Here's my plan for Easter weekend. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Saturday:
Lunch - Not sure what time our company is getting here - will throw chili in the crockpot, well I'll have my husband throw it in the crockpot since he's MUCH better at chili than I am!)
Dinner - spaghetti and salad
Sunday:
Breakfast - PB Oatmeal, sausage links, and Fruit
Easter Dinner
- Ham
- Potato Salad (I was going to make mashed potatoes and gravy one year, but apparently that's just not done in my husband's family. They thought I had fallen off my rocker. Anyone else make ham gravy or am I the only one?)
- Black Bean Salad (something like this...)
- Cabbage Slaw (cabbage, apples, dressing is 1/3 c mayo, 1/3 brown sugar, splash of lime juice) I like this room temperature, my husband likes it cold. I try to make it about 30 minutes before we eat and I put his in the fridge
- Some sort of relish tray
- Fresh Fruit with Homemade Whipped Cream
- Need to make some homemade bread for people who want a sandwich later on
Breakfast - fried potatoes with sausage links and scrambled eggs/fried eggs over the top
Lunch and Dinner - plan aheads/CORD (clean out refrigerator day)/leftovers whatever you want to call it
At some point we'll be making something like these Mini Cheesecakes (I use graham crackers/melted butter intead of vanilla wafers, but I might try almond flour this time). My husband loves cherry pie filling so I'll either put that on top or a blueberry syrup.
P.S. A really easy fruit salad idea - cut up strawberries and bananas, then throw in a bit of yogurt (sweeten with honey if needed).
So I wrote this post yesterday and then went to the store this morning. I didn't use my debit card thankfully, but as I walked by the cabbage and apples I realized that I completely and TOTALLY forgot to look at my menu when I was planning my shopping trip. DOH!!! So I bought some stuff not on my list, but kept to my budget anyway.
Here's my picture:
