Spring's Virtual Supper Club
by Cindi Sutter, Founder & Editor Spirited Table®
Welcome to our Virtual Supper Club for April with a large splash of SPRING!! Yes, I know it’s the 12th vs 11th; but we choose not to post on Sundays! So sit back and enjoy the tips, floral designs, and our course by course recipes!
Some days we just simply need to take our eyes off the computer or phone and Look Up! Green Plants with Fresh Flowers that inspire spring tips. Don’t let the title of this post throw you off…Spring Cleaning is about using a variety of containers, that include me using my pitchers instead of a vase. Florals Courtesy of Spring inspire us to embrace all the pastel colors of spring. I found inspiration from this simple Spring board. A great project for you and your kids. Mayo Clinic Spring Board. Hello Spring provides guidance in creating my garden's summer appearance. Discover great tips with Flora Dreams and Plans for Spring. Staying Sane for Spring give it a try! + Spring Guide to Farmer's Markets + Spring Florals, Fascinators & Easter Ideas + Special Love for Spring Bulb Flowers + The No BS Spring Break Eating Plan + Pussy Willow = Earliest Sign of Spring + How to Create A Fragrant Indoor Spring Planter + Tulips - Did you know?!
I truly believe that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Here’s are some of my favorite liquid wake-up calls. Praline Coffee + Spring Earth yields Baked Eggs with Spinach and Mushrooms + No BS Smoothie + Energy Bites + Coconut Chia Breakfast Pudding + Nut Butter Energy Bites.
Depending on your favorites’ cocktails or mocktails, wine or beer create the perfect pairings for Spring into Patio Season. A Toast to Spring includes Limeade Mojito + White Sangria and Easy Sparkling Party Punch Recipe! {Just 4 Ingredients} + Herbed Iced Tea + 9 Fiery Margaritas to Fire Up Your Spring + Young Buck Cocktail From Day Drinker Texas Bourbon + The Watermelon “Shrubarita”.
I love appetizers because they can just as easily become a main course. Spring Fling Salad + Leeann Chin's Spring Rolls + Top 5 Favorite Spring Ingredients + Grilled Summer Veggie Salad + Warm Lentil Salad + Beet Salad + Hot and Sour Soup with Spring Vegetables + Spicy Ahi Tuna Tartare on Wonton Chips + Chicken, Farro, and Vegetable Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette + Watermelon, Blueberry, and Mint Salad in a Cup (SO Easy).
Side dishes can sometimes take center stage. Mushrooms, Greens and Asparagus Pasta + Spring Asparagus + Joy of Spring & Turnip Risotto + Dreaming of Cabbage includes a recipe for Colcannon! Transitioning From Winter to Spring: Wild Foods, includes Nettles n' Eggs + Grated Carrot Salad with Wild Greens + Asparagus Soup + Favorite soups...for any season and reason.... + Grilled Corn Salad with Spicy Lime Dressing.
Your main course is center stage and this One-Dish Spring Salmon presents you with some sides included. This Spring Minestrone with Chicken Meatball could easily become a heavy appetizer. Agnello Arrosto con Asparagi Arrosto = Roasted lamb with roasted asparagus + The Joys of Spring & Spinach...from the farm=Spinach Pesto Recipe + Grilled Shrimp with Tumeric Sauce + Coq Au Vin.
This dessert should be shared by all; Passover Cookie Trio. Maple Syrup Announces Spring + New Ingredients in our Spring Kitchen = Vegan Twix Bars with Date Caramel + Banana Bread Muffin Tops + Lemon Angel Food Cake with Preserved Lemon Curd + Coconut Cake with Mango Sauce.
