Here's what's on the Easter menu...

First of all again, thanks so much to everyone who follows my blog and once again apologies for not being here everyday.  We are still so busy with packing, moving and renovating some things at the house that the blog sadly, has taken a back seat.  Just know that if I am not on here, I am busy, busy, busy with the new house. 

So for today, I thought I would tell you what is on the menu for us for tomorrow.  Then later, I will post recipes and photos.  For now I have a pretty busy cooking and baking day ahead.  I am in heaven. 

Menu:

Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Sauce, Cherries and Pineapple Slices

Corn on the Cob with melted butter (frozen corn on the cob, but I am longing for summer's fresh corn)

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (for the kids of course)

Baked  Ravioli Casserole

Corn Bread (from a favorite: Jiffy Corn Bread Mix) Super easy, super inexpensive

Sweet Potato Cassserole topped with Miniature Marshmallows

Applesauce

Deviled Eggs

Carrot and Raisin Salad

Lemon Cake with Lemon Frosting

Chocolate and White Easter cupcakes (purchased from Sam's, yep, too cute to pass up)

Brownies

That's it, I think.  Hmmmmm why is my stomach growling?  I better get started.

This one might be a keeper...

Hi Friends,

Today's recipe for the most part can be made for breakfast or dinner.  It is a simple one with no real recipe per se but here goes:

Ham Steak and Pan Fried Potatoes

The players:

Pour a small amount of oil in a frying pan, just enough to lightly cover the bottom of the pan.

Heat the oil.  Wash, peel and slice the potatoes, leaving the skins on is okay too.

Add the potatoes to the prepared frying pan.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  You can also add diced onion.

Place ham steak in frying pan and cook until heated through and nicely browned.

The completed meal: 

Oops! Who added those cookies? 

Ham Steak and Pan Fried Potatoes

Ingredients:

Ham Steak
Baking Potatoes
Vegetable or Canola Oil
Salt and Pepper
Small amount of butter or margarine (also used for corn on the cob)
Onion, diced, if desired, for potatoes
Onion and Garlic Powder (optional)
Frozen Corn on the Cob (use fresh when in season)

Recipe:

Wash, cut and slice baking potatoes into medium sized rounds.  Meanwhile add oil to the frying pan, just enough to coat the bottom on the frying pan.  You may need to add a little bit more depending on amount of potatoes and cooking time.  Add potatoes to frying pan, turn heat to medium high and fry potatoes until golden brown, turning once to brown both sides.  When potatoes are fork tender, transfer potatoes to a heated serving platter to keep warm until serving.

Corn on the Cob should be prepared, cooking according to package directions.  When tender, transfer to bowl and add melted butter to corn or roll corn on butter quarter to butter.

Add ham steak to frying pan with a tab of butter, cook until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to serving platter.  Serve.

We usually have ketchup with the potatoes but my husband being born and raised on the East Coast, always has the ketchup but he adds pickle relish too.  Well, he also adds vinegar to spinach so there ya go.

The cookies were homemade and frozen at Christmas time, good thing to keep in mind on those nights when you feel like a little dessert after dinner. 

Enjoy!
