As the snow quickly disappeared this week and the buds of spring began to sprout, the color of the season is beginning to shine thru and just in time for Easter. The green grass, the yellow daffodils, the bright blue Peeps and yes, pink champagne. With spring in full bloom, the thought of celebrating and creating/sharing memories has sprung to mind. And what better way to celebrate that popping the cork.

While the kids are searching for eggs and consuming pounds of sugar, sit back and watch while enjoying a glass of bubbly; why should the kids have all of the fun. The Raspberry Sorbet Bellini is a fun and yummy way to mix things up by adding color, sparkle and even fruit to your Easter or spring gathering.  If sorbet is not your thing; simply adding a piece or two of fruit to a glass of prosecco or champagne as a light alternative. This is a staple my sisters (AKA Mary Poppin Bottles); she loves prosecco with a frozen slice of peach. A very light way to enjoy the crispness of the champagne or prosecco. And, there is, of course, the traditional splash of your favorite juice…so many options.

Another indulgence is the Lemon Cream Dessert. The burst of sunshine yellow and a burst of lemon to wake up the taste buds. The dessert is a special treat for those that love lemon, cream cheese and don’t mind the calories. It is a labor of love to construct as there are multiple levels, but truly worth the effort. The dessert also serves as many as 18, so a great option if you need to feed a crowd….which is always a need in this house.

Happy Easter, Passover and Spring…ENJOY!
