What to bring for Easter dinner???
I will be almost 8 weeks post op for Easter and am going to my MIL's house for dinner. This will be my first family event involving food and I am worried. My MIL is not making one thing that I will be able to have, so I need help. I would like to bring a dish or two that I will be able to eat and share. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Deviled eggs? My girls made me a "birthday cake" recently. It was a huge bowl of sugar free pistachio pudding topped with sugar free cool whip. We all ate it, served in pretty parfait glasses. If MIL is serving ham you might bring some baked yams in the skins. When I go to a family barbeque, my family knows I will be bringing my own chicken breast, no hurt feelings. It should be easy if it is just family. They should all be rooting for you!
Egg Salad
Tuna Salad
Soup (Split Pea or bean are always good)
Or below is my recipe for Mock Sweet Potato Pie. It is always a hit whenever I make it.
1 package Butternut Squash (this is sold at most groceries
and is already cut)
1/4 - 1/2 small Sweet Potato (optional, but I like the
consistency it brings to the dish)
1/3 cup Splenda
1/4 cup SF Maple Syrup (I prefer the Smuckers brand
Table Syrup)
1 - 2 tsp cinnamon (depends how much cinnamon flavor
you like...I like alot)
Microwave the Squash per package directions but make
sure it gets soft enough. The pieces will darken as it
cooks and this is fine. Either microwave or boil the
potato until it is soft. Discard the peel from the
potato. Mash the squash and potato until smooth. Add
the remaining ingredients and spread in a pie pan.
Drizzle some more SF maple syrup on the top. Bake in a
350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
