A couple of years ago, we started doing Easter at our house for both sets of parents and my brother. My brother's a vegetarian, I don't like lamb or ham, Alex's mom has a ton of weird food allergies (no wheat, soy, or dairy), and roasts are more of a Christmas thing...so we started doing non-traditional.
This year is gonna look like this:
Appetizers
Deviled Eggs
Hummus
Pita and corn chips
Olives
Stuffed grape leaves
Dinner:
Pita bread
Falafel
Kofta (http://www.grouprecipes.com/59348/authentic-egyptian-kofta.html)
Greek marinated (http://www.recipezaar.com/Greek-Marinade-28150) chicken skewers
Greek style rice pilaf (http://www.recipezaar.com/Pilafi-Me-Throumbi-greek-Savory-Rice-90242) (I will use veg bouillon instead of chicken)
Veggies (maybe grilled veg skewers, with mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and zucchini)
Hummus/feta/tahini/tzatziki to dress sandwiches with
Dessert:
Coconut milk ice cream (http://www.godairyfree.org/Recipes/Dairy-Free-Desserts/Basic-Vanilla-Coconut-Ice-Cream-Vegan-Soy-Free-Gluten-Free.html)
Gluten free chocolate cake (https://www.namastefoods.com/shopping/storefront/cgi-bin/product_nutrition.cgi?Product_Id=7&Category_Id_Search=5&Closeout_Search=All&Return_Cgi=item_list.cgi) with orange glaze and strawberries
Probably a key lime pie
