We had a lovely delicious ham this Easter will all the trimmings. Busted out some special mustards, made some (mediocre, sadly) bread, and put on our elastic waist pants for the feast.
I made scalloped potatos from scratch which, frankly, I do not do often. I quite like the box mix and I am not ashamed. But we had a ton of potatos to use up and so my box scalloped mix sits on the shelf for another day.
We made an enormous pan of potatos from Gimme Some Oven and they were very tasty.
For dessert I made Nigella's Easter Egg Nest Cake which is just a flourless chocolate cake covered in Easter candy. I skipped topping the cake with chocolate whipped cream and candy, and we just scooped large dollops of cream on our slices on our plates. It ain't a pretty cake, but it was so delicious I was forced to eat leftovers for breakfast a few days later.
I made the Milk Bread from 100 Breads and it didn't turn out super well.
I think part of the problem was I didn't get my timing right and the dough wasn't ready to be baked before I needed the oven for the ham and potatos, and so I baked it in the toaster oven.
Our toaster oven sucks.
It did have a nice flavor, it was just small and sad.
