My Easter Brunch Menu

On Easter Sunday, our family traditionally has a large brunch around one o'clock.  I am trying to plan ahead, making and freezing some of the food to avoid having to make it all on Holy Saturday.  I am also buying a ready made ham to avoid having that job to do. 

Here is our Easter menu this year:

Homemade waffles with strawberries and whipped cream/ maple syrup

Link Sausage

Fresh kielbasi and smoked kielbasi tray with hardboiled Easter eggs

Golden Braided Bread

Honeybaked Ham

Easter Poppyseed Cake

Mom B.'s Potato Casserole

Mixed fruit salad

In advance, I can make the waffles on a not-so-busy-day and freeze them.  I will be making eggs, cake and bread on Holy Saturday and will assemble the potato casserole Saturday evening to bake on Easter morning.  My mom is picking up the kielbasi at the butcher.  Fruit for the fruit salad can be cut on Saturday evening for the salad. 

I think it will be a relatively stress-free Easter as far as food preparation goes because I am planning ahead. 

What do you have for Easter brunch/dinner?

Okay, I read below to find out that this is your "we have a new baby, need a simple menu" version of Easter! I am in awe of you, and am definately going to be visiting again to try to absorb some of this blessed domesticity! I made a lamb dinner for my in-laws last Easter and almost gave myself a nervous breakdown!

Thanks for visiting Ladies! I am so excited for the Easter feast after a long Lenten time. For me, it is almost like seeing the presents under the tree on Christmas when on Easter morning there is the table spread with so much yummy feast food!
