Classic Easter Sunday Dinner

Set the scene with spring’s blooms, and share the season's favorite foods and flavors: ham or lamb, fresh stalks of spring-green asparagus and flavor-packed casseroles. You can choose an appetizer, main dish, side dish and dessert. But if you're serving a crowd, make a wonderful buffet with options for everyone.

Bring Spring's Blooming Beauties Indoors

• Cluster small flowering potted plants on the table. Intersperse white or pastel votive candles in glass holders.
• Place a small basket of cut spring flowers at each place setting. Fresh violets, snowdrops, scilla, primrose and crocus are lovely choices.  Invite guests to take their baskets home with them.
• Force branches of early spring shrubs or trees into bloom to use as a centerpiece. Forsythia in its cheery shades of yellow is widely available at florist shops. Or cut crab apple or cherry branches for their pink and white blossoms. Arrange the branches in a simple pitcher or large vase.
