How To Host An Easy Springtime Party, Have a Terrific Front Yard,
And Get Your Family Eating Healthy
Birmingham, AL – Spring is in the air and no one celebrates it more than Southern Living. In our April issue you will find no-fuss ideas for hosting an easy springtime party; how to have a terrific front yard; and recipes that will help you get your family—kids and all—to enjoy eating healthy.
Easy Springtime Party (Page 94) – Get a spectacular look and big flavors for less than $10 a person with this simple entertaining menu of: Feta Cheese Truffles; Chicken Scaloppini With Spinach and Linguine; Easy Three-Seed Pan Rolls; and Sweet Dip With Cookies and Fruit. [Some recipes available for reprint depending on usage, contact Helen_Todd@timeinc.com]
5 Ideas for the Front Yard (Page 60) – Think your landscape is hopeless? We overhauled a lackluster lawn and got big results in just four months. Our no-fail tips include: Start with a smooth bed line; don’t clog corners – give plants plenty of breathing room; mass plants for impact; surround a sitting area with plants; and place details where they can be appreciated.[Before and after home images are available.]
Steal These Secrets (Page 71) -- Don’t let this spectacular season go to waste. Make your porch the new living room and check out these tips from our porch redo in Nashville. Think about oversize comfy chairs instead of filling a room with furniture; consider painting brick a custom white and varying the wall and trim color; and matchy-matchy is a no-no – always decorate your porch as if it’s a room in the house.
Sneak in the Good Stuff (Page 118) – Getting your family to eat healthy doesn’t have to be a chore – just sneak it past them with these tasty recipes: Tomato-Herb Pasta; Zucchini Soup; and Baby Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing.
Viva San Antonio – (Page 102) – Southern Living Assistant Travel Editor Tanner Latham digs a little deeper than the usual River Walk and Alamo stops – check out his finds for a truly multicultural experience like no other with art, music, and great tacos!
