. It should be fairly easy to pull together tomorrow, because I've spent time preparing ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***** Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Don't forget the devilled eggs! At least that adds a little bit to make it feel like Easter, even if our kids aren't around! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We are going to do Asian Takeout. We get to see L's bestie and her mom tomorrow for the first time in months (we saw them a total of 2 times in the last year, masked, outside, and very short due to the fact that the first was way too hot and the second was way too cold). At this point, everyone has gotten the first vaccine dose, the adults are all fully vaccinated, and weather is nice, so we plan to spend the day with the adults chatting on the back porch, and the teens being teens somewhere (probably the park across the street) and then to order food from the restaurant we used to meet at weekly until Feb of 2020. It's not a traditional Easter, but I am very, very excited to have a relatively normal social visit for the first time in a year! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Well idk we were going to keep it simple with my parents. My mom just had a lot of dental work so ham, macaroni &cheese, asparagus, watermelon. Plus whatever oldest DD wanted to bake for dessert. Now we are quarantined so no parents. Not sure if we will save the ham for when they can come or just do it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh! Pulled pork! Great idea! I really don't want to do a ham, as it is just TOO salty and we all feel bloated for days. And it makes too much. But wanted to stick with a warm weather fun food - was thinking of doing salmon, but pulled pork might be the winner. Would go well with the baked beans I'm planning, and maybe I'll make potato salad with the already cooked creamer potatoes that are in my fridge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Whipped cream and strawberries for dessert. No shortcake, just cut to the chase. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie G Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Just Dh and me here. We’ll have salmon and a couple of sides...probably asparagus. Did Easter w the grands last weekend since SIL is a pastor and Easter week is so busy for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Easter will be a little more than last year... Last year it was just dh and I, and we ordered take-out Easter dinner from a local restaurant, and then delivered portions of it to our young adult dd's who are in their own apartments nearby. (Were not in the same bubble yet!) This year, those two dd's will be spending it with us, but we're doing it very low-key, partly because my dh and I had our vaccine #2 today and don't know how we'll be feeling tomorrow! We're having an Easter brunch. One dd is making a quiche, and then we'll have fruit salad, a cucumber salad, and hot-cross buns. Oh, and mimosas! We live in an area that usually has snow this time of year, but tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 70's! Very weird, but that means we'll try and have our brunch outside.

MrsMommy Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Leg of lamb, Greek potatoes, roast Brussels sprouts, sautéed asparagus, breaded artichokes, carrot fritters, popovers, and our favorite Jell-O "salad." Oh, and carrot cake Oreo truffles for dessert. It's "just" going to be our family of seven, but Easter is a Big Deal to us, so I'm going all out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 We're having the best veggie burgers (from Burgerlords in LA) and a big tropical fruit platter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It will be just dh, dd2 and me tomorrow. I am at work for a 12 hour shift tonight so we decided to take it easy tomorrow and I am going to make some fettucine alfredo with salad and garlic bread for dinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 5 hours ago, MrsMommy said: our favorite Jell-O "salad." Oh foo, that's what I forgot to make! I have the cinnamon rolls raising for breakfast, then a ham, potato casserole, broccoli casserole, two pies (butterscotch and coconut cream) and a carrot cake. I think I have a dessert problem considering that's just for three of us, lol. I have some asparagus I could do for something fresh, but my dh doesn't eat any of those veges anyway. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 We are having part of a rolled boned leg of lamb - the butcher cut off one end for us. We'll have it with the wild garlic we foraged on Friday, steamed tender stem broccoli and roast hispi cabbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
