Note: This is the list for 2012, the 2014 Easter dinner list is available here.

 

To save time during Easter, you can order complete take-out Easter meals from restaurants and grocery stores.  Usually, you place an order and schedule a day/time to pick-up your dinner.  These dinners are fully-cooked and come with a main course, side dishes, and dessert.  All you have to do is reheat, serve, and enjoy.
