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.
