We are not cooking much really. The IL's are cooking for Easter dinner/lunch. I know they are making a ham, baked potatoes, and a Boston cream pie. My hubby insisted we bring the veggies atleast. All I can say is I"m hoping for left overs they don't eat much in the left over department but we do.

I won't be cooking, since I work at a restaurant and so I will be working since we're having a big Easter Dinner for the customers at work. My mother and my grandparents are coming up and going to make a big dinner at my mom's house, so I might go over there when I get out at 10pm.

Sounds like a long day @ work! I hope your day goes quickly I can't imagine being open that late on a holiday.

As of now, I am not cooking for either Easter or Passover. I usually do both, but it's getting harder on many levels. I may do something on a smaller scale than usual, because I do prefer home-cooking to supermarket purchased meals or take-out. I always do the obligatory and very enjoyable fried matzoh for Passover breakfasts, though, because my granddaughter and I love to make and eat it. Our cat also loves it.

I don't really plan on doing anything special for Easter. I will just cook whatever. The kids and I are planning on just staying at home.

I'll be going to my dad's house. He and my stepmother are cooking a ham and lots of other goodies! I'm going to take her a box of her favorite candy and make my dad a loaf of bread, which means I'd better find the recipe!

Nope, not me, not any way, not any how. I spent several years cooking for my entire family while I lived with them, so I refuse to cook for all of them these days. They are all very picky eaters and it is nearly impossible to please everyone. I used to get very, very frustrated with this and I've told them that until they are ready to not complain about what I fix when they are at my house they aren't welcome to eat with me. That said, my mother is doing an Easter barbeque this year because he weather is supposed to be beautiful.

I'm not cooking at all on Easter. I never have. We've always had the tradition of going to my grandparents for holiday dinners. My grandmother does all the cooking. Now that she is getting older and having a harder time, my mom usually cooks the meat and she just does the sides. I suppose in the next few years she will give up doing it and my mom will take over. Then eventually I will be the grandmother and I will host the dinners for our family.
