Every year we go to my husband's aunts house. Lately, I am lazy and we unexpectedly have a new dog. So, we are staying home and hopefully we can make a picnic in the backyard. It has been a long time since I started a foodie thread, so what are your plans/recipes for Easter dinner?

Sorry to hear that tubebender. Family can be such a pain sometimes. They know all the buttons to push to drive you crazy in the shortest time possible. Too bad you’re on the other side of the world or you could come eat with us. :)
That’s called quiche. (real men call it “egg pie”)
I make the raisin sauce for the ham that we have at my daughter’s home.
