Those cookbooks were offered at grocery stores as a premium when you bought $20 dollars' worth of groceries for less than a dollar. Each week a different edition of the set was offered. If you missed a week, you could purchase it for full price. I could feed my husband and me for $20 a week back then. I had a set but gave them away when I was downsizing. I did keep my McCall's set that came in a plastic holder. I still use them. I bought them as grocery store premiums. In one of your St. Patrick Day's videos you pointed out a plum dessert in the McCall's set. I am going to make that because I have some plums in my freezer that I need to use and wanted a recipe for them. Thanks. I enjoy watching you.

We always went to my Granny's for every holiday meal. Always ate at 12. I found out later, Granny never cared about the time, it was my aunt who insisted. I never did find out if Granny loved to cook for us, or if she just preferred staying home. She was a great country cook and was almost living self sustaining. She raised chickens so we had an amazing roast chicken for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So much tastier than turkey or store bought chickens. Easter was always a ham. Now that she's gone, our family is more fractured and we don't have the same holiday routines. But if we go to my aunt's, we always eat at 12. We have ham, corn casserole, hash brown casserole, broccoli casserole, deviled eggs, rolls, and some salads. I like to bring my other grandma's 7 layer salad. It has a layer of peas. My aunt used to bring overnight salad, the kind with broccoli and cauliflower to Easter at Granny's, but since she hosts now, she doesn't make the effort. She's the same aunt who made the taco salad with Doritos and Western dressing. She's a big church goer so she gets all the best recipes going around. This year, my mom is recovering from a stroke, so we will likely stay home. I am considering buying a pre made Easter meal from Cracker Barrel. I got my Thanksgiving dinner from there, since I was home alone, and it was very satisfying. I don't know how to cook Easter dinner for 3! We'll have leftovers for months. We shall see.

I've heard of holiday brunches all my life, but I've never attended one or prepared one. All our holidays were too busy with church or travel or Santa Claus to make any time for food before our big dinner at 2 pm-and that's dinner, not lunch, because we're from the South. I've been cooking most or all of the food for our big meals since I was 16, which makes 40 years of holiday meals-and we had a get-together of some sort for all the major holidays. My happy memories of those days are endless, and I say to anyone who will listen, cooking and sharing good food and fellowship with the people you love is the greatest joy in life.

1. I will give Thrive Market a try. Looks interesting. 2. Easter- Well, everyone is an adult, and there are presently no kids, so that ups the ante a little in the egg hunt. I used to put really corny but clean jokes in some of the plastic eggs, also loose change I collected all year, plus of course dyed and decorated hard-boiled eggs, and jelly beans, etc. You know what? A couple years ago, when the kids turned 21, I got those little airline bottles of different types of booze. The jokes got a little more risqué, to elicit at least a "Mother!" as a scold. Hard-boiled eggs go well with better chocolate (I'm looking at you, Riverside Chocolate of McHenry, Illinois), and an assortment of breakfast meats. And yes, adults will humor their mother, or their mother-in-law, and go hunt the bottles of booze, if for no other reason than to have something to mix in their coffee and orange juice. 3. Food for the rest of the day: If it’s not the usual midwestern Easter snow, I grill steaks, baked potatoes, corn, veg. We must have carrot cake for dessert.

Participants go to the store and get the weirdest bulk carrot they can find. Voting happens, but you can use applause as well. Winner gets a small box of chocolates. Meijer has individual bulk carrots, among other stores. I like my Meijer because the produce is good and reasonable, and it is close to my house.

I, at the age of 39, am just now finding out that there is supposed to be a specific menu for Easter. And that's not to say that my family did not celebrate Easter in the past. It's just that we were usually so busy on Easter Sunday (our church did sunrise service, and I was usually directing the Easter passion play) and the majority of my extended family lived out of town, that we just kind of made deviled eggs out of the spoils of the Easter Egg Hunt and called that lunch. I think I remember a few times having fried chicken from the grocery store deli (if we had enough money) or one grandmother or the other doing a cookout if it wasn't raining. And then after I moved away from my hometown I stopped celebrating Easter altogether. So, this is a whole new world to me, and I kind of want to try these recipes.

I make vegan cinnamon rolls for Easter. My mom always made cinnamon rolls, then dyed some coconut green and made a nest on top of each one. She would put 2-3 jelly beans in each nest and a small candy bunny standing over it. She always made a ham. A good vegetarian breakfast (not vegan) is a toasted English muffin with some cooked spinach on top, topped with a poached egg, with Hollandaise over it.

I must be in the minority, but I never cared very much for ham, so I secretly wished there were different food traditions for Easter Day...or even that we could have turkey, as we do at Thanksgiving! Now that I'm an adult, if I were hosting a large crowd, I'd do something totally different - maybe some sort of an overnight egg casserole at brunch with a big salad, fruit, and maybe something fun for dessert or snacks later (maybe a make-it-yourself sundae bar with lots of different toppings?). I wish you a joyous Easter!

I bet you'd have a lot more people show up to your Easter Brunch than I'd have show up to mine. Somehow the promise of a couple of hot cross buns and a 5-pack of Peeps doesn't seem to draw. 🤔 I don't think I could handle finding a whole "Thrive" box full of goodies on my porch. I found a box on my porch this morning -- all it had in it was boxes of crackers -- but YIPPEE!! My day was made!! 🤗 It was my back-ordered Irish Brown Bread Crackers made in Cork, Ireland. A week late for St. Patrick's Day, but that's the price I guess you pay for finding them for 44% off. They're just so, so-o-o tasty, and usually so, so-o-o beyond my budget.

I think with the forks, they face each other and you pull them apart in opposite directions gently, like you cut angel food cake.

We usually eat some of the dyed eggs and some toast and maybe a little candy lol for breakfast. Then Easter dinner is usually a little earlier in the day, it’s very similar to thanksgiving but ham instead of turkey and add deviled eggs. We also have pineapple upside down cake or bunny cake instead of pie.

Very nice job on that souffle! My family doesn't celebrate Easter, but it sounds like a lovely meal.

I would love to see a video of any recipes you have done on your show and changed up to make them even better!

I feel like Easter is a ham traditional holiday. But my son-in-law does the cooking for Easter and he likes beef and turkey so we usually have either a turkey or a prime rib roast. When my kids were growing up we didn’t live near any extended family so I just made whatever I felt like making, but we always did a braided Easter bread ring with brightly colored eggs in it and it had an orange flavor to it. My kids loved it and always made sure that they got the egg that they themselves colored from the top of the bread. Fun tradition!

Sunday breakfasts in our family growing up was usually so good, but we didn't do any particular Easter breakfast and I haven't as a mom, but following my mom's tradition, Sunday breakfasts were late morning and a table full of favorites! As our kids got older, we usually went to family potluck for Easter dinner. 😊

I gotta say, I do miss the Cinderella bowl but the tiny Pyrex casserole dishes and the yellow dessert cup totally made up for it. 🤣 Not to mention, I 🩷 it whenever you serve anything on the Corelle Crazy Daisy!

I think the muffin tin cups were smaller back in the day. I know my gran's muffin tray from the 1970's has smaller muffin cups than mine from 2012. Brava on the cheese soufflé! Thanks to you, I may attempt that one day. 🫣😂

You made me laugh again! It worked!!!!😂 Btw, you're wearing another cute sweater. My family is Italian so we will have lasagna, a pot roast, stuffed artichokes and I make eggs baked in a cookie crust which was a recipe my mom cut out of the newspaper which was written by Mario Cuomo's wife Matilda.

I don’t use liners for muffins because I like the outside crust.
