Not sure what we will have this year. Since all our family is out of state maybe we will do something non-traditional. One thing I miss is the fresh kielbasa that I used to get back home that we had on Easter.
Dont forget your spring vegetables asparagus and baby spinach, well probably bar-b-que something not sure yet, perhaps a pork loin with apricot glaze or apple cinnamon glaze,
The pork loin with apricot glaze sounds so good. Do you grill it or roast it?
If I'm cooking, we'll do a pork roast, with roasted potatoes and red cabbage, plus asparagus, since it's in season. For dessert, I'll do something light - I cut up angel food cake into bite size pieces. Then I layer cake with layers of fresh fruit, pureed fruit and whipped cream. Easy and tasty!

Grill we have a dome weber and we bank the coals to the side, aluminum pan in the middle and when the coals are ready we put the loin in the middle....yum i'll have sliced some sweet onions with butter in a aluniumum foil and roast too.

That sounds so good. Do you think it'll work on a gas Weber? We had a nice dome charcoal grill which we lent to my aunt, but she took it upon herself to give it away her neighbor once she bought herself gas grill.
We do a large, late(2pm) family 'brunch' after the kids find my brilliantly hid eggs (which they trade in for a treat basket-they get a 'clue list' to find the eggs). Honey baked ham, swedish pancakes rolled with lingonberries, egg/cheese casserole, sausage links over baked cinnamon apple slices,fresh fruit/raw spinach bowl, poppyseed muffins with strawberry butter, and CHAMPAGNE served in a flute glass with a splash of apricot nector. Its the same menu every year and its always my house-just like Christmas. Dessert- grandma brings her home made coconut lamb cake and after champagne, someone always thinks its funny to make the lambs eyes crossed ( poor grams works so hard to perfect the lamb details but she always laughs . PS I did mention champagne didnt I >?
