Wanna know what I'll actually have for Easter? Turkey. But not just any turkey--full-on Thanksgiving roast turkey with all the trimmings. It's for a magazine assignment, and I'm sort of looking forward to it. It's not unusual for magazines to work 6 or more months ahead, especially when it comes to holiday stories. Luckily, I bought an extra bag of fresh cranberries and stuck them in the freezer, in case of emergency.
I will, however, miss cooking an Easter ham. It's what we always ate when I was growing up, so it just feels like the right thing to have on Easter. For those who celebrate Easter, do you have a specific food tradition?
If you're in search of ideas, I put together a brunch menu and a lunch/dinner menu from my archives. This was fun to do and makes me want to cook this stuff, turkey or no turkey! Oh, well. Maybe I'll try a ham in a week or two after all the turkey leftovers are finished.

When we were growing up, it was always ham at Easter. Since the small-town grocery where we used to buy exceptional hams closed about ten years ago, my sister and I have changed up the menu. I'm doing a boneless leg of lamb this year.

My aunt always cooked ham for Easter. She was a terrible cook. Lumpy mashed potatoes and underbaked dinner rolls accompanied it. Not surprisingly, that's not what I serve anymore! We're having leg of lamb.
Julie,
This egg dish looks delicious and I love the idea of Romaine Pesto! I am so glad I was able to meet you in Denver and check out your blog! Best, Alison
