Celebrate the Unpredictability of Spring!

Spring bursts on to the scene with change: one day we have sun, the next rain, it can be warm, cold, or maybe even snowing! Spring allows us to experience the excitement and the unpredictability of the seasons!

In the spring your menus, ingredients and recipes can reflect your ability to adapt to quick and dramatic changes in the weather and never miss a beat. One of the joys and freedoms of home entertaining is its adaptability–perfect for spring. Our spring newsletter contains menus for a sunny day Tea Party; Soup and Salad or Taco Bar all easy to prepare, adaptable to the unpredictability of spring weather, and adjustable to indoors or out. Guests will appreciate the ability to pick and choose what and where they eat.

For a Tea Party, try a casual sandwich buffet. Hint: remember, the key to the success of this spread is to make it flow in order of how the menu will be consumed. Bread must be first and then the bread toppings–sandwich fillings, condiments; salads; beverages; and last, desserts.

For a Soup and Salad Bar, I suggest preparing soup and a variety of salads (vegetable, seafood, meat and fruit). To make the occasion out of the ordinary, set up a Taco Bar. In the world of taco bars I go with seafood or meat as the main filling then a variety of salsas and condiments. Hint: for a flavor treat marinate the seafood or meat so they have enough flavor to hold their own. Create a taco bar spread of tortillas, fresh diced tomatoes, avocados, red onions, a variety of cheeses and shredded lettuce. I also have jalapenos or other hot peppers available for your more daring guests.

In this season of change; warm or cold; indoors or out with these recipes you’ll be ready to can handle all of spring’s surprises with flair!
