Week 51 Menu (April 4-10)

Christ the Lord is risen today, Hallelujah! Happy Easter to everyone. I love cooking for holidays and Easter is one of those that I especially love cooking for. I would usually make a large ham in the crockpot but this year we have decided to do something a little different for Easter dinner (everyone is kind of "hammed-out").

• Easter Dinner:
  Snacks - cheese and crackers, deviled eggs, and veggie tray
  Entreés - Grilled Steak w/onions and mushrooms (adults) and Hot Dogs (kiddos)
  Sides - Potato Salad, Baked Sweet Potatoes, dinner rolls
  Dessert - thought about doing a fruit tart (got a tart pan for Christmas) or my traditional Cheesecake, also thought about making a giant chocolate chip cookie or rice crispy bars (I picked up SEVERAL boxes for free with coupons)...
  
  
• Sweet potato waffles and scrambled eggs
  
  
• Steak Fajitas (I will try to get this recipe posted soon) and Mexican Rice
  
  
• Chef's Salad (Grilled Chicken, boiled eggs, ham, cheese, etc.) and maybe Bread Bowls
  
  
• Jalapeño Cheddar Mac'n'Cheese (I substitute jalapeño cheddar for the shredded cheddar and use skim milk to cut down on the fat a little) and Hot Dogs or maybe even Brats
  
  
• Saturday the hubby is taking me out for my birthday - dinner and a Milwaukee Bucks vs. Boston Celtics game (got the tix for free). We'll be using a Restaurant.com gift certificate to help cut down on cost.
