Dishes to Wake Up Your Easter Menu
Suddenly, overnight, it feels like spring has sprung. A few showers, a few days grazing 70 degrees, and there’s our lawn again, begging for a mow. And here we are with Easter at the doorstep, ready to provide a reason to celebrate. It’s time to scoop up that first-of-season asparagus, take a minute to carefully carve, stuff, and plate a batch of deviled eggs, and hit the farmers markets for those early spring greens. It’s just a tease until there’s buckets of herbs, strawberries to pick, and early tomatoes on the vine—sights and smells I’m aching for already. Be it for yourself or a small brood, I hope the meals you’re making now offer a little ray of hope for what’s to come.
