I bought a spiral small ham for Easter the other day. I'm going to make my sweet potatoes to go with and my other side dish is Santa Cruz Seafood Shells. (post the recipe later on).
I changed my mind about just making Lasagna. We like Ham for Easter, but the desert will still be something chocolate, I think. Cookie

Cookie that sounds like a wonderful dinner.
Jon's Dad will wait til the last minute and spring on me what he wants me to cook.
Im going to Walmart tomorrow so I may just get a ham or something myself.

They have lamb on sale at carfagna's so DH has said we can do a leg of lamb for Easter! Normally he's not wild about lamb but maybe he is invisioning gyros with the left overs.

I love lamb!
I hate not knowing what I am cooking til the last minute. Jon's Dad said yesterday he plans to get a hold of his other son's in laws and invite them. SOooo since he is doing that Im leaving the menu up to him. I told him to let me know if and what he would like me to cook to help. It may sound bad but when all of his other son's in laws come for dinner I kinda loose interest. I dont mind putting out a big dinner for Jon, FIL, BIL and his family but when you throw in all of his wifes family that I really don't know and have zero in common with it kinda takes the fun out of it for me. Christmas dinner they came and ate and then took every scrap of leftover food with them. They never brought anything to the dinner. I tossed around the idea of getting a ham or something myself at Walmart today but Im not going to. Jon can take ham or leave it and I canot eat it at all. I would just be buying it to cook for the others. Im just gonna wait and and let his Dad let me know what he wants me to make if anything. I think Im going to get a couple nice steaks at the store to make for dinner for Jon and I on Sat or Sun. I called my FIL yesterday and told him about a couple of sales they were having here in town on hams and even some pork loin and he was like well Im going wait a little while.. I like to know atleast a few days ahead so I can plan what Im preparing and get what I need from the store. I hate to wait til the last minute.
