Seasoned Greetings!
April brings us some of us beautiful spring weather. At least that can be said for the last few days of this month in southern Wisconsin. However, April also brought us more snow than most of winter this time around! In honor of this month's crazy gift, we take a look at everything from comfort food to thoughts of travel (to someplace warmer, perhaps?):
Spring Decor Updates
Spring is a great time to freshen your interior and it doesn't have to break the bank. Whether it's metallics, specific colour tones, textures, there is likely something to appeal to everyone and bring your decor into 2018.
Capping Dinner
Portabella mushroom caps get the main course treatment when they are stuffed with a cheesy pasta filling and sprinkled with garlic-butter bread crumbs before being baked to perfection. Add an elegant salad and a glass of white wine and dinner is served!
Bread Alone?
Sometimes you have such wonderful bread that you need to make it the star of the show. Now, I'm not suggesting it be only bread, but you can showcase your favorite loaf by building layers of your favorite ingredients on its perfect foundation.
Weeknight Shorts: Take In!
Forget take out. You can just keep things all in the kitchen when you put together your favorite Chinese restaurant favorites right at home. A handful of ingredients and less than half an hour of effort will get you one of your favorites on the table.

On Decadence
When birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions coming knocking, it's time to put together something special, something sweet, something combining all those glorious ingredients you dream about. Something … decadent!
