Easter Menu

So Easter has come and gone, but the memory still remains in my mind...and maybe a bit on my hips. It was a whirlwind effort in the kitchen between Mama Dee, Grown Up Lady Me, and I, as we chopped, seasoned, sauteed, and deglazed (something new I learned). I am proud to say, it was a succulent success.

Here's what we had!

Appetizers:

Baked brie in a brown sugar pecan glaze served with pears

Cabot Cheese, Crackers, and Kalamata Olive board

Shrimp Cocktail

Salad:

Mandarin Orange, Grapefruit, and Red Onion, served over Romaine in a citrus dressing

Meat:

Beef Tenderloin with a sour cream, peppercorn, horseradish sauce

Fish:

Pretzel Crusted Cod with an Apricot-Dijon Sauce, see recipe here

Sides:

Steamed Asparagus

Rosemary Roasted Red Potatoes

Rye and Ciabatta Dinner Rolls

Dessert:

Blackberry Vanilla Cupcakes (at last!), see recipe here

And of course, a chocolate-filled Easter basket!

Now you can have a better look at what we cooked! Thanks Mom :)
