Greetings!
 
Spring is a time of hope, renewal, and celebration. Whether this is your first Easter together or one further down the road, it marks a significant part of the spring season, and for many of us, even the most important holiday of all. 
 
No matter your faith tradition Easter can be an opportunity to gather family or friends and celebrate 
victory and new life. We hope the menu below can help make this Easter a time of joy and fellowship for you.
Easter Dinner Fit For a Celebration
 
Newlyweds in Loving Pose
 
Next to Thanksgiving and Christmas, Easter Sunday has to rank right up there with family meal opportunities.
 
We have put together a lovely
Easter Dinner Menu fit for royalty which you can prepare in its entirety or select those courses that interest you, adding other favorites as you like.
 
Whether you are entertaining family, guests or it's just the two of you, these recipes will provide just the right mix of elegance and practicality.
   
 
Honey-Glazed Ham
Asparagus Vinaigrette
New Potatoes with Parmesan Cheese Sauce
Cornbread-Apricot Stuffing
Five-Layer Pistachio Dessert
 
We have chosen a Honey-Glazed Ham for the main dish. A very popular part of many family traditions it is almost universally loved. You can find our recommended preparation suggestions for up to 24 by following the link provided above.
 
Asparagus has a unique flavor which provides the basis for a wide variety of dishes. We have selected a particularly flavorful recipe Asparagus Vinaigrette, which further enhances its natural flavors and offers a wonderful contrast to the natural sweetness of the ham.
 
For those surprised by the conspicuous absence of cheese smothering the asparagus, as is one of the more  popular ways to serve it, you may be delighted to discover the Steamed New Potatoes with Parmesan Cheese Sauce further complimenting this smorgasbord of flavors.
 
Some would say a meal isn't a meal without bread, but to continue along the lines of adding just a twist to the conventional we have chosen a Cornbread-Apricot Stuffing.
 
With a unique blend of sweet and exotic, the 5 Layer Pistachio Dessert will provide the perfect finish to the perfect meal and be a guaranteed hit!
 
These dishes have been carefully selected to provide a balance of flavors which will make this gathering, whether it be 2 or 24, worthy of the celebration it is intended to be.
