A Delicious Easter Dinner Menu That Is As Easy As Pie
I have been making this springtime meal for as long as my oldest son has been around. That is, for 17 years. We enjoy every single morsel; I have not been able to find any reason to change a thing. I hope you will enjoy it, too!

A Formal or A Casual Easter Dinner Menu?
The choice is up to you! This menu will be delicious either way.
My Best-Ever Baked Ham Recipe
Follow this link to my recipe for this delicious and simple baked ham.
My Mother-in-Law always said that this ham was delicious because of the ham that we used which still has the bone in it. It is almost failproof and I sometimes 'cheat' and skip the glaze...-

Steamed Asparagus, Peaches & Cream Corn and Carrots
Plain side dishes or vegetables are perfect for me!
Achieveing perfect asparagus is not difficult. Steaming for three minutes, until just tender when pierced with a fork, cooks it perfectly or you can just trust your nose. I find that when I start to smell the asparagus, it is cooked. Try it and see if it works for you.
In Canada, we have a brand of frozen corn niblets called Green Giant. They make two types of corn and we love the peaches and cream variety. It is the only brand that I buy because nothing else compares save, fresh corn in the summer and early fall! To cook corn, I find the easiest method to be the microwave oven. A small casserole dish filled with enough for six people takes about six minutes to cook in my microwave.
Previously, I would have added baby carrots to this recipe. However, what I have learned lately about how Baby Carrots are created so I will instead recommend carrot coins. (Regular carrots, peeled and sliced to be shaped like coins."
Using an asparagus steamer is the best way to steam your asparagus as the tender tips of the stalks are the farthest away from the heat and the thicker stems are just above the boiling water. In case you are wondering about the versatility of this item, it can also be used for corn-on-the-cob, hard-boiling eggs and artichokes This steamer is Amazon's bestselling asparagus steamer and comes with a lifetime warranty. As one Amazon customer reviewer put it, "This isn't the sort of item that one must have. But I'm really glad I own it." To read more about this asparagus steamer, which retails for $45 at Amazon, follow this link.
Baby Carrots Why NOT To Serve Them To Your Family
Did you know that most baby carrots are not grown as baby carrots? Instead they are regular carrots that are cut down into the shape of baby carrots and then processed through a chlorine rinse. For all of the details, read my page about baby carrots.-

The Best-Ever Country Seed Bread Recipe
A fantastic bread-machine recipe! Coming here soon, the link to my favorite bread-machine recipe.
We have been making the best-ever country seed bread recipe for about 16 years. A friend passed the recipe to me from her Mother and it soon became one of our favorites. We have it quite frequently and find it is the perfect accompaniment to a homemade soup dinner. It is, however, also a perfect addition to this Easter dinner menu. I would say that bread is not required as the rest of this menu is plenty of food for a gathering. I started adding this bread because I have one son who did not care for potatoes. Now, the bread is a set part of our meal.-

- Very nice lens, 5***** Easter is so different in England, many people having Turkey or another roast meal. Traditionally we serve Roast Potatoes with our special meals, then a variety of vegetables, maybe Brussel Sprouts, Peas and Carrots, Swede (aka Rutabaga), Roast Parsnips, and of course lots of lovely thick gravy. MMmmmmmmmm :)
