A Fabulous, Make-Ahead Spring Dinner
Spring is such a sweet relief to a long winter season! Soon we'll be digging in the garden, and getting together to celebrate the many special occasions that come each spring.

IN THIS ISSUE, we're planning ahead with a make-ahead menu worthy of any number of spring occasions. This menu, accomplished in steps ahead of time, allows for an enjoyable entertaining experience. Make the entire menu, or cherry-pick your favorites: Prime Rib Roast, Spring-Thyme Potatoes, Asparagus with Lemon-Pistachio Gremolata, Salt & Pepper Biscuits, French Green Bean Salad, and Zabaglione with Amaretti for dessert. The only thing left is to pick a date for your spring celebration!
