Traditional Easter Dinner

Every year our family gathers together on Resurrection (Easter Sunday) to enjoy a traditional ham dinner. We usually serve some kind of potato dish, a salad, and hot homemade rolls. Some families enjoy pork loin, pork chops, or even lamb for Easter dinner. These are all very traditional Easter dinner ideas as well. We know every family is different but we wanted to share with you our very favorite Easter Dinner ideas, including side dishes, salads, and even desserts! As an added bonus, we will also share with you a sample Easter Dinner including recipes!
