I am not cooking anything for Easter -- at least not right now.  The uncles return from Florida on Saturday afternoon, so we are having everyone over for homemade split pea soup with ham biscuits on Saturday night.  At least worked some of that traditional ham into the Easter weekend!

Had I been home, a ham probably.  We mistakenly booked spring break travel in January without checking the calendar.   Sure enough we'll be experiencing our first Spanish mass this weekend in Cabo San Lucas.    We've traveled for Christmas a few times, but never been away from family for Easter.   I figure it will be a memorable experience for the girls.  My oldest has been taking Spanish classes for three years.

Precooked spiral cut smoked ham (upper half) from Costco.  I will put it in a foil pan and put in the GS at 220 for about 2 hours, then will glaze and leave in smoker for another 30-45 minutes.  This gives me the finish and texture I want.  I find that most precooked hams are not done enough (except the canned Danish type). This method has worked like a charm for the past several years.  Great left overs for sammy's. Usually put a foil tent over it. 
Happy Easter to All. 

We will be spending Easter down with the family a few hours away.  As it stands right now, not looking like I will be cooking much for Easter, although when down at my mom's house, she usually finds something for my brother and I to cook.

I’m thinking about a lamb roast.

Most likely, but I'm not sure what yet. I despise ham and I think it might be just the four of us on Sunday, so hopefully steaks or a small prime rib. Saturday might be a couple spatchcocked birds for the in-laws. Still waiting on the boss to inform me of the final plans so we can create the menu.

Since it will just be My bride & I'm thinking a couple Rib Eyes or I've got some really nice beef ribs in the freezer.

I will be cooking a five bone in prime rib on the grill.  I will cook at 275 until it reaches medium rare.  I will use a simple rub of salt and freshly cracked pepper.

My son-in-law requested ribs so it will be baby back ribs.  I also want to put some 5 cheese Mac and cheese on the Memphis to see how that improves the flavor since I have never cooked Mac and cheese on a pellet grill.  I know, not very traditional for Easter but that's what the daughter and son-in-law want.

I bought three racks of baby backs yesterday. Although due to weather I think I am going to be doing them on Saturday.

Double smoked ham.   .  Not a fan of spiral sliced ham, so a reg one it is.

Just the usual ham . . . hopefully the usual delicious ham.

So far for the weekend have kcbs banned pork sitting in fridge, 2 whole chickens, a 4.5# boneless rib roast and 4 bacon wrapped turkey tenderloins.

Are you doing anything special to your rib roast

Are you doing anything special to your rib roast

This is only the third one I’ve ever cooked and the first was 15 years ago. I’m nervous about messing it up so was thinking pretty simple, but hadn’t decided on what to do yet. I think I only have 2-3 hours to cook it too.
