Ready to create an Easter menu your family will rave about in 2025? We’re sharing our favorite, tried-and-true Easter dinner ideas, featuring everything from succulent ham to vibrant side dishes and irresistible desserts. Let’s make this Easter celebration the best one yet! As an added bonus, check out our sample Easter menu plan at the end of this article.
Traditional Easter Dinner
Every year our family gathers together on Easter Sunday to enjoy a traditional Easter dinner. The main event is always ham. Classic side dishes include a potato dish, a hot vegetable, a fresh salad, and of course, dessert. There are variations each year depending on the number of people coming to dinner, where we are gathering, and new recipes we want to add into the mix.
We have our Easter dinner menu along with the steps to prepare them below. In addition, please look through all of the ideas we have listed here to create your own perfect Easter menu. You can customize your Easter dinner by mixing and matching the dishes your guests will love the most.
Easter Appetizers
As family and friends start to gather, we like to set out an appetizer or two. We’ve handpicked some of our favorites to set out before Easter dinner.
- Deviled Eggs: This is a great way to use all of those Easter eggs the Easter Bunny hid in your yard! The eggs can be prepared the day before to save time.
- Fruit Tray with Cream Cheese Fruit Dip: You’ll love this citrusy, creamy dip that can be prepared a day or two ahead. Serve it with an array of fresh fruits.
- Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus: This appetizer looks complicated, but it’s simply asparagus spears wrapped in a cream cheese mixture and prosciutto.
- Vegan Charcuterie Board: I love offering this appetizer for guests that eat a vegan or vegetarian diet. It can also be made completely gluten-free when using gluten-free crackers.
Easter Salads
The possibilities are endless when it comes to Easter salads. It’s fun to incorporate fresh spring flavors at Easter dinner. We find ourselves using the following salads time and time again.
- Creamy Pea Salad: This crisp, fresh salad adds a vibrant color to your Easter table. Use fresh peas if you can find them.
- Homemade Potato Salad: Tender chunks of potatoes and hard-boiled eggs covered in creamy dressing makes the perfect salad for Easter.
- Nuts About Berries Salad: The sweet berries in this salad complement the saltiness of the ham.
- Strawberry Pretzel Salad: Prepare this salad a day ahead so it can set up well. We like to plate this salad and have it on the table when Easter dinner begins.
- Creamy Cucumber Salad: This simple salad can be prepared in no time at all. It’s perfect for an Easter picnic or as a garden-fresh side.
Easter Main Dish Recipes
According to marthastewart.com, ham became the meat of choice for Easter dinner because it was more readily available than lamb. However, if ham isn’t your main dish of choice, a roast lamb, pork roast, roast beef, or fish can be served for your Easter feast.
- Crockpot Spiral Ham: The star of the show! We love that this can be prepared in a slow cooker freeing up the oven for side dishes and rolls. If you prefer an oven-baked ham, try our Honey Baked Ham recipe.
- Oven Roast Beef : You can’t go wrong with a succulent, classic roast beef at any holiday dinner.
- Stuffed Pork Tenderloin: This delicious pork roast with its savory filling makes a beautiful centerpiece on the dinner table for Easter.
- Lemon Salmon: While less traditional than ham, this tender salmon makes a memorable Easter main dish. It’s flavorful and can be prepared in less than 30 minutes.
Easter Side Dishes
Hot Potato Side Dishes
You can’t serve a ham dinner without a good hot potato side dish. Typically Easter potatoes are served “casserole-style” in a casserole dish with some kind of sauce and cheese. Our readers have commented saying that they have loved serving our homemade au gratin potatoes or our parmesan potato halves with their ham dinners. Decide for yourself what suits your family best! Any of these potato side dish ideas will be a winner!
- Cheesy Potato Casserole: This creamy potato dish pairs perfectly with ham. We’ve served this dish at Easter for as long as I can remember.
- Creamy Potatoes and Peas: New potatoes and peas are a classic combo for an Easter side dish. This dish is prepared on the stove, keeping the oven free for other dishes.
- Homemade Mashed Potatoes: Mashed potatoes are always a favorite and they go with any main dish you are serving.
- Perfect Baked Potatoes: While simple and easy, this is an elegant side dish when served with butter, sour cream, and chives. This is a great vegan and dairy free option. To free up oven space make Instant Pot Baked Potatoes or Air Fryer Baked Potatoes.
- Rice or Pasta: If potatoes aren’t your favorite, try our Lemon Rice or Pasta with Peas as a complementary alternative.
Hot Vegetable Side Dishes
A hot vegetable side dish adds variety, color, and nutrition to an Easter dinner spread. Choose a hot vegetable that will complement the other side dishes on your Easter menu.
- Sweet Sautéed Asparagus: Cooked on the stove, this asparagus is sweet and crisp.
- Frozen Peas: Yes, that’s right, with our recipe you can turn frozen peas into something extra special!
- Lemon Brussels Sprouts: Light and buttery with a hint of fresh lemon, these Brussels sprouts will brighten up your Easter meal.
- Oven Roasted Green Beans: Crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, these green beans are bursting with flavor!
Easter Breads
Nothing quite compares to the aroma and taste of freshly baked bread. Homemade rolls are always a good idea. Our classic Easter bread also looks beautiful on the table.
- Homemade Dinner Rolls: Make an extra batch of these rolls to make ham sandwiches after Easter!
- Easter Bread: This festive bread is similar to brioche bread, the flavor is just a little sweeter. The dyed eggs are raw and cook in the oven along with the bread. So fun to make!
- Pani Popo: These sweet rolls bake in a sweet, coconut sauce. The rolls are soft and fluffy with an almost creamy coconut base.
- Crescent Rolls: This recipe makes a large batch to feed a crowd, or freeze some for later.
Easter Desserts
When it comes to Easter Desserts and Treats, we don’t mess around. These tasty treats can be served along with Easter dinner or even as surprises in Easter baskets. They are as fun to make as they are to eat! We feature our Chessmen Banana Pudding with our menu plan below. Here are a few more of our favorites.
Cakes
Celebrate Easter with a delicious and festive cake. Our most popular Easter cake recipes include:
- Easter Bunny Cake: This adorable bunny cake decorated with fruit is almost too cute to eat.
- Carrot Bundt Cake: A classic spring dessert featuring a moist, carrot cake base and cream cheese frosting.
- Coconut Cream Cake: A light and fluffy cake filled with coconut. A decadent Easter dessert!
- Lemon Pound Cake: A bright and refreshing cake that’s perfect for Easter.
Pies
Enjoy a slice of springtime with our delicious Easter pie recipes:
- Lemon Meringue Pie: The classic tangy and sweet lemon pie with a light and airy meringue.
- Key Lime Pie: One of our most popular pies! The tart key lime flavor really shines in the creamy filling.
- Coconut Cream Pie: If you love coconut, this pie is for you! The cream coconut filling is homemade, not from a pudding mix.
- Sour Cream Lemon Pie: Freshly squeezed lemons and rich sour cream give this pie the perfect amount of tartness and creaminess.
Bars and Cookies
These easy and delicious cookie and bar recipes are perfect for Easter:
- Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies: A variation on chocolate chip cookies, but adorned with the beloved Cadbury mini eggs.
- Easter Sugar Cookies: Decorate sugar cookies in fun Easter shapes and colors.
- Lemon Bars: Every bite of these tangy and sweet lemon bars says, “Hello Spring!”
- Italian Easter Cookies: Decorate them with colorful icing and festive sprinkles for a beautiful and delicious Easter dessert.
No-Bake Easter Desserts
For a quick and easy Easter dessert, try one of these no-bake options:
- Easy Dirt Cake: This no-bake cake has a creamy pudding in the center with crunchy cookie crumbles on top. And who doesn’t love gummy worms on cake?!?
- No Bake Cheesecake: Decadent cheesecake on a graham cracker crust. Top with fresh seasonal fruit.
- Chessman Banana Pudding: A rich, layered banana pudding that is always a hit.
- Chocolate Bird Nests: Crispy Chinese noodles are coated in chocolate and molded into nests. A super easy no bake treat!
Sample Easter Dinner Menu
Here is a sample menu plan for an easy traditional Easter dinner. Slow Cooker Ham, Cheesy Potato Casserole, Sautéed Sweet Asparagus, and a Chessman Banana Pudding for dessert. This is a basic, simple Easter dinner. Add in appetizers, salads, rolls, and additional side dishes from our ideas above, or invite guests to contribute. Follow our preparation and timing guidelines for an stress-free Easter Sunday that you can enjoy cooking and eating with your family and friends.
Easter Dinner Recipes
Click on the images below for the full recipe of each dish and follow preparation timing for a relaxing and enjoyable Easter meal.
Preparation and Timing
- Day before: Prepare the banana pudding and refrigerate overnight.
- Three hours before dinner time: Prepare the ham to cook in the slow cooker. This will take about 10 minutes. The ham will slow cook on low for about 2 1/2- 3 hours and your house will smell amazing.
- One and a half hours before dinner time: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Make the cheesy potato casserole. Prep time will be approximately 15 minutes and cook time will be one hour.
- Prepare the asparagus: While the casserole is cooking, rinse and cut the asparagus, set the table, and make any other final preparations for the meal. The asparagus is best when it is hot and fresh out of the skillet, so prepare it about 10 minutes before you are ready to sit down and eat.

Please let us know if there are traditional Easter dishes you make that you would like to see featured with our ideas. We would also love to hear what you made for your Easter dinner. Thank you!
I love these cheesy potatoes!! They are sooo delicious warm or cold! I fix them for almost all family gatherings they are always a family favorite! I also make the deviled eggs and hope that there are enough on the plate for others to enjoy! I am not the only one who likes to “taste “ them before hand. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Linda
Thanks Linda! It seems like deviled eggs are always the first to go, they are so pop-able!
Ham is always a favorite! I love this crockpot recipe because it keeps the ham moist, has a nice flavor from the sauce on the outside and of course it is prepared while you are at church!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Linda
We as everyone else had the t radio nap ham. We definitely had potatoes we had potatoes every nie. Of course we had several vegetables like green beans, broccoli, and corn. The dessert had to be pie for my dad, but the real star was the bunny cake. My mom had a mold for the bunny and it was all decked out in white icing and covered in coconut. The best part of dinner was having all of us together. My four brothers and one sister, my grandmother/( who I miss every day for the past53 years), and sometimes Sister Christina my cousin and Monsigner? Herman Brieght. Now we each have our own traditions but I do miss the family get togethers. Hope your Easter holiday holds A lot of good memories.
I love banana pudding and I adore the King Chessmen cookies. I lived in Greece for many years and it would not be Easter without sweet cheese pies, lamb, goat, and a sweet braided bread with a red egg in the middle as a decoration. Easter is the best time of the year in Greece and I don’t think there is a Greek food I don’t like. I try, since moving back to the states, to always have a few Greek dishes at Easter such as an egg lemon soup and fried sweet cheese pies.
I want to try all your recipes! Each looks like a winner 100%. Being disabled, I will pick at least 2 to add to my husband’s menu.
Growing up, our Great Aunt had at least 7 or more families over after church. Mother’s always contributed, but what a feast she had! A huge table and non stop food passing of everything. I was a big girl when I got to sit at the big table.
I have 2 crock pots. So I’m going to try the slow cooker ham with glaze and the potatoes au gratin. Winners for sure.
Wishing all a Blessed Easter.
My favorite Easter dinner is leg of lamb with scalloped potatoes and asparagus. Then maybe chocolate pots de creme for dessert 🙂
Much as I love Ham and Roast Beef, I would go for Leg of Lamb for Easter. It was my family tradition growing up and is still a favorite..
My traditional Easter meal is ham. I like corn casserole, yams, grandpas party potatoes, and some good macaroni and cheese. I like this banana pudding recipe. I’ll try it. I am not much on desserts. But my family enjoys them!

I don’t have many traditional Easter memories regarding food, but my grandmother used to always make deviled eggs. Oreo delight is also an amazing thing down here in the south, it’s always gone too quick!
I’ve never heard of 4 layer banana pudding but sounds delicious, I must try it!
My family Easter celebrations have been hit and miss throughout my life so I can really say I have am absolute favorite, but I do like spiral ham and I must be pretty original because I’ve only thought of wrapping it with tin foil and heating it in the over, lol.
My favorite is the Honey Baked Ham in the Crock pot, the 4 layer banana pudding is the BEST as is all your reciepes. I love the homemade bread and of course the kids and babies enjoy making the cookies and Easter treats. Thank you for sharing all your homemade receipes for me to share with my children and as they grow up, they will share them with their children. Happy Easter & May God Bless You All.
I love a glazed ham with some lovely veggie sides like root vegetables, green beans and Brussels sprouts! Also, some fresh, warm rolls. Dessert can be anything from lemon squares to cheesecake or pavlova!
I enjoyed looking at all of the recipes. :-). Our favorite meal for Easter is usually pineapple and brown sugar glazed ham. asparagus, baked sweet potatoes, homemade cinnamon applesauce, hot rolls and coconut cake or carrot cake, maybe both if feeling energetic. 🙂
My Family’s favorite traditional easter dinner is pot roast with potatoes and mixed vegetables. We love a nice warm Hawaiian roll and lots of cookies for dessert.

I have used several of your recipes recently. All have been easy to make and delicious!

Looking forward to celebrating Easter tis year with family and friends and a delicious meal!
My grandkids and children too, loved the Easter cuocakes. I will surely bake it for more occasions. 😍

I love these recipes!! My Soulful Easter Dinner consists of a Pineapple and brown sugar ham, macaroni and cheese, collard greens seasoned with smoked turkey, pecan candied yams, and homemade yeast rolls. For dessert a delicious buttery peach cobbler. Happy Easter!! 🐇
My favorite Easter Dinner changes from year to year. Rarely is it traditional.
Sometimes it’s a Mexican meal, including homemade tamales! Some years it’s fun appetizers – mostly new recipes…thanks for the new recipes for appetizers! Some years it’s a barbecue!!
Every year I include my Mom’s deviled eggs!!
Having fun is the theme for the day!
My typical Easter dinner is ham, funeral potatoes, green bean casserole, fresh baked dinner roles, broccoli, and for dessert, apple pie and chocolate pie. However, dropping green beans for asparagus sounds like a nice suttle change.
my favorite is dinner roll, very very good for the family
Every Easter I make for my family a ham, collard greens, corn bread and for dessert a chocolate cake. This year I may have to try your menu ideas as they look good.
Amazing!!!! I probably wouldn’t make the eggs with this dinner. Ham, green salad, potatoes, and rolls have always been my go to for Easter dinner! Thanks for sharing your recipes!!!!!
I love the smell of the rolls and the Ham cooking. Even though my granny has passed her house always smelled good at Easter.
I love these recipes they are always so delicious, and very easy to follow and prepare them. Make this your go to for amazing meals and delicious recipes.
I usually make the honey roasted ham with a small chicken. For my side dishes it is corn on the cob, glassed carrots with potato filling.Happy Easter!
I love new ideas for holidays. Sometimes “doing the traditional meals” feels more like “being in a rut”. However I do love a honey glazed ham, mashed potatoes and peas. With a spice cake for dessert.
We have honey ham, potato salad, green bean casarole, and cream corn. For desert we have strawberry short cake. The kids eat candy
Everything sounds delicious. Some of these I’ve never heard of before. We usually have honey ham, potato salad or twice baked potatoes, green beans, yeast rolls, butter, banana pudding and brownies,
We have done that dinner recipe without the asparagus. our favorite dessert is usually cheesecake topped with cherry topping.
Love the ease of the crockpot ham
I have always had the traditional Easter dinner of ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green beans, ham gravy, glazed carrots, rolls and usually two desserts. I make lemon meringue pie or coconut cream pie and green salad which is an old recipe using lime jello, whipping cream, pineapple and cream cheese. Maybe this year I will make the cheesy potatoes instead as they look tasty!
This menu looks spot on to me! Our traditional Easter dinner consists of a smoked ham, cheesy potatoes, roasted fresh green beans, rustic bread with oil and vinegar, and something delicious for dessert! It may need to be your banana pudding this year…
I just love a nice turkey breast with mash potatos and gravy. asparagus for a healthy green
(they are in season now). I’m not a big dessert person, but that Easter bread sure looks good! Thanks for all you great recipe ideas, Happy Easter!
We traditionally like a half ham in the crock pot with mashed red potatoes and gravy. Corn on the cob is grilled stripped and smothered in butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Homemade rolls can either be dipped in gravy or gobbed with blueberry jam. A traditional green salad dressed up with bacon bits, parm and croutons is on the side. Dessert is Gammy’s homemade apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and don’t forget sparkling cider. Cheers!!
Perfect Easter meal. I loveeee everything listed in this recipe totally.
To me it’s the full.meal deal. Mashed potatoes and gravy go well also.
my favoriye Easter dinner is ham, funeral potatoes, crockpot green beans, honey roasted carrots, and deviled eggs.
My family’s and my favorite Easter dinner is by far some good ole ham and potatoes and vegetables of course with a homemade dessert made by me obviously!!!!!!!!!
PS. I love your recipes so delicious!!
I like to make ham for Easter. Add mashed potatoes, peas, and a green salad. For the younger kids, Mac & cheese. Deviled eggs and a wonderful decadent dessert, makes all the kids come home for dinner!
Love Ham, mashed potatoes, and gravy from the Ham juices!
The recipe sounds great. . I love ham for Easter & you have to have deviled eggs. We used to eat the eggs we colored & hid until learned that was not such a good idea. But we still hid them for the kids & do a big Easter egg hunt at church for the kids as well.
Traditionsl usually ham and meatballs ukraian food tooo
Yummy
We have ham, sweet potatoes, son’s famous lettuce salad, olives, homemade pickles, daughter’s Deviled eggs, ‘Butcher Block Or’derves’, D in L’s potato salad, MY German potato salad, other son’s buns and cakes that someone always brings!
We love the traditional ham dinner. We make garlic mashed potatoes with it and also maybe roasted Mediterranean vegetables as a side. A nice big green salad with all the trimmings in it. Yummy fresh warm bread, also we have a ricotta cheesecake.
I go totally for the traditional dinner; ham, funeral potatoes, fresh vegetables and a lemony dessert.
I think I am going to try this–I never make ham! We are usually camping over the holiday but we always have funeral potatoes. I like the ease of making all of these dishes, especially the crock pot ham and the asparagus!
Our “traditional” Easter dinner, isn’t. BBQ ribs, baked beans, potato salad, corn, mac & cheese and rolls.
My favorite Easter dinner tradition is roasted leg of lamb. Being from a Catholic Italian family that is what we have most years.
My favorite Easter tradition is when my whole family gets together for Easter dinner.
This is the perfect traditional Easter dinner!
We are a traditional ham, potatoes, asparagus family. Tried a rib roast one time but didn’t turn out well. Love the other recipes and will try them out.
The last few years we have had BBQ ribs, Cheesy Potaoes, Baked Beans, Rolls and a
Lemon Delight for dessert.
My favorite meal for Easter is ham with dressing and butter beans or field peas also potato salad.
We typically have a spiral ham with all the sides that our family enjoys like green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, deviled eggs, and homemade yeast rolls. For dessert its a coconut layered cake- love spending time in the kitchen with my family around the holidays.
Please don’t use boxed pudding and ruin a great looking Nana Puddin’. The make from scratch is not that hard. Flour, sugar, butter, and vanilla. The other recipes look great.
So many recipe ideas. I like the sautéed asparagus. Then chessman cookies with bananas. The crock
Pot pork chops sounded so different and I think it would be moist and tender
Ham is usually what we’ve done in the past but this year I might try rainbow trout ( I prefer over salmon). But scalloped potatoes are always a must however I may try crock pot au gratin this year.
Delicious traditional Easter dinner. You can’t go wrong with this one.
My favorite Easter tradition is dying and hiding eggs for the kids and or dogs since the kids are grown. We now eat the dyed eggs and put out plastic eggs with treats inside for the dogs to find. Of course after they find them, we open them and get the treats out for them. Traditionally we cook ham, mashed or scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, and homemade rolls with whipped butter and cream cheese.
amazzzzzziiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg I love it soooo much!
Pasties 🥧 (Irish dish composed of roast beef slow cooked and potatoes in a pie crust covered in beef gravy) ♥.
That is one of our favorites as well! We have a yummy recipe for it: https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/irish-pasties/
Traditionally I make a ham for Easter dinner, this year I am going to do a beef roast with mushroom gravy, roasted red potatoes, asparagus and a salad (not sure yet what kind). For dessert I make my single layer carrot cake with a poured glazed that soaks into the cake. My recipe makes 2 so we eat one and freeze one.
Loved the over roast… delicious!
Always deviled eggs, spiral ham, and a mac & cheese dish. The Four Layer Banana Pudding will be on my table as well – looks delicious!
Thanks for your great recipes. I appreciate all the photos and how easy they are to follow. Hope you have a blessed Easter!
My favorite Easter menu item is the ham…..juicy homemade ham! I’ll be trying this crock pot ham for sure.
I will be making the crockpot ham with maple glaze. Maple being a favorite flavor for me. The side dish of creamed potatoes and peas looks amazing! I remember having this as a child at Easter. The peas and baby potatoes make it look Spring fresh. Dessert is a toss up between a lemon Bundt or the coconut cake. Thank you for all the scrumptious recipes to make this years Easter celebration a hit.
Thanks for this great post! Everything looks amazing!! We normally have ham and baked potatoes for Easter, but this year we will be eating at a restaurant near my daughter’s college. Looking forward to a nice brunch with no dirty dishes to clean up!
Brilliant ham recipe and easy
Gotta have cheesy potatoes, ham rollups and strawberry pretzel salad at every Easter dinner
My favorite Easter meal is ham, potato, macaroni, and pasta salads, baked beans, deviled eggs, and homemade yeast rolls. For dessert, a coconut cake shaped into a lamb ( I use the same shaped cake pan my mother did) For me holiday meals are filled with tradition and family.
My favorite & what I’m planning on making is the lemon salmon with asparagus. Not sure on which side yet but banana pudding for desert. All easy & super yummy so while I’m going to be cooking I’ll still be able to relax a bit. That’s a win win in my book
Perfect Easter dinner would be a mix of Georgian kachapuri, wine, some fresh bread and some nice lamb with the entire family at the dinner table.

Easter to me means church with family and then a family dinner. Easter family dinner is smoked ham, deviled eggs, homemade dinner rolls and various sides and desserts.
I love spiral ham at Easter and I would try the recipe on this site because the ingredients are things I already have in my pantry. Easter ham, scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, ambrosia salad, pickled eggs (because we always have an abundance of boiled eggs that have been dyed thanks to the grandkids), coconut cream pie, lemonade and iced tea and at everyone’s place setting – there’s a chocolate bunny. Daffodils and tulips on the table complete the picture. I love Easter!
Ham Potatoes Key lime pie Sauté asparagus macronic and cheese rolls
Ham
My favorite Easter meal is Honey Baked Ham, potato salad, green beans, deviled eggs, pineapple casserole and Parker House rolls! Why is my mouth watering as I’m typing this?? Yum
I loved the brown sugar ham in the crockpot recipe! But our favorite Easter tradition is having Goldenrod eggs over sausage or ham topped biscuits with a side of roasted asparagus. That would be a bechamel with chopped hard cooked egg whites spooned over the sausage ir ham topped biscuits, then sprinkled with the hard cooked egg yolks that have Bern pressed through a sieve (the “goldenrod” part) and topped with paprika (or cayenne flakes for those who want some heat).
My favorite dish is deviled eggs. Each year various on the main dish from ham to ribeye roast. A must are rolls and dessert. My favorite part of Easter is churchgoing followed by meal with family. He is risen indeed.
My favorite and traditional Easter dinner is glazed ham, scalloped potatoes, corn casserole, bowtie noodles, rolls, butter and grape punch. The deserts vary depending on who brings it and what was a hit the previous year. Flashlight egg hunts also top off the list of favorite things to do for Easter. Everyone looks forward to eating candy throughout the day.
Always excited to get new recipes from your site.❤️
My favorite Easter dinner is ham with cheesy potatoes. The rest is contributed by everyone coming…..it varies each year. Our dessert is usually something springy.

Yummy Roast Pork with Apple Sauce and all the roast veggies and peas and corn. Just love sitting down to this on a Sunday evening.
In our family our staple base menu has always been Pineapple Ham with mashed potatoes and steamed brocoli… the rest of the menu depends on who’s coming and what they’ll bring.
I usually have smoked salmon as an entree, deviled eggs is a must as well, some homemade rolls, a spinach salad to accompany the main meal, and whatever scrumptious chocolate dessert I can come up with. 😉 We rarely go hungry.

My favorite Easter dinner is now brunch and a nap 🤭. Strawberry cream cheese stuffed waffles, scrambled eggs with cheddar, sour cream and salsa, bacon (extra chewy), OJ, and hot chocolate with real whipped cream. By the time it is dinner time I’m just beginning to feel normal.
I love Easter Dinner with Ham and Party Potatoes, but one of my favorite things is brunch. We still serve Ham and the potatoes, but add a French toast bake and egg bake… wonderful!

Our favorite Easter dinner is Heavenly Ham from a locally owned grocer, sweet potatoes, grill asparagus, roasted green beans, deviled eggs, last summer’s peaches that were frozen and of course, pies, pies and more pies. (my family loves pie). I’ll make key lime pie, chocolate peanut butter pie, a cheesecake pie and fudge pie. If time allows, we’ll whip up some homemade vanilla ice cream.
The best part is all the family together, the Easter egg hunt in the morning and the grandkids counting the nickel and dimes that were in the plastic eggs.
Fabulous recipes.

Every Easter I make my own honey baked ham, deviled eggs (grandmother’s recipe), cheesy potato casserole, asparagus with hollandaise, quiche, fruit salad, homemade angel food cake with dehydrated strawberries in the whipped cream AND strawberries on the side, mini lemon pound cake egg cakes with pastel colored glaze frosting… and don’t forget the mimosas!

My sweet potato casserole is a favorite on every special occasion.
My dinner is honey baked ham, mac and cheese, deviled eggs, black eye peas, mashed potatos and apple pie and German chocolate cake.
Our favorite Easter is one with turkey sliders, calico beans, potato salad, chips and brownies for dessert. The middle of the huge dining table holds colored eggs, various candies and Easter grass in a big flat basket. The best part are those around the table, always 💕
Easter Dinner: Well, my Dad would bring home a ham butt and do the cooking normally. He would push Allspice in (I did Not like them) he put it in a Roasting Pan with about 1/2” of a concoction he got from Northern Maine and tent it. He and my Mother would make Scalloped Potatoes, Asparagus and Creamed Onions. There were No Spiral Cut Hans in those days, 65+ years ago! Dad would baste it every 30-45 minutes or so. In the meantime he prepared an Orange Glaze similar to Marmalade that would go on for the final hour. We’d all have some on our plates to spread on the Ham after Dad served it. He would spend 10+ minutes carving it up. Before we had any Ham we would have a simple appetizer of Deviled Eggs and Pickled Herring, a Swedish tradition.
My family’s favorite Easter side is scalloped potatoes and our favorite dessert is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
My favorite Easter dinner is hands down the traditional dinner of ham, scalloped potatoes (although the idea of Cheesy Potato Casserole-aka Funeral Potatoes is happening this Easter!), green beans, homemade rolls, and Coconut Cake for dessert.
We host Easter brunch at our home. Because we are in Florida, we have the wonderful opportunity to set up tables outdoors on our covered deck. I always make Eggs A’la Goldenrod as everyone looks forward to and love this dish. I also serve a French toast casserole, scrambled eggs, a few bagels and rolls, our traditional Italian Ricotta Pie and a chocolate no-flour cake, bacon, sausage and ham. Because we have vegetarians, meat eaters, vegan and gluten free guests, it gets busy for me in the kitchen. The shortcut of being able to cook the ham in a crock-pot is very helpful. The key-lime pie may be a nice addition to the pastry table. Thank you.
I love this stuff for Easter. I usually make a spiral ham, mashed potatoes and sweet corn. Sometimes I make home made rolls (it depends if I’m up to it or not). I usually have an Easter egg hunt for my grandchildren before dinner (phew!) that’s why I said if I’m up to it lol. My daughter brings the dessert. She always makes something good too lol
I would service a pineapple bread pudding with the dinner. It goes beautifully with the ham .. there are many recipes for it on the internet.
Brown sugar ham
Scalloped potatoes
Home canned green beans
Home frozen creamed corn
Broccoli casserole
7 layer salad
Rolls
Deviled eggs
We always have several homemade desserts
Mom always makes pies (coconut, brown sugar, pecan, sweet potato, chocolate (picks 2)
Peanut butter cake or mixed chip bundt cake
My daughter makes cookies
We always have too much food! Lol
Hi,
I make honey baked ham, no spiral, mashed potatoes with red chile, corn pudding, tossed salad, and Amish potato rolls. Rolls made large enough for sandwiches the next day or ham and potato chowder……mmmmm I’m getting hungry.
My Easter tradition is making a Lamb cake for Easter dessert and Italian lemon cookies!
I love your ham recipe. What could be
nicer than the bunny cake to finish the meal!!
Delicious. My dinner is cole slaw, corn pudding, ham, sweet potato casserole, and coconut cake.
I love funeral potatoes, raspberry pretzel salad, and a good lemon cheesecake.
The ham is delicious! I like having a menu for a complete meal. Really helpful for busy cooks. My own favorites for Easter dinner always include ham, potato salad, and fresh asparagus. For dessert, lemon meringue pie really says springtime to me, and kids always love cakes that look like a bunny. Easter memories last a lifetime!
These are all my favorites. For dessert I would usually make the “Pina Colada Poke cake”. Recently, everyone was too stuffed for a big dessert.
We have always had ham mashed potatoes and gravy and corn and rolls , Grandma Bell always made the pies on pecan, one pumpkin, lemon meringue and banana cream.
We celebrate our Easter at noon with a delicious brunch. We have egg casseroles, French toast, ham, biscuits tons and tons of bacon, coffee cakes. After eating we butt eggs. We all pick a hard boiled decorated egg . We start with the youngest and go around in a circle until one person has at least one end of their egg not broken. I am 82 years old and have done this with family since I was born.
Love the hard boiled eggs
In South Georgia I prepare our favorites: Honey baked ham, potato salad, English peas, strawberry pretzel salad , Baby blue salad, yeast rolls, Lemon coconut cake, Chocolate cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
Love the ham recipe and scalloped potatoes
… actually I love all your recipes but for easter, that’s our favorite..then with a lamb cake!
I would make this for my sisters and their family but I don’t eat meat so I would have shrimp with all the sides. My own favorite Easter dinner would be fish, fresh garden salad, green bean casserole and for dessert the English Trifle recipe I grew up with.
I like the way this recipe was presented as a complete meal – really helpful to a new cook.
HAPPY EASTER and thank you for the recipes.
It used to be a big ham dinner with all the fixings. Now I’m alone, husband passed, kids are far away. So it’s a bone in ham slice, my grandmother’s baked corn, sautéed asparagus, mashed potatoes and gravy. Dessert this year will be banana bread cupcakes. Plenty left for the next day.
We always have a wonderful ham, german potato salad, fresh green beans with bacon and freshly baked dinner rolls (with real butter)
Love the banana pudding recipe above!
We always change up Easter dinners. But the favorite dinner is baked ham, sweet potato casserole, A tossed green salad, homemade sour dough rolls, asparagus Spears, and for dessert Cheesecake. Family time is always the best part of Easter!
My family’s favourite Easter lunch (where I live, it’s lunch when we get together) is asado. We are a very meat-centre country and we celebrate we’re allowed meat again with a feast of it *laughs*
We will celebrate with honey baked ham, smoked turkey breast, scalloped potatoes (by daughter in law), Mac & cheese, deviled eggs topped with a jalapeño slice, green bean casserole, Texas Roadhouse rolls, and Rum Cake!
In our family my nana had a bunny cake pan that she gifted my daughter and after she passed my daughter had promised to make that cake for Easter and she has now she is a mom and she will have a blast with her son like i did with my nana. I miss family traditions.
We love ham, macaroni and cheese, green beans, sweet potato casserole, broccoli casserole, deviled eggs, rolls, and banana pudding. I put my ham or macaroni and cheese in my crockpot. I have more room in my oven for my sweet potato casserole and broccoli casserole. I use leftover ham for omelets or ham sandwiches/biscuits.
Looking guests to trying some of these recipes. We don’t have a set Easter meal menu. Make various deserts for family’s but whatever is on hand works for us.
Excellent! Has become one of our favs.
I love this so does everyone else in my family 10/10❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yum!
I love this recipe. For Easter Dinner, I love to make Ham, Funeral Potatoes and asparagus. For dessert and Angel food cake is perfect.
My favourite Easter meal is Scalloped potatoes Au Gratin, baked Honey Ham, peas and rolls.
My family and I love Easter ham with potatoes and corn and kings Hawaiian rolls. I won’t be making one the eater money is just too tight. I am making a homemade carrot cake though!
I love the sides the best. My Grandma always made Watergate Salad with the pistachio pudding and pineapple and heart attack potatoes. Then there is her homemade bread to die for.
What a great menu. We have had a similar menu passed down from my mother and mother-in-law. We cannot go without the Company Potatoes my mother-in-law made every year. I also made the same bunny cake.
I will be making your Four Layer Banana Pudding. I believe the grandchildren will love it.
Love the menu have tried all lthe recipes.
I love the recipes. And trying new recipes.
My family’s favorite Easter Dinner is ham, potato casserole, white shoe-peg sweet corn, deviled eggs, dinner rolls and for dessert, coconut cake, lemon meringue pie, and chocolate cream pie.
This looks great! When I was young, my Nana would have turkey. My mom later started cooking a fabulous leg of lamb with little potatoes alongside. WOW! I wish I could have lamb like that at Easter again.
The potato salad ham asparagus is going to be my Easter dinner
I make an easy corned beef dinner on St Patty’s day. One can corned beef, one can tomato sauce, chopped cabbage and a little water. Serve over rice.
Great
Love your Easter menu. It’s much the same as ours other than we will also grill a tri tip or 2 depending on how many we are hosting. Deviled eggs are a must! And who doesn’t like creamed peas! Thank you for sharing!
Very traditional but we have a family and friends potluck and Easter egg hunt for the kids after church. We have all kinds of wonderful food and a ton of desserts. If the weather permits we eat outside. Sometimes was can up to 30 or more. If you leave hungry, well I can’t even imagine🥰
Love the cheesy potatoes using mushroom soap. Great idea.
MY favorite Easter dinner is all about the bread and sides! Cheesy potato casserole, homemade rolls, or easter bread looks fantastic, and spring vegetables, like asparagus!! AS time goes on, I am less a fan of ham. (That should be a song, “less a fan of ham.” ) I would replace it with some yummy chicken with an amazing honey garlic sauce! THAT would be a fantastic and favorite Easter dinner! Oh and that fabulous Mandarin Orange cake!
Delicious is what I remember our Easter dinner being when I was growing up with 6 younger siblings. Everyone had to enjoy and everyone got to participate in making it. It was usually a ham with garlic mashed potatoes and peas for the main meal. We did have a salad and then for the treat afterwards was sometimes a vanilla frosted lamb cake with ice cream.
I absolutely love creamed peas! The whole menu sounds delicious, but give me all of those creamed peas!
Our family loves a prime rib for Easter dinner.
Can’t wait to make this on Saturday for an early Easter family dinner and the weekend after for my husband’s side when they are at our home.
My favorite things that I make and gets requested is a macaroni, corn and cheese recipe. One year I didn’t make it and the family gave me so much business about not making it. They make me make it for every holiday gathering. That and the bunny cake that you have posted. Two of my aunts have their names on each ear to take home with them.
Love the recipes!
Looks like a Southern Easter dinner!
I grew up with a baked ham and red eye gravy, deviled eggs, potato salad, homemade yeast rolls and asparagus, sometimes macaroni and cheese instead of potato salad.
Growing up in Hawaii in the 60’s we ate Spam and rice for Easter. If we were lucky, we’d get Kalua Pork and coleslaw.
Today we eat ham and I’ve found a really good Kalua Pork slow cooker recipe I can use here in Seattle.
I love a traditional Easter Dinner and the food show for your Traditional Easter Dinner is the exact same as we I have done for years. You can’t go wrong with any of those foods. We have made it quite a tradition in our family and no reason to change it as everyone loves it!
My favorite Easter dinner is ham, scalloped potatoes and green beans
We usually have honey & brown sugar glazed ham, mashed potatoes, dumplings, green bean’s, candied carrot’s & green salad with strawberries & orange’s. We have several different pie’s, cheesecake, cupcake’s & cream horn’s. All homemade of course. My family have different taste & I like to please them all.
This is a great recipe. In my house, we have ham, baked beans and deviled eggs. And any extras upon request.
This this is a wonderful Easter meal. The banana pudding sounds delicious. I usually make a cheesecake with fresh strawberries on top . Love all of your recipes. Oh have to have deviled eggs also
My favorite traditional Easter dinner is all about the sides. Potato salad, deviled eggs, and macaroni and cheese. Banana pudding for dessert
For Easter, always lamb as the center of the dish, and must have some sort of lemony dessert!
Easter dinner has to be roast lamb. All my family sit together and enjoy each others company, and especially the food. Pudding might be a key lime pie, or something similar.
The Chessmen Banana Pudding has now become a family favorite. Thank you
Potato Salad recipe is fantastic tasting and easy to make.
So delicious and appetizing looking!
My favorite Easter dinner is ham, cheesy potato casserole and asparagus. I can’t wait to add the banana pudding into the tradition. And we always have mac n cheese for all the kids! Happy Easter everyone! 🐰 🐣
Our traditional Easter dinner is turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberries, creamed corn casserole, pickles, jello salad, and carrots. Our tradition is to do this meal on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yes, same meal for all occasions. The only item that changes is the dessert. Usually pie though.
All of these recipes are great! I have tried most of them already but have seen some tweaks I can use.
I am planning on ham, garlic mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, salad, knoxblocks for the young grandchilldren, and carrot cake for dessert…
We always had roast leg of lamb, sometimes also had ham, always had mashed potates, carrots & asparagus with hollandaise sauce
Ham with pineapple and maple syrup. Baked macaroni and cheese. Deviled eggs 🥚. Mashed potatoes and gravy.
We have to make deviled eggs with ham and we do the old fashion way of making banana pudding but this year we will try the 4 layer banana pudding recipe. Yummy
For years and years ham for Easter has been our family tradition. I loved it as a child when my mother prepared it, I shared it with my beloved husband when we were married and now tradition has been passed on to our son and daughter. Cannot go wrong with ham, potatoes, 1 – 2 veggie casseroles and warm, buttered rolls!
Glazed spiral ham, scalloped potatoes, oven-roasted asparagus, buttermilk dinner rolls, and layered carrot cake for dessert! 🙂 Happy Easter, everyone!
traditional easter dinner at this house
Crockpot Ham, baked beans. And corn pudding are my go to Easter Dishes. The Cheesy Potatoes will make a great addition.
Love these ideas! To me the perfect meal for Easter is honey baked ham with green beans & mashed potatoes with dutch apple pie for dessert!
Love using your recipes
Easter Dinner includes honey-glazed ham, rosemary-infused lamb chops, smashed redskins, cheesy hash brown casserole, homemade Mac n cheese, sweet potato casserole, asparagus with hollandaise, pickled eggs, deviled eggs, roasted Brussel sprouts, rolls and we love the chessman banana cream pie! Of course, there are more delicious desserts, but the chessman banana cream pie is permanently gone.
Easter sweet bread is a must at Easter. Other favourites are ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans and a pistachio lush. I also make homemade dinner rolls. Lemon meringue pie always finishes off our dinner.
All looks good! Our tradition is also ham, candied sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, etc. but this year my hubby has requested a garlic herb flavored pork loin from Smithfield and butternut squash. Still have to make the deviled eggs, though!! I’ll try your recipe for this year’s dessert since we don’t have a traditional Easter dessert.
Both the crockpot ham and cheesy potatoes are my go to Easter. You just can’t wrong with this delicious food.
Ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, sweet Hawaiian rolls with butter and desserts Mom and Gram(s) always make our holiday meals so special and delicious. I can’t wait to try the 4 layer banana pudding and the cheesy potato casserole as they sound soooo good. Thank you for such wonderful ideas/recipes
I just went through every recipe.
I can’t wait to make the 4 layer banana pudding. It’s my husband ‘s favorite and this version will have him smiling all day!!
I love the flavors and the appearance of these recipes!
I woke up stressed out that I haven’t pulled together a plan for Easter dinner. You have saved me!!!
These recipes are just what I needed!!!
Happy Easter to you and your family 😊
I love all the recipes posted but if I had to pick one it would be the glazed ham and cheese potatoes. Ham always seemed traditional at Easter at my moms house and it brings back warm memories with the family around the table. I really like the Easter Bread. It adds colour and it is special for the little ones.
I love all the recipes that you have on here.
The cheesy potato casserole! So good!!! Didn’t change anything and wouldn’t change anything. My daughter makes a version with fresh diced potatoes and I like this recipe better, by far! The cubed potatoes give too much potato. This recipe is a much better blend.
Love the strawberry pretzel salad and definitely want to try the sweet asparagus!
Just wanted to let you know I tried the Coconut Cream Pie recipe from last week. It took time to make but everyone raved and I don’t think I’ve had better.
Thank you so much. Enjoy your recipes/
Cheesy potato casserole is a family favorite and me make ours the same as you do yours! Love it! 🙂 Happy Easter everyone!
These recipes for the Easter dinner menu are the best for the perfect Easter dinner. It brings back memories from the past of the family Easter festivities when my parents were still alive, and everyone gathered for this annual meal. It’s a tradition worth continuing. The spiral ham and cheesy potato casserole are my favorites.
The slow cooker ham with brown sugar and maple….the cheesy potato casserole are my pick. At 84 years of age, quick and easy are the only way to go. Thanks so much for the recipes.
A blessed Easter to all.
All of the recipes look wonderful. I think the potato casserole and the four layer banana pudding are my favorite.
It’s hard for me to choose between the Easy Key Like Pie or the Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Both are 5 stars! Happy Easter everyone! He is Risen!
This is my favorite meal. Love asparagus and those potatoes are great. And who would not have the ham. Yum, yum, yum Then for desert Coconut Cream Pie. Your recipes are the best ever.
Our family loves these Easter recipes, especially the Strawberry Pretzel Salad! An added bonus in this post is the idea list for leftover ham, which we tend to have. One favorite of ours is the Ham Fried Rice. It’s quick and easy, filling, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with Asian-themed meals. It also feeds an army. Win win!
I have to say the spiral ham would be my favorite. Although I think you have some, actually, the most, of the best recipes around! Just saying!! Maybe with some half baked potatoes and asparagus then coconut crème pie for desert and the bunny cake for the kids! Happy Easter
I think you have the best recipes. Happy Easter!
I love the crock pot ham recipe & cheesy potatoes.
Thank you so much for all of these delicious recipes.
Nancy
I picked the Instant pot Pot Roast & Gravy recipe. It’s a family favorite & the leftovers are wonderful too! I love the quicker cooking method with instant pots!
Family loves, ham, cheesy potatoes and asparagus. I usually make a carrot cake, but, your lemon bundt cake looks so good I think I will make that this year., wish me luck breaking tradition.
Thank you for showing so many wonderful recipes that helped me plan my Easter dinner.
I will be making the Slow Cooker Ham with Maple and Brown Sugar. When I made this before it was a hit and left my oven free for other things. One thing that I will add that is not on your list is my sister’s recipe for a wonderful mustard sauce that is to die for and that will be served on the side. To that I will add the Perfect Mashed Potatoes, the Sweet Sauteed Asparagus, and Homemade Dinner Rolls. For dessert, it will be everyone’s favourite, Coconut Cream Pie. Yum
I’m a huge fan of the ham, cheesey potatoes. Asparagus and deviled eggs. So yummy.
I’m also in love with the Panoramic Sugar Easter Eggs. I have made 26 of them in the last two weeks. Some with my Grandkids and some with my Primary Activity Day Girls. Everyone has so much fun making them.
The ham makes my mouth water
I love that bunny cake! I want to make it with my grandkids this year!
Lemon Meringue Pie. It tastes just like the good old fashioned kind.
It’s a toss between Key lime Pie and Lemon Bundt Cake.
Thanks for the lovely recipes.
The ham is the star of celebration and is so yummy and delicious
Think Im going to follow this for my Easter dinner this year… Sounds so yummy!!
The oven roast beef sounds absolutely delicious!!! Happy Easter! Lori Johnson
My grands love the Easter Bunny Cake!
classic meal, roast beef, cream potatos, roasted asparagus and rolls
Bunny cake is always a hit with the grandchildren and they love helping make it and adding the decorative details!
Funeral potatoes are also a 5 star item. Easy to prepare and they feed a crowd!
The baked salmon, with lemon was absolutely delicious. This is my favorite!
I think I will go with the traditional Easter dinner as shown this year. I love how you show the whole dinner for us so we don’t have to put more thought into it. The banana pudding and cheesy potato casserole are favorites here. I’ve never tried the ham in the crockpot, so that will be new, along with sweet asparagus. I may also make our favorite honey butter carrots. I would love to try the beautiful Easter bread with the colored eggs and the cute bunny cake; but I have to be realistic about how much I can actually do without exhausting myself before everyone gets here! 😂
Coconut cream cake. Love it, it’s so good
Perfect recipe for Easter or anytime
Slow cooker spiral ham
I LUV ALLLL THE EASTER FOOD DISHES YOU HAV SHOWN. 😋😋
I LUV THE HAM & MAC./CHEESE
WE ALWAYS HAV A BIG CRAWFISH BOIL & ALLLL SIDES THAT GO WITH THE BOIL. —POTATOES, ONIONS, MUSHROOMS,CARROTS, CORN,
DATS UH MEAL BY ITSELF.
SOME GRANDKIDS DONT EAT CRAWFISH SO HAM/MAC. R FOR THOSE. 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
THEN ALL DESSERTS 😱😱😱😱
CANT GO WITHOUT THEM. 😂😂
Thank you, Amy! That sounds like an amazing Easter dinner. Happy Easter!
Love the crock pot brown sugar ham. We look forward to it each Easter the rest is just over the top! Rolls fill the house with an amazing aroma along with the ham. The asparagus is a must for my girls. I’ve always roasted it, but I’m going to try the sweet recipe this time.
Thank you, Laurie! I’m so happy you enjoy the ham!
We love the herb crusted salmon and strawberry pretzel salad!
All of these sound delicious. My favorite is the brown sugar ham with creamy cheesy potatoes casserole.
Everything looks delicious but I think I would choose the Traditional Easter Dinner. We always have ham and asparagus at Easter and the Funeral Potatoes just set it off.
I love making fresh bread and the Homemade Dinner Rolls is the Best!!!!
Sounds delicious! Happy Easter!
I love the Easter bread and oven roasted asparagus.
I will try the ham recipe. my ham is always dry. this seems sure to be moist
It is! You are going to love it!
Herb roasted salmon
The Honey Baked Ham would be my choice of best recipe! Star of the show for way less than buying it ‘honeyed’ for you! Thanks for the chance to win!
Yes, it is less expensive to make which is very nice. Thank you! Happy Easter!
My favorite from this list of delicious goodies is the “Four Layer Banana Pudding!” Thank you! Take care and have a nice Easter! Lisa
Thank you, Lisa. Happy Easter to you!
I love the creamed peas and potatoes recipe, its a winner in my house for easter
I’m not home for Easter this year, but if home I would do a traditional Easter dinner. I would add your recipe for peas. I can’t wait to get home to try that one. I hope that you and your family have a blessed Easter season. Thank you for your wonderful recipes!
Thank you, Mary. Safe travels and Happy Easter!
Looking forward to making the cheesy potato casserole. 5 stars!!!
Honey baked ham in the oven is the best.I make a similar version every year for Easter.
This is as good if not better than the original recipe !
My favorite is Oven Roasted Asparagus. I’ve always been afraid of serving guests Asparagus not being confident in it coming out right and this Oven Roasted Asparagus is fantastic. Now I can serve it to dinner guests and feel confident.
Thank you so much for All your recipes.
Oven Roast Beef is always a winner for my Easter Dinner. Amazing rich flavors, easy to prepare and cook. Lots of side dishes makes this Easter meal a winner every year.
Four layer Banana Pudding and Cheesy Potato Casserold
My favorite Easter dinner selection is the Traditional Easter Dinner.
I would definitely give this recipe 5 stars!!
Thank you, Mary!
I’m anxious to try the Slow Cooker Spiral Ham with maple syrup, brown sugar and pineapple juice. The flavors and tenderness of the ham cooked in a slow cooker will be perfect. Funeral potatoes are a favorite as well. Its so true, here in Utah, they are a staple at funerals and I never get tired of them.
Thank you, Marti! I hope you enjoy the ham. It is delicious! I never get tired of funeral potatoes either. They are just so good. 🙂
All of them look delicious, but for Easter, I would have to say the honey baked ham, with Mash Potatoes and Vegetables. For dessert, my family and I would have the Lemon Bundt Cake. I would give it 5 Stars.
Thank you so much, Lucila!
Cheesy potato casserole is my favorite Easter side dish.
I’m loving the slow cooker ham with maple and brown sugar. It looks delicious and I think my hubby would definitely approve.
Slow-cooked spiral ham. We always have ham at Easter with cheesy potatoes, salad, homemade rolls, and a bunny cake made by the kids or grandchildren. That’s how it has been and continues to be done in our home. Good times and fun with an Easter egg hunt.
I love these traditions! Thank you for sharing!
Going to make this for our Easter brunch! Looks delicious.
The spiral slow cooker ham recipe. I love the idea of cooking in a slow cooker especially for a spiral because they can dry out in the oven. Love the ingredients.
The creamed peas and potatoes is my favorite! My dad did the cooking in our house and he always made me creamed peas…this brings back so many memories that I hold dear. He passed away in Jan 2011 and I miss him so, but this warms my heart!
Hello! Happy Easter!!! We are making the oven roast beef, cheesy potato casserole ,Ericas roasted potatoes with brussels sprouts, for our dinner. We are entertaining the new in-laws and I have tried all of these recipes, so my confidence level is very high! I love your web site. I also have 2 sisters and we are spread across the country. Reading your girls stories makes me feel closer to them. Thank you!!!
Sisters are the best! ❤️ Thank you, Susie! Happy Easter to you! Thank you for your comment. I’m so happy you enjoy our recipes!
I love the Easter Bread Recipe. Reminds me of growing up.
Great recipes! Love the way there is ideas for the leftovers too. The ham was amazing, along with everything else we made. Thanks
Thank you! I’m glad you liked the ham!
The Easter bread recipe will be a family treat to try this Easter. It looks so delicious and I know I will have to make many.
That Easter Bunny cake has to be my choice for favourite! It reminds me of a birthday cake my twin sister and I had for like 3 years running when we were younger. It brings back all the feels so I think I’ll tackle it this Easter to share with my family!
The Funeral Potatoes are the best!! I make them for Easter and Christmas Eve and the pan is always scraped clean! Thanks for sharing your great recipes!
My kids love the funeral potatoes too. It’s one of their most requested sides at Easter. Thank you!
I always love the Strawberry pretzel salad recipe a family favorite highly recommend trying it you’ll be hooked. Thanks for the recipes they are always great.
Thank you, Ginger! The strawberry pretzel salad is always a hit! Have you ever tried it with raspberries? It’s a great substitute if strawberries aren’t in season yet.
I love the slow cooker ham recipe. Cooking a ham in the slow cooker leaves the oven for other sides. A great time saver when planning your Easter Meal. You can also have easy clean up if you use a slow cooker liner!
The creamy potatoes and peas is my favorite. My dad made something similar, but with the addition of carrots.
Good to know! I’ve never tried it with carrots. That would make it such a colorful dish. Thank you for sharing!
I love the Easter bread recipe. My grandma used to make something similar to this when I was growing up. I can’t wait to try it out!
Made the Banana Pudding Dessert and it was great.
I love the honey baked ham for Easter. We usually have ham for Easter. It just would not seem like Easter without a ham.
Agreed! Thank you!
I love the Baked Salmon with Lemon. So delicious!!
I’m so glad you like the recipe. I love salmon as well. Thank you!
honey slow cooker ham and cheesy potato casserole looks amazing and if it is like your other recipes it will be! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Pam!
The spiral crockpot ham would be my favorite. Love to make pea soup with leftovers. Woud put the lemon pie with it for dessert.
Thank you, Linda! I buy a big ham just so I can have leftovers for the pea soup.
The coconut cream pie reminds me of my grandmas recipe, I am excited to try it out for Easter!
You are going to love it!
I’m torn between the honey baked ham and the salmon with lemon sauce. The ham is a traditional favorite and the salmon is light and fresh. Luckily, the family is coming for Easter dinner!
Both great choices! Enjoy Easter and your family! 🙂
As for faves, it’s a toss up between the cheesy potato casserole and the lemon Bundt cake! They are both just amazing!
Thank you, Missy! Happy Easter!
Creamy Potato Salad would have to be my favorite. I have made several different types of potato salad, but this one is the best. It is my go to recipe.
Awww… thank you so much, Angie! My mom made it all the time in spring and summer, and I have so many wonderful memories associated with this recipe. I’m so happy you like it too.
Baked Salmon with lemon sound so good!!! Looks like it’s my favorite!!
My favorite is Spiral ham and cheesy potatoes I made at Christmas and making again for Easter. Love it and Thank you.
Thank you, Debra! Have a wonderful Easter!
Honey Baked Ham (Copycat Recipe)
would probably be my favorite Easter recipe! Hopefully, I can try it this year!
The slow cooker spiral ham will definately be hitting our Easter table this year! thank you for all the wonderful recipies. My better half will also love the Banana Pudding for dessert.
Thank you, Brenda! Enjoy the ham and the banana pudding!
My easter supper choice would be the ham, funeral potatoes, roasted asparagus, deviled eggs and coconut cake. Yummy, but then all of your recipes are great! Thanks!
Thank you, Robin! 😀
I love alll the recipes but I’ll have to say my favorite is the honey baked ham and homemade Mac n cheese! Those are def my go to recipes for Easter I love it!
Thank you, Kinna! Happy Easter!
The Ham and potatoe Easter Dinner is by far the best. And who doesn’t love Banana Pudding for desert.
Thank you, Gary! I agree with you!
Hard to choose but decided on the Honey Baked Ham Recipe
Great choice! Thank you!
Can’t go wrong with this recipe
I love the Easter Bread recipe! I also love many of the other recipes! Thank you so much for all your great recipes!
Oh My Gosh!!! It is so hard to choose! I honestly can’t make them all but to start I am going to make the Honey Baked Ham. Thank you so much for all these delicious recipes!! Your site is one of my favorites. 🙂 Happy Easter!
Awww…thank you so much, April! Happy Easter!
i would say the ham and the Potatoe Menu would be the one i would choose to make this easter, but i am also going to try the other ones as well another day, they all look so good.
Perfectly fresh ideas for our Easter Dinner. Our favorite has to be the Roasted Beef. It will be a fun change for our spring table!!
Thank you for posting the Coconut Cream Cake recipe! I have looked for years for a recipe like this. My Aunt Kate used to make a cake like this many years ago but I had lost her recipe. My brothers are thrilled as well!
You are so welcome! The Coconut Cream Cake is divine. I hope you all enjoy every bite!
Cheesy potato casserole will be on my Easter menu…nice recipe
Thank you, Sue! Happy Easter!
My favorite recipe is the Honey Baked Ham. Can’t wait to make it this year.
Thank you, Michelle!
I love the Easter Ham, Asparagus, Deviled Egg and Cheesy Potatoes and Rolls. Keep sharing your delicious recipes!
We will! Thank you, Wanda. Happy Easter!
The slow cooker spiral ham and Cheesy Potato Casserole are what I’ll be making this year! Easy prep for the ham and who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes! It’ll be a great Easter! I can’t wait.
It is nice to free up oven space with the slow cooker ham. Enjoy your Easter dinner!
Easter Bread!! Reminds me of so many past Easters that my mother in Law made this for Brunch!!
my favorite Easter dish is the cheesy potatoes.
Thank you for all the delicious Easter Dinner ideas! Now I just have to decide which ones I will be making this year!
We make a lot of these recipes! They are family favorites for sure!! Love Easter dinner!!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe! Will surely have this again! It’s really easy to make and it tasted so delicious! Highly recommended!
Easter dinner is really the only holiday where tables are filled with colorful, succulent dishes and rich, indulgent desserts. It’s an amazing feast for all the senses and the delight of the eyes and taste buds. One of the best traditional dishes that fits this roomba e6 description perfectly is ham glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce. This mouth-watering dish is then baked to perfection and coupled with a variety of delectable sides and fresh fruit salad. Vegetables and side dishes like roasted asparagus and sautéed spinach can also go on the table, as well as your favorite rolls and assorted dessert.
Made the entire Easter dinner as specified above . Amazing . Thank you
What layer does the pudding go on the banana layer cake?
Thank you
The pudding is mixed with the whipped cream mixture and added in the middle layer.
What to do w/ the vanilla pudding mix? I don’t see it in the instructions – thanks!!
Thanks for catching that! I just fixed the instructions in the recipe!
Where do you incorporate the vanilla pudding and milk into the 4 layer banana pudding recipe?
Thanks for catching that! I just fixed it in the recipe.
I can’t wait to make some of these recipes for our Easter dinner! So excited to give these a try!
This is super helpful! The ham glaze is amazing and the banana pudding has me swooning!
These are great for Easter! That coconut pie is calling my name!
Could I use a crock pot instead of slow cooker
Absolutely – Crock Pot is a brand of slow cooker, so they are basically the same thing. Thanks for asking!
These are really delicious recipes and thank you for these wonderful ideas too! Happy Easter!
My Mom always made leg of lamb for Easter dinner, served with mint jelly. Then all the traditional sides.
I love your help with the timing of dinner. Genius!! Thank you!
If you already have thick slices of ham, would it work to put the ham slices in the crockpot or will the ham “curdle?”
And would you still cook it on low?
Thank you! 🙂
You can put ham slices in crockpot.
Nice recipes, but nothing new or different than the usual dinner & sides ideas. Doesn’t anyone ever make a delicious “Leg Of Lamb” for Easter?
I agree Angelina. I’m preparing a ham and roasted lamb chops. Happy Easter!
So many great recipes in this roundup, won’t be hard to find a great combo for our Easter dinner! Thank you 🙂
I love the idea of pot roast instead of ham for Easter dinner! Thanks for so many great ideas!
