I haven't done much sewing over the last couple of days since I have been getting ready for Easter. I finally packed the snowmen and pulled out the cute Easter decorations. It was odd putting the sweet snowmen away since we still have snow on the ground here in Minnesota! I'm sure it will all be gone soon if the temperatures keep getting up in the 50's (plus it's raining this morning.)
I've made the trip to the grocery store and the recipes are ready for a day of cooking for tomorrow. Here's the menu;
Ham
Fresh Pineapple
Grandma Eva's Potatoes
Grandma's Fruit Salad
Grandma's Fruit Salad
Whip carton of whipping cream and sweeten to taste, add chopped apples and sliced bananas.
My grandma always made this for the Holidays and other family gatherings.
It's one of my favorites.
Grandma Eva's Potatoes
8-10 potatoes, boiled and mashed
then add 8 oz package cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
finely minced onion
salt to taste
garlic powder
Beat well. Fill casserole and cover with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and bake.
I usually put this in a crock pot and cook for 6 hours on low. I usually make it a day ahead and then plug in the crock pot the morning of our special dinner.
After my son John was born, Grandma Eva brought casseroles (plural) of this to our home for me to freeze for a quick side dish for meals. This is one of my husband's favorite recipes!

Happy Easter and Happy Stitching,
We also made that fruit salad for Thanksgiving, the only difference is that sometimes we added maraschino cherries also. Sounds like a delicious meal!
