Your Cauliflower Gratin was very good yesterday. We were non-traditional yesterday. We grilled two rib-eyes that were discounted about a week ago, had your cauliflower gratin, some roasted, sliced tiny new potatoes (creamers) sprinkled with spices, Angel eggs (no devils in our home)celery sticks stuffed with my wife's excellent pimento cheese sprinkled with monterey jack cheese leftover from the Angel eggs. Homemde lemonade for drinks, My wife's birthday carrot cake leftover from Sat. for dessert.

This was a low buck meal that cost less than the cost of a ham dinner, and utilized what we had on hand in the house, made a new dish (yours) Angel Eggs 6 boiled eggs 4 strips bacon, fried till crunchy 1 C. shedded monterrey Jack cheese 1/3 C. mayo 3 green onions, thinly sliced 1 T. diced jalepeno No exact measures, adjust to taste Boil eggs, peel, slice longways. Crunch bacon into bits. Mix all ingrediants together, adjust consistancy with more or less mayo, season to taste with season mix, or celery seed, pepper, or whatever. Stuff egg whites with mixture and chill. Enjoy.

Boil eggs, peel, slice longways, reserve yolks. Crunch bacon into bits. Mix all ingrediants together, adjust consistancy with more or less mayo, season to taste with season mix, or celery seed, pepper, or whatever. Stuff egg whites with mixture and chill. Enjoy.

Glad you enjoyed the Cauliflower Gratin. It sounds like you had a very nice dinner (I know I love steak any day of the week, but these days the closest my family gets to it is a London broil!) I copied down your angel eggs to try as we love anything with bacon!

We had a fairly traditional but simple Easter dinner last night. Ham, Au Gratin Potatoes, Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Bean Casserole (my kids have to have this for every holiday), dinner rolls, and our home made Easter Bunny Cake!

The total price tag for our dinner was $16.99, since I buy almost all our groceries on sale or with coupons. There was more than enough food for my entire family of five. We have enough leftover sweet potatoes, and green bean casserole and cake for another meal and enough ham for at least two meals and perhaps three.

The best part for me was that while I cooked the ham, and did the frosting of the cake, my oldest daughter told me that I needed a break from the cooking and she cooked all the side dishes and decorated the bunny cake. She did an excellent job too, so she made me very proud of her!
