My Easter Menu

Easter dinner is one of my favorite dinners to cook. I love having a full table of friends and family eating a delicious spring meal. I tend to collect any of my friends that do not have family to eat with on this special day. My table always has room for more people. I will be asking some of my older neighbors if today if they have any plans. Do you have a friend or neighbor that may not have a place to eat for the holiday? If you do, squeeze the kids together and make a space. 

  We start with brunch. I know we will have a hungry crew after delivering six Easter Baskets and laying 10 dozen eggs in our neighborhood. Hey, being the Easter Bunny is tough work.

Next, after church, we dash home to spend a fun afternoon with friends and eat dinner. So I have to bake part of the dinner ahead of time.
