Easter Dinner

Well, the Easter baskets have been dismantled and mostly consumed, the egg hunt is over and now my attention turns to preparing dinner.

This is the first year I'm actually making a fuss over Easter dinner.  The first of many, I hope.  Today I'll serve a roasted chicken (prepared in a similar manner to my Thanksgiving turkey), gorgeous steamed green beans, a spiral ham (Easter is the only time of year I serve this) and stuffing.  We'll follow that with some lovely green grapes, strawberries picked from my garden, and fresh baked sugar cookies that my kids will decorate (this will no doubt be their favorite part of the meal).

I wish you peace, hope and grace this season.
