non-easter dinner

Just a few photos from Saturday's non-Easter dinner.

Non-Easter because we had Easter dinner on Sunday.

But needed an excuse to spend a Saturday evening devouring good food with even better friends and family.

Of course, I found out around lunchtime that day that we would be hosting this little event.

 

  So I didn't really have time to throw a table setting together other than using what I already had.

Some vases from around the house, spring flowers and bowls of colorful candies.

Sometimes simple is best.

Especially when you need extra room for all the delicious food.

 

Fresh Parmesan roasted asparagus

And brussel sprouts with roasted garlic and shallots.

And summer desserts.

Creamy lemon squares topped with lemon zest and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

And fruit-topped cream cheese sugar cookies.

Non-holidays might be the best holidays.

I wish every Saturday was filled with dinners like this.
