Multiple ingredient lists, crazed shopping trips and complicated recipes can take the ease out of Easter. But with careful planning, it can still be an enjoyable, memorable holiday.
"It's much easier to make one stop for all of your Easter meal items," said Craig Kurz, CEO of The Honey Baked Ham Company of Ohio. "That way you can concentrate on spending time with your family and friends and on the actual celebration."
Whether you're hosting or attending a formal Easter dinner, impromptu spring fling or a casual brunch get-together with friends and family, meal planning and entertaining needs are top of mind. The Honey Baked Ham Company offers high quality, convenient, customized Easter meals to go, with many ways to mix and match the various items.
"Most people use the Honey Baked Ham as the centerpiece to the Easter meal," said Kurz, "but some people prefer our glazed turkey, or even serve both to offer choices to their guests."
Two to three side dishes should complement the centerpiece ham or turkey. These sides should always include at least one vegetable choice, and it also is recommended that one side dish be savory and one be sweet. These flavors provide a balance to the meal. Rolls or bread round out the Easter feast.
Of course every good Easter host gives their "just desserts." Whether it's fruity, chocolaty or a cheesecake, Easter just wouldn't be Easter without sweets!
Other ways to make for a pleasing Easter include:
- Make a list to stay organized and to ensure that you won't be making last-minute trips for forgotten items.
- Call ahead to the stores you'll be visiting to check on the items you need. Hams are always available at the Honey Baked Ham Company, but a reservation helps you secure the size you need. You also can ask questions about Easter meal options.
- Sign up with a mailing list at the stores you frequent to receive discounts and other special offers.
The Honey Baked Ham Company has website where you can reserve hams online.
