The scalloped potatoes, I'm not sure how I'll cook them. Then a sweet potatoe for me (no one likes them). Asparagus, broccoli, cranberry relish. The baked beans will be vegan, although I've never had vegetarian baked beans. For dessert - cherry pie. Maybe I'll make the chocolate rasberry pie that Susan demoed with silky tofo.

We're not having any Meatavores, so I don't know what to do for a "Main Dish Centerpiece"!! All sides & desserts I can handle; and I know a lot of folks have "just sides", but, we are so "Traditional" when it comes to a Holiday meal, it just won't seem the same without something!

I've never had any veggie ham, so I don't know how it would taste, but it looks pretty.

It sounds good. I wish I had posted this at an earlier date. This will be the first holiday since I've gone vegan.

The next time I sprinkled in some soy bacon bits on the top. I try to keep it easy then I am temped to make several other things at the same time. I hope you all have a great Easter Jeannie

I think everything except the Strawberry Hazelnut Torte can be easily "vegan-ized" using vegan cheese and margarine. http://www.finecooking.com/menus/vegetarian-spring-dinner.aspx
