Weighing In
  Plan a Springtime Celebration
Spring is the perfect season to cook up an impromptu dinner and invite some friends over. Take a trip to your local farmers market or produce stand and choose from the season’s wide array of colorful veggies: asparagus, carrots, and baby greens are particularly good this time of year. Then, whip up one of our chicken recipes, and serve your springtime meal on a decorative tabletop.

Spring Chicken Recipes
1 Work with white. It’s a basic color that’s easy to dress up.
1 Choose one accent color, such as blue. It’ll get too expensive
to incorporate many.
1 If you have a favorite tray or item, use that as your focus and work around it.
1 Votives are cheap, yet elegant accents.
1 Don’t spend a fortune on flowers; daisies are reasonably
priced and look great.
1 Work with a fun color scheme. Citrusy colors are particularly fun for spring.
1 Buy fabrics such as raw silk for tablecloths. They come in a
lot of colors and won’t wrinkle.
1 Use colorful silk ribbons to create your own fancy
table runner.
1 Find new plates with colored rims to dress up your table.
1 Splurge on elegant flowers such as hyacinths or calla lilies.
