    I wish I could do a ham for Easter but ham is a migraine-trigger for my

    Is she able to eat smoked turkey?

    I'll probably get one of those shrimp cocktail rings from the
    stupidmarket (safeway) for an appetizer. I know, you purists would tell
    me to make my own. Been there, done that! Ain't doing that again if I
    can help it! We'll also have a veggie tray but I'll make that myself.

    I'm not a purist, so I approve of your plan. 🙂

    I'll most likely grill some NY Strip steaks, with a foil packet of
    sliced zucchini (with S&P, butter, parsley, teensy bit of minced garlic)
    and another foil packet of diced potatoes (including butter, chopped up
    caramelized onions (haven't tried that before), and S&P) or baked
    potatoes.

    You're making me hungry, and I just finished dinner! LOL!

    Quoted message said:

    For the steaks, I'll have S&P and granulated garlic powder (the only
    time I don't use fresh garlic).

    New York Strip Steaks are a big favorite of Crash's. I'm acquiring a
    taste for them, but they cut a big chunk out of our food budget.

    We'll be too stuffed for dessert so I won't even bother with it.

    That's what I'm thinking, and we're having about 1/3 of what you're
    serving.

    I think I'll make devilled(sp) eggs this year. Anyone have a good
    recipe for devilled(sp) eggs? I've never made them.

    These aren't recipes, per se ...

    Regulation Devilled Eggs:
    Cut hard-boiled eggs lengthwise, scoop out the yolk, and set the
    (hopefully intact) egg white halves aside. Mash the yolks with a fork
    and add mayo and mustard to taste. Using two spoons (the one time I
    tried using the "squirt it out of a plastic bag" technique, I wound up
    with eggs that looked like someone had pooped in them), fill the whites

    hehehe! Your descriptions have such visual impact!

    What you needed was piping rosette. I've never seen anyone [censored] like that.
    Actually, I've never seen anyone else [censored] ever! :-)

    with the yolk mixture, then sprinkle the tops with paprika.

    Curried Devilled Eggs (my favorite to date):
    Follow the above recipe, but instead of adding mustard, use curry powder
    to taste (I use Penzey's Sweet Curry). Complete as above, but use curry
    powder in place of the paprika.

    Yes but after Thanksgiving (we did a normal oven turkey and a deep fried
    turkey) and Christmas (just a small oven turkey), I'm not all that
    interested in turkey right now. Besides, I'm not really fond of smoked
    meats.

    Yeah, I can relate to that. The way beef prices have skyrocketed we haven't
    had steak in quite a while. Which doesn't bother me too much. I'd rather
    eat chicken or pork myself. The Wife, OTOH, wants beef. so it's been a long
    struggle when dinner time rolls around. I think I'm going to buy a half a
    cow this year so we can a great price and a much better quality as well.

    Well, it won't be just the wife and I. There will be seven of us it is not
    as much food as you think.

    I'm going to try all the recipes that have been posted and see which one we
    like best. I'll make that one for Easter. I've learned to not experiment
    with a new recipe on holidays. On holidays, the only place open is a gas
    station so if something goes wrong, we're screwed. That hurts, btw!

    Thanks for the support and recipes!
