Still not sure what to serve for Easter dinner? We've selected four sample menus, all of which would make a terrific Easter dinner. Ham and lamb are two favorite main courses at this time of year, but we haven't forgotten our vegetarian friends either. I've ended all three menus with fresh Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. They are really very easy to make and they add such an indulgent, decadent touch to a special dinner. Mix and match components of these menus or recipes from our archives to create your own perfect Easter dinner. For those trying to cope with a diagnoses of diabetes, holidays can be especially stressful.
