Easter dinner without any additional trips to the grocery store

I am not a fan of grocery shopping right before a major holiday. I can imagine the stores are mobbed the one and two days before Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. Count me out of that experience, please.

So, here I am, creating an Easter menu without extra trips to the store. Fortunately, I did pick up our Easter ham 9 days ago. If I hadn't bought the ham my plan had been to roast a whole chicken. That's what we did for Thanksgiving and it was tasty and plenty for the 6 of us. So, all I have to come up with are the sides and dessert. Should be very do-able. Listing my on-hand ingredients helps me generate creative combinations.

What I can use:

Produce
carrots
raisins
peas
cabbage
yams
pumpkin
canned tomatoes
onions
orange juice

Starches
potatoes
cornbread stuffing mix
brown rice
pasta

Extras
pecans
almonds
cream cheese
olives
sparkling cider
baking staples
canned crescent roll dough
pickles
cheddar cheese

And what I came up with:



Have a happy Easter!
