Several of the recipes in this story were among my absolute favorite to research, write and test. Special occasion foods are just that; meant for special occasions. Just like the occasions themselves, they are often labor intensive but worth every minute in the end. From this Mediterranean Easter Menu, published in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review on March 27, 2013, I highly recommend trying any or all of the recipes for your next special occasion meal. The Italian Easter Pie will knock your socks off! The Spanish Potatoes of Importance are decadent and mouth watering. The Roman Lamb Stew is delicate and velvety smooth. The Warm Brussels Sprouts Slaw is good for any meal. And the Asparagus with Leeks and Spanish Easter Cakes are simple to prepare and incredibly delicious. Savor the time it takes to prepare a meal like this for the people close to you, whether it's a holiday or just a weekday and enjoy every bite!

First Day of Spring? Finally!
There are government officials in Ohio who want to kill Phil, the groundhog. But Pittsburghers know this extended winter is nothing new at all and can certainly not be blamed on an uneducated little critter like Phil. There are certified meteorologists out there that didn't predict this correctly either. What should we do with them? Regardless of where you stand on the groundhog death penalty, the fact that spring is a little late this year, only means that we have to wait a bit longer before enjoying the first, young "fruits" of the season. This "First Day of Spring Menu" was published in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review on March 20, 2013. But now that it's April 3, the local ingredients should actually start to become available locally. Enjoy!!
Welcome the Season with this Bright and Light Menu
