What are you cooking for Easter lunch?

[EdinaTheConfessor]

Looking for some inspiration that isn’t lamb. Don’t fancy a roast but want something a bit special.

Shoulder of lamb, roast potatoes, peas and carrots. Tiramisu for after. All these other lamb recipes sound delicious though.

They’re not slaughtered at that age, they’re about a year when they are. I used to think they killed baby lambs too 😢

Gammon roast, roast pots, cauliflower cheese, mac n cheese and roast parsnips
passion fruit cheesecake for desert

Well we don't eat dogs in the UK.

Puppies are bred for people to have as pets.

Lambs are bred by farmers to sell for meat. Did you think they just happened to be born?

Obviously eating lamb is not mandatory and I agree it seems harsh (but yes it's not the lambs that have just been born that we are eating). Especially to my DD who is veggie.

We’re doing a treacle and clementine ham with roasties, homemade pesto pasta, chilli and mint cous cous, pork pies, french stick, cheese board, olives, salads. I honestly cannot wait.

Salmon steaks with lemon butter, mash, cauli cheese, roasted carrotts and broccoli. That's it. Yikes, we don't like roast spuds 😳

I live alone and am having beans on toast :(

Stuffed shells, garlic bread and salad. MIL is bringing her famous Chocolate dessert.

Lamb here. Slow cooked. My husband and kids wouldn’t countenance anything else. I don’t like lamb, so will skip that bit. He’s doing it with potatoes dauphinoise, fine beans, tender stem and leek sauce. I have just made brownies containing mini eggs and there will be a stupendous cheese board.

We're counting on the sun making an appearance and having a BBQ. I've got some racks of baby pork ribs which I'll marinade with hoisin and 5 spice, lamb koftas, and homemade tabbouleh and coleslaw. Shall probs make some dips and serve with crudités.

Might have a cheese salad wrap 🤷🏼‍♀️

well you learn something new everyday- thank you!

Roast chicken, all the trimmings and pigs in blankets by request of my dds. Apple crumble for pudding. Also bought a chocolate roulade in M&S that looks like a yule log but with mini eggs on it.

Make something special for yourself. Don't have the attitude that because you're on your own you're not worth cooking for. I live alone and cook properly for myself. I won't be on my own tomorrow but once I spent Christmas alone and did the full works.

Yes I also thought this.

What do you love to eat? Make that. There's still time to nip to Tesco if there's anything you need. I would have a lovely Thai-style stir fry (which no one else in my house likes).

Buy a bar of your fave chocolate or a pair of Gü desserts or whatever you really like.

We are having soup and garlic bread for lunch, and probably large quantities of chocolate!

Sorry, it's leg of lamb here, with roasties, carrots and asparagus with brie and breadcrumbs. And gravy on the side (not a lover of mint sauce).

Slow roasted Greek lamb, lemon potatoes and Greek Salad.

I've got vegetarians coming so I've made a posh mushroom lasagne with three kinds of shrooms in. Never made it before. Was a faff so I hope it"s good. Might do a trifle too ... to carry on the layering theme.

Sorry, lamb here too. It's been in the freezer since I bought it on special offer at Christmas so it needs eating now. Roast potatoes, carrots, peas, cauliflower and Redcurrant jelly. Followed by lemon meringue pie. We rarely have lamb or puddings nowadays so it is a rare treat.

Roast chicken
Mini jackets
Yorkshires (ready made, I've lost the ability somehow)
Pigs in blankets
Carrots, shallots and thyme (new recipe I am excited about)
Broccoli with parmesan
Creamed spinach
Peas and sweetcorn
Gravy
Cranberry sauce.

Dessert is:
Banana, caramel and raisin cakey type thing I am inventing
Custard from a box!

It will be a refreshing (to me) mix of made from scratch and ready made, as I have finally given myself permission to take the easy route occasionally.....

I think, Gammon, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes and peas.

We love lamb, but never ever eat it until summer BBQ and autumn winter dishes.

No lamb at lambing time 🫣

That said if it’s a bad day with this storm it might be beans on toast on the camping stove.

Nothing. Going out about 4.

Ohhhhh I like the sound of this thank you x

I'm thinking about making myself butternut and chickpea curry with rice or having a veggie burger with homemade wedges and coleslaw. Can't decide. I'm new to being a vegetarian (seems to be kinder on my digestive system) and the only one in the house.
My DH is the chef so i'm trying to learn.
