Easter Meal Inspiration

This year, I’m excited to host Easter for my extended family for the first time! Since we’ll have around 20 people, I’m planning on serving ham as the main dish. I’d love some easy-to-make recipe ideas for sides, appetizers, and desserts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    That sounds like a wonderful gathering! Here are some recipe ideas to complement your ham:

    Appetizers:

    1. Deviled Eggs: Classic and always a hit. You can elevate them with toppings like crispy bacon bits or smoked paprika.
    2. Caprese Skewers: Cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and basil drizzled with balsamic glaze. Simple and fresh!
    3. Vegetable Platter: Serve with a homemade ranch or hummus dip for a healthy option.
    4. Stuffed Mushrooms: Fill them with cream cheese, garlic, herbs, and breadcrumbs for a savory bite.

    Side Dishes:

    1. Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy and buttery, a perfect match for ham.
    2. Roasted Vegetables: Toss a mix of seasonal veggies like carrots, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts with olive oil and herbs, and roast until caramelized.
    3. Honey Glazed Carrots: Quick to make and add a nice sweetness to your meal.
    4. Coleslaw: A fresh and crunchy side that balances the richness of the ham.
    5. Dinner Rolls: Soft, buttery rolls are great for mopping up gravy or sauces.

    Salads:

    1. Spring Salad: Mixed greens with strawberries, pecans, feta cheese, and a poppy seed dressing.
    2. Potato Salad: A creamy or vinegar-based potato salad can be a great addition.

    Desserts:

    1. Carrot Cake: A classic Easter dessert, topped with cream cheese frosting.
    2. Lemon Bars: Bright and tangy, they’re a great way to finish the meal.
    3. Chocolate Mousse: Rich and decadent, served in individual cups or glasses.
    4. Fruit Tart: A beautiful option filled with pastry cream and topped with fresh fruit.

    Drinks:

    Don’t forget about beverages! Consider serving a mix of sparkling water, lemonade, and perhaps a spring-inspired cocktail or mocktail.

    These ideas should help create a lovely Easter meal that your family will enjoy without being too overwhelming to prepare. Good luck with your hosting!
