BUFFALOKIE Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I love food threads on OTW, so I am wondering what yall have planned for your Easter. We are going to Moms house and my Step Dad is smoking ribs and bologna. I am wondering what to bring as a side...something holiday specific that goes well with the main entree. Any suggestions?

Augie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ham. It always starts with a ham at our house. We are hosting 12-14 tomorrow and always enjoy getting together. Besides the ham there will be shrimp salad, and big and small croissants to go with both. Shrimp salad was a spring time fixture when we were young in Hilton Head. It will be the last round of the Heritage golf tournament from Hilton Head tomorrow, so it seemed fitting. We have a lovely vegetarian attending (son’s GF) so we have some sides to make and a boatload of stuff we just picked up at Whole Foods. I rarely take a short cut like that, but I never stop my wife from doing it! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ham and Polish sausage. I am not cooking, my SIL is, and that was all I was told. I think they went down to the Broadway market today (nuts!) so whatever they see and buy will be added to whatever they are cooking. I am bringing three desserts including panna cotta (Hubby is making it) and carrot cake (baked and awaiting frosting tomorrow). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among this mornings errands was going to a special bakery to pick up a carrot cake. We have gluten and dairy issues attending, plus one guy with a deadly egg allergy. For only the low, low price of $60, you can get a carrot cake that eliminates all those concerns, and actually tastes great! Popsicles might have worked too....... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 We'll be at my Aunt/Uncles but presume it'll be Leg of Lamb (of God). Some year we'll need to host again so I can butterfly grill it. Good enough to rise from the dead for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Have always been fond of good holiday casserole sides—our table for the Easter meal besides the crock pot honey glazed ham, will include corn casserole, green bean casserole and a sweet potato pie casserole (southern in-laws and all ;), but my MIL’s deviled eggs are truly a treat as well. My personal baby that I’m always responsible for are the mashed potatoes, as I don’t believe in adding any bland water whatsoever to them—it’s all about the heavy whipping cream, butter galore and some cream cheese...it’ll block your arteries but I’ll tell you what, you’ll swear you’ve never had better.

Had only Tom Carvel thought of producing these, Carvel Ice Cream cakes would have quadrupled market share nationwide. Also, if you turn it 90 degrees and use orange ice cream, you can market it as a ‘Buffalo chicken wing ice cream cake’. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude - I'd never heard of smoking bologna before. But DAMN, that sounds/looks delicious. I just got 3.75 lb. slab and will be throwing it on the smoker later today. It's not going to be Easter dinner (we're doing ribeyes on the grill), but it will be great for sandwiches throughout the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
