Easter Sunday Menu Recipes

I am going to start with the ham. I like my Ham salty not glazed. But I have added some glaze recipes below for you guys that do.

Ham Glazes

Cola Glaze

1 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup cola

Pour both in a sauce pot and bring to a boil until desired thickness. Pour over cooked ham.

Pineapple Mustard Brown Sugar Glaze

1 tablespoon pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1tablespoon Dijon mustard

Mix all ingredients In a sauce pot and bring to a boil until desired thickness. Pour over cooked ham.

Next we will go to the deviled eggs. These are a must to have at Easter..

Deviled Eggs

6 cook eggs
2 tablespoon mayo
1 teas. vinegar
1 teas. dijon mustard
1/2 teas. salt
paprika to sprinkle tops

Bring eggs to a rapid boil for 2 minutes. Cover, turn off burner and let sit for 20 minutes. Uncover and let cool, peel eggs and slice into. Take centers out and place in bowl with mayo,vinegar,mustard, and salt. Stir all together and spoon back into centers of eggs. Sprinkle paprika on eggs and there ready.


This is one of my dad's favorite things in the world to eat.  And another must for Easter in our family.

2 boiled eggs

Boil potatoes until fork tender. In large bowl add the green onions,celery,bell pepper, mayo,mustard, season salt, pepper, pickle relish and boiled eggs. Mix all together and stir in potatoes. If not moist enough for you add more mayo and mustard.


Tropical Carrot Cake is my dads favorite cake in the world. So I make it for him a lot. This is a awesome cake. You will love it.


Tropical Carrot Cake                                                   Cream Cheese Icing

3 eggs                                                                         1 8 oz. cream cheese
3/4 cup vegetable oil                                                   4 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk                                                       1 teas. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour                                               1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
2 teas. baking soda                                                      Mix all together and spread on cake.
2 teas. cinnamon
1/2 teas. salt
2 teas. vanilla
2 cups finely shredded carrots
8 oz, can crushed pineapple undrained
1 cup coconut
1 cup walnuts chopped

Beat eggs,oil,and buttermilk together. Combine flour,sugar,soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Mix in with egg mixture. Stir in vanilla, carrots,pineapple, walnuts and coconut. Mix well. Pour into two greased 9 inch round cake pans for around 30 to 35 minutes. Or a 9x13 baking dish and bake 45 to 50 minutes. Ovens vary so I would check after 35 minutes with toothpick.


All you need is some frozen corn, hawaiian rolls and green beans, a nice salad with whatever toppings you like. Make a nice fruit try and you are all set for Easter..  I hope that I have helped you all with menu ideas and recipes. Have a great Holiday....
