Easter is on Sunday, March 31 this year and less than two weeks away.  Most families look forward to sitting down to a nice Easter meal, complete with some early spring treats.  It is a great time of year for reflection and appreciation.  An Easter meal often starts with slow-cooked or roasted meat or main dish.  Then, depending upon tradition and what’s available, sides are usually added to the meal.  Homemade bread or rolls make a tasty treat served with a pat of butter.  And the meal is topped off with a sweet and tasty dessert.
