When I told my family we were visiting for Easter, my mom shared some happy news. We were all invited over to a family friend’s house for a Filipino Easter Potluck. Woohoo! My sister and I grew up going to many Filipino potlucks, but I haven’t been to one in years. It seems like we’re always out of town when they happen, so I was excited we’d be able to make this one.
Mom was in charge of making flan and pancit.
Sis, Bailey, and I assisted with the cooking. Bailey is such a good little kitchen helper.
We had a nice spread for Easter – lots of traditional Filipino party foods.
Sis and I always joke how Filipino food isn’t the most photogenic. The pictures may not tell the story, but trust me, this stuff is delicious!

Okay, the rice dish isn’t Filipino, but dad needed something special since the other eats all had meat in them.
All the food was so delicious. I had to have a couple plates to enjoy it while I could.
We had a great time catching up with our family friends and meeting a couple new ones, too! Hubby and I had to hit the road to head home since the potluck was on Sunday, but I think we could have stayed and chatted for hours. We had a fun little group for our Easter celebration.

Can we do this again tomorrow? Yum!
Hope everyone celebrating had a wonderful Easter!
looks like a fun time! so much delicious food.
Oh my goodness, this post has me missing my momma’s cooking more than ever. It looks like you had a great Thanksgiving!
