I have a chunk of ham that I threw in the oven last night. It came out good but I'm thinking about cutting a few thick slices off and giving them a little barbecue/grill char sear tommorow. Plus some as of yet undetermined things to go with it. It's a little weird since we usually have a small to medium family gathering for Easter, but we aren't really able to do that now.

I'll be spinning a turkey on the Performer. I know one of the sides will be mashed potatoes. Maybe califlower in a CI skillet on the Genesis and one other veggie.

Doing Mediterranean style racks of lamb for my dad, brother in law and nephew. If I have time today yet I will make some fresh pasta and bring a tub of previously made Bolognese for a first course or instead my wife will give me a fresh baked loaf of french bread. Also grilling asparagus. If no pasta the I will also grill/bake some potatoes as well

Just the two of us, so it might be only my first IP cheesecake for dinner. 
Actually, it's some Vortex-ed KFC thighs and to be determined sides.

Ham, and sweet potato casserole, ba’corn, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cake!
I’ll edit with pictures later but, there’s the cake!
And the funny part,
How many eggs can you find?

I made burnt ends and smoked some sausage and my wife made mac n cheese. We kept it pretty simple. We had no family over this year.

How well did you and the Mrs like the IP cheesecake? What flavor was it?

Bought the special rack of lamb (2 of them) from Aldi Wednesday, and cooked them for myself, dad, brother in law and one nephew yesterday. Along with mushrooms, grilled asparagus, a nice salad and wife made fresh french bread loaves for me to take with. All of it delicious
I made a wet rub of fresh garlic, about 1/2 tsp turmeric, red chili flakes, black pepper, 1/2 tsp cumin, and zest of one lemon with a little EVOO. I cross hatched the fat cap and rubbed that in very well, wrapped in plastic in the early morning. By the time I had the grill ready I seasoned them lightly with some coarse kosher salt. I kept salt content low due to some issues with for my 93 yo dad's sake. Bottom line though there was so much flavor from the other ingredients more salt was not needed at the table. They were outstanding

It turned out great! Just plain cheesecake topped with a few graham cracker crumbs.
I pretty much followed this recipe:

Bob, we've made the basic cheesecake recipe in the IP and really enjoyed it. Next up is this one haven't tried it yet but I think it will be great.
Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake
Ingredients
For the crust
Cooking spray
16 Oreos, finely crushed (about 1 1/2 c.)
3 tbsp. melted butter
Pinch kosher salt
For the cheesecake
2 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
10 Oreos
Whipped topping, for garnish
Crushed Oreos, for garnish
Chocolate syrup, for serving
Directions
Make crust: Grease a 6" springform pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine Oreo crumbs, melted butter, and salt and mix until mixture is the texture of wet sand. Using a glass, press mixture evenly into the bottom and up the side of the pan. Freeze for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make cheesecake: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, sugars, and sour cream until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at time, and beat until just blended. Don’t overmix. Add vanilla, salt, and flour and beat until combined.
Crush 10 Oreos with your hands and fold into the cheesecake batter. Pour batter into springform pan on top of crust and bang pan on countertop a few times to tap out air bubbles in the mixture. Tightly wrap entire pan in two layers of foil.
Pour 1 cup water into Instant Pot and place trivet in the bottom. Fold a large piece of foil (about 18”) into thirds to make a long “sling,” and lower it into the pot. Put the springform pan on top and fold the sling.
Lock lid and set to Pressure Cook on high for 37 minutes. Let pressure naturally release 10 minutes, then follow manufacturer’s guide for quick release, making sure to wait until cycle is complete before unlocking and removing lid.
Remove cheesecake from the pot using sling, unwrap and discard foil, then place on a wire rack to cool for at least an hour. Refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
To serve, dollop whipped topping on cake and top with more crushed Oreos. Slice and drizzle each slice with chocolate sauce.

Barb and I weren't going to do anything special, but Fry's had Kroger spiral cut hams on sale for $1.19 lb. So I decided to get one. That and an acorn squash and a yam made up diner. Squash and yam done on the gasser and the ham in the oven. We both agreed that the ham was excellent very nice flavor, tender and not too salty.
