Ham is always on my Easter table and pineapple is such a wonderful partner with ham that I usually have a side dish featuring it. Maybe this Pineapple and Banana Salad or this Baked Pineapple.
While tradition is important to me I also like to change things up a bit so this year I decided to try a couple of new recipes to see if I wanted to include them on my Holiday table. This Pineapple Bread Pudding came in with a resounding YES.
And so, with that, my Easter Menu was decided. A new Sweet Potato Recipe is included this year as well but you will have to wait for that. One of my guests does not eat pork so I am including Chicken Marsala this year. I always try to have enough side dishes to accommodate our son in law, who is Vegetarian.
Do you serve up a Traditional Ham Dinner on Easter? Whether you serve Ham, Lamb or go completely Vegan or Vegetarian, I hope this event has helped you with your Menu planning. 1 week to go......
