Vol. 1: Eat, Bubbeleh – It's Easter
Greetings! Lisa here. I started Provisions because I believe a great meal nourishes the soul – and you shouldn't have to leave your home to have one. So whether you're gathering loved ones for an epic banquet, assembling a backyard brunch, staging a romantic dinner for two or just programming a high-quality nosh in front of the TV, I can help you make it happen. After all, why should you cook?
Our Easter Menu
Contemplating Easter baskets? Planning for Passover? Just itching to celebrate the arrival of spring? No matter how you slice it, the time feels right to bring your nearest and dearest together for a feast of renewal. And if this cornucopia of comestibles doesn't renew your appetite, I don't know what will.

Roasted asparagus with lemon oil
Baby new potatoes and herbs

Note: Passover menus will soon be available and will appear in the next installment of this newsletter. And don't worry – I won't serve ham at your seder. Unless you ask me to.

Super-Easy Spring Recipe
Even if you don't cook, this mouth-watering dish is a snap to throw together.
Chevre With Honey and Rosemary
8 oz. plain goat cheese
2 tablespoons good-quality honey
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

Mix the room-temperature cheese, honey, rosemary and cream together.
Serve with fresh figs and prosciutto or just spread it on some bread!
A Thought About Purim
Rabbi Professor David Golinkin, President of the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, discusses the Talmudic statement that a person must get drunk on Purim until he cannot distinguish between "cursed be Haman" and "blessed be Mordechai." And some of you wonder why Purim is my favorite holiday.
