What are your Easter dinner plans?
The Question
If you celebrate, what are your plans for Easter dinner?
We're doing a smoked turkey roast, ham, deviled eggs, homemade rolls with strawberry rhubarb jam, a jello salad with cottage cheese and fruit (don't laugh - it's always requested in our family) green salad , mashed potatoes and carrot cake. Very midwestern , but we like it
