Spring also means more fresh fruits and vegetables are available in the market, especially strawberries and asparagus, two foods particularly associated with spring. So join me and celebrate spring!

Saturday Dinner
- Warm Cheese Dip
I love this appetizer; it's warm, creamy and comforting. Serve it with a selection of crackers for a great start to your dinner. - Pork Chops with Melon
Did you know that grilling fruit brings out its sweetness and caramelizes those sugars too? Served with these tender pork chops, these grilled melon slices are just spectacular. - Basil Cheese Pull-Apart Breadsticks
Sourdough bread is sliced, coated with butter and herbs, then heated on the grill until soft and crispy. Yum. - Asparagus with Pesto Tomatoes
When you're preparing asparagus, snap the spears; they will break at the point where the tough, woody area begins. - Strawberry Chocolate Trifle
To save time, you can purchase some prepared pound cake instead of making the cake squares for this beautiful dessert.
Sunday Brunch

This delicious make-ahead casserole is creamy, cheesy, crisp, and savory. It's one of my favorite brunch dishes. - grapefruit halves
