Also, the Easter Lamb! I know BBQ Lamb with lots of garlic is one of my favorites at Easter!

I'm doing a boneless and butterflied leg of lamb, marinated and then grilled, for our Easter dinner. Also, a Honey Baked ham (a required dish in our family!). The marinade is a mixture of onion, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Grilled to medium rare - YUMMY!

I got the Australian lamb from COSTCO yesterday already boned and butterflied for only $5.99 a pound. They also had a really good deal on Honey Baked gift cards (only $69.99 for $100 worth). I was able to get an 8 lb.+ ham PLUS a chocolate cake and a BBQ pork roast. Tomorrow I'm making my hubby's favorite carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Other family members are bringing sides. Easter Sunday will be a feast!

My Mom’s parent’s were Eastern European. They loved lamb and garlic. My Grandfather had a lamb roasting pit in his garage. I would help him baste the lamb with garlic and oil when I was a kid. Heaven.

Growing up in Chicago, when I was a kid in the summer we went to Greek picnics for lamb on Sundays. I thought that was every family in America did on Sundays after church until I got to grade school.

For awhile in college I dated the guy next door and he introduced me to the garlic press.

We started cooking together and using a lot (a ton) of garlic. Now I always thought my grandparents smelt funny cuz they were old. When he and I started to smell like my Grands I realized it was garlic!!!!

It was soo worth it!!

Take Dijon mustard, olive oil, Chopped Rosemary, garlic, salt and ground black pepper, whisk the crap out of that with red wine and maybe coriander seed.

Marinate the lamb and build the fire hot.

Happy Easter Yall
