Planning an Easter Menu
Great themes for Easter are carrots, eggs and of course rabbits. Now that Jaiden is older I tend to decorate for Easter less and less then I use to. This year we thought it would be fun to have a picnic for brunch. Jaiden may not be out hunting down eggs anymore but it's still fun to go outside and enjoy the beautiful Spring flowers.
So I'm planning a brunch menu and a light dinner menu. We've noticed during the holidays it is the worse time to gain weight and so we wanted to keep things a little lighter this year yet still have a wonderful feast.
Brunch Picnic
Cinnamon Rolls with Coffee Latte
Dinner
Oven Roasted Chicken
Mixed Greens with Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette
Yeast Rolls
Mead
Mead is a drink I feel can be served with any dish, from rich stews to light cheeses and fruits. I know some wine purist would say to serve it like other sweet wines to cut heat or intense spice. I believe Mead is just in a category of it's own and can be served with anything. Besides it will compliment the sweetness of the chicken and highlight the tart yet sweet flavor of the vinaigrette.
