CammyEaster traditions change over the years. As we get older, they become more and more meaningful. I think we kind of lost sight of Easter traditions or maybe I'm just getting more and more forgetful of years past. I don't recall last year at all. Michael says we had Easter with mom, but honestly, pretty much all of last year was a blur. I'm pretty sure he is right. Afterall, he usually is. This year we didn't really verbalize any specific plans so we did something slightly different than years past. The menu consisted of the recipes in the links below. I prepped it all and then we loaded it, pans and all, in the truck and showed up with it at mom's where I cooked the meal. It was fun and it felt really darn good. Mom was surprised and, as always, very grateful. Mom also encouraged us to watch Passion of the Christ. Oh my word. As mom said, watching that particular movie on Easter Sunday really brings home the true reason we celebrate Easter.
Best Spiral Ham Recipe - How To Cook A Spiral Ham (delish.com) - I've always liked ham though I've never bothered with the glaze. I'm here to say that I will never forego the glaze again. I didn't have any apricot preserves so I used some Stonewall Kitchen Raspberry Peach Champagne Jam. It blended well with the Kentucky Maple Bourbon. I'm sure that just about any flavor preserves would work well. The red pepper flakes are a must! I think I've decided that this will be our new traditional Easter meal. The cannoli cupcakes I baked for Sunday Bakery were the perfect dessert as well as they were so light and tasty. GeorgiaWe had a low key Easter. Had dinner with friends and hung out on the front porch taking pics. New find in our yard is a Purple Finch Giving thanks for the greatest gift to ALL mankind. We are Easter people JenNikitaThis year, we offered to host Easter dinner (lunch) at our house. The traditional Ham, Brussels, Carrots, and Pineapple Casserole were on the menu, but I was stunned by these Homemade Dinner Rolls that I turned out. The recipe was easy to follow and the soft pillowy buns were exceptional. Everybody raved about them. We used the leftovers to make Cubano Paninis for lunch the following week. And there was lots of Hawaiian Pizza from all the ham and pineapple leftover. Lots of fun, and it was a true blessing to enjoy this time with family. I don't know who decided ham was the official ham of Easter.. But Thank You!!
Until next week, Cammy, Georgia, Jen, Nikita, Zane and Mandy
