ILSnwdog Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 You can't screw one of these up! Honey Baked Ham They are expensive, but damn they are good. All you need to do is heat them up at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've got to differ on the Honey Baked Ham, and Jack Aubrey will back me up. There are basically two points of view on HBH: that it's the most delicious thing in the world, or that a perfectly good ham has been ruined by dumping sugar all over it. I'm in the latter camp, and those of us who hate it REALLY hate it. I'd suggest finding out ahead of time if people like it. There's always the other traditional Easter food, leg of lamb, but it can be expensive. Plus it's a pain to serve to a large crowd - half of them will want it still bleeding and the other half want it burnt to a crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 How about a corn pudding as a side dish? It's easy (uses frozen corn), inexpensive, and quite yummy. There are a million different recipes for it on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 honey baked ham or bone in ham and season it yourself. we have lamb and either a stuffed pork loin or ham for people who don't like the lamb. starches it's either potatoes, pasta, or bread. i have no problem with all 3.

Queen of Megadon Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 With ham, especially fresh ham, we always make Spanish Rice and Beans. We also make it as a side for lamb, which is what we are serving, as well as a small turkey. Not everyone likes lamb. Dessert? A nice coconut cake always looks pretty. Someone in my family used to make it when we were kids, havent had it in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I usually make a Lasagna to go with the ham, and some homemade scalloped potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvgeddy05 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 at above! I'm thinking scalloped potatoes, yes, maybe a crock pot recipie. Good call Queen with the coconut cake! I got a biscuit recipe too. I have to look through my BHG cookbook, aka the cooking Bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'll be eating ham while others eat lamb. But I'll be eating with an Italian family - and they know how to cook! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 For me, nothing says holidays like a baked ziti or a lasagna - a real one, no diet stuff no parboiled noodles, no canned sauce. the relatives usually have ham, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to look through my BHG cookbook, aka the cooking Bible. Glad I could inspire! My cookbook bible is Betty Crocker...thing is dog eared and stained! As per other suggestions, we always began the meal with a pasta dish...manicotti, ziti, lasagna...delish and a good choice. For us though we've eliminated it the past few years, because we make SO MUCH other food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
