Happy Easter!

Easter was a great week-end. I think I should not be surprised that even though we don't communicate much about the menu, our meals turn out fabulous every time.

Arrived on Saturday and Chris made a pasta dish for dinner that was great. Poached chicken, artichokes, Kalamata olives, Feta cheese, & sun dried tomatoes sauce over pasta. With garlic bread, super!!

After church on Easter we began to put together the dinner. The ham was great with a special glaze: honey, mustard and juice of an orange. Great! Thank you!

Hors douvers were provided by Loretta; tortilla scoops, crackers and lots of fillings, sloppy Joe's, tuna salad and goat cheese with cranberry relish (my favorite) on top. Also Feta cheese filled olives.

Dinner :

Sliced Glazed Ham
Cheese Scalloped Potatoes With Bacon
Caprerse Salad
Loretta's tossed salad with OJ's, Beans and Croutons/French Onion Rings
Spring Vegetable Saute
Lime Glazed Angel Cake with Pistachio's

Basically an easy preparation for this meal.

The glaze was heated and added to the already cooked ham after heating a couple of hours. The potatoes were put together on Saturday and cooked on Sunday. Potatoes, cheese, bacon, onion, etc. The Caprese Salad is made of grape tomatoes ane mini Mozzarella's balls, basil, EVOO and salt and pepper. Lori's salad is filled with many good things, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, beans, Mandarin Oranges and other salad ingredients and a dressing of choice.

The vegetable medley is blanched green beans, broccoli, asparagus, snow peas and small peas. Tossed with EVOO, sauteed shallots, and red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

An all together good menu.

Dessert was a Lime Angel Food Cake with Glaze and Pistachio's with coffee or tea.
After dinner we always watch a movie. This year was "A Blind Side" A good film we all enjoyed.

A great meal and good company. The drive home in the rain and traffic....not so much; but worth the weekend.

Next week?? Halibut in Papillote (parchment paper)

Have a great week!
