re.CAP: EASTER

RER 4.5.15

Easter at our house is always small, but there is something comforting and delicious about the close company. This year was no different (last year was, though). The early spring light flooded our kitchen, where we cooked, baked and ate our Easter dinner.

Lively shadows were cast on our simple table topped with pretty whites and cream plates. The effortless feast brought vibrant colors like fresh bright greens from our tangy dressed shaved asparagus salad, dark rich forest from our slow simmered kale, burnt orange yellow from the generous layer of bubbling gruyere topping our scalloped potatoes, dark and light pinks from our salty baked ham, and deep sumptuous burgundy from our delectable red wine. But dessert was white-washed as well glimmering with golden brown notes of toasted coconut and smooth cream cheese frosting (more on this later).

Monday night we celebrated the beginning of Passover with the ceremonial Seder. Read more about the Jewish holiday, seders, and the fixin's in my article for The Daily Meal. Here are just a few snaps from time with the family while reflecting on the meaning of the holiday. How do you celebrate?
