Spring Dinner Menu

Does the idea of throwing a large dinner party excite you, exhaust you or scare you? Maybe all three?  I get it. It’s fun to be the host and gather your family and friends for a special meal, but there is also a certain amount of pressure involved…  that is,  unless you plan ahead and come up with a menu that is simple to prepare, but will still be memorable for your guests.

Is there such a thing? Yes, there is,  and it’s not as hard to create as you might think.
