Of all the holidays, Easter may be the most beautiful. Spring has sprung, the tulips are blooming, and there’s a certain flowery optimism in the air.

I love Easter dresses, new shoes, and a chance to use the prettiest plates and napkins. All you need is a simple, tasty menu to delight your friends and family!
