Happy Easter! For the second year in a row...no lamb for Easter dinner. I feel like such a heathen. My kids won out again.
For starters we have all the Italian appetizers...fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, provolone cheese, antipasto salad, hard sausages, marinated olives, and bruschetta on baked garlic Italian bread. Then I'm making his fresh tomato thing I never made before (sliced tomatoes marinated in balsamic vinegar, roasted in the oven for 7 minutes, then topped with sauteed baby spinach in garlic & shredded mozzarella cheese and melted), onion dip in the pumpernickel bread, and deviled jalapeno eggs. Then it's a spiral cut honey baked ham with a few side dishes...glazed orange carrots, Tuscan style roasted asparagus...creamed red potatoes & peas....and of course, eggplant parm. Then an orange ricotta cake for desert that I'm about to make now,...along with a giant mound of a chocolate mousse cake.
Believe it or not, I cut way back this year...but after I just wrote this, it still seems like a lot!
