Just finalized the menu with DH Yeast Rolls Deviled Eggs Charcuterie Roasted Artichoke Salad Spring Strawberry Salad Lamb Lollipops w/Garlic & Rosemary Maple Glazed Ham Pizzagaina Roasted Brussels Sprouts Cheese Herb Potato Gratin Roasted Vegetable Platter Mini Braised Potatoes Carrot Cake Butterscotch Brownies
Mmmmm, pizzagaina! My grandma made a variation of this that was so, so good.
Sunday we’re going to a friends place and doing brunch, so we’ll bring homemade strawberry shortcake and ham, they’re going to do homemade biscuits and gravy, etc.
Later in the week we’ll do ham and potatoes and all the fixins at home
I've never attempted a lamb mold, shaped cakes are always 50/50 on if they stick for me.
this is why my big holiday standby is pavlova. Christmas gets a wreath shape (with cherries, mint and raspberries). Easter gets an egg shape with decorated with 4 ish rows of fruit in different colors. (berries/mango/kiwi/whatever). easy but pretty. My favorite combo
I was assigned desserts/sweet GF dishes for everything.
H’s dad’s family: banana pudding (family recipe, used GF nilla wafers) H’s mom’s family: chocolate cheese cake (made it for Christmas in 2020 - extremely rich so glad my H and I aren’t required to eat the entire thing ourselves this time lol) Church brunch: blueberry muffins
