The Easter, on Sunday April 12th is a holiday that involves many traditions.  Of course, celebrating the religious holiday is at the top of the list, but for many people Easter is a holiday that involves bringing family together.  In fact, food and getting creative are an important part of the festivities for many people.Parker Wallace, founder of What’s on Parker’s Plate and the author of a best-selling cookbook, called:Eat Rich, Stay Skinny: A Girls’ Guide to Holiday Feasting” is available to share some timely recipes and ideas for making this a memorable Easter.

TASTY WAY TO CELEBRATE EASTER DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES
For me, great meals start with great cheese and you should know that Wisconsin is The State of Cheese, because Wisconsin Wins more awards for cheese than any other state, region or country. With many of us sheltering indoors, people are cooking and coming up with tasty ways to feed our families. With Wisconsin cheese, you can create some great dishes that will make this a memorable Easter like this Bacon Gouda Crustless Quiche. Also, Wisconsin Cheese is a tasty appetizer that pairs with many wines. Bubbles are a fun pairing partner with Wisconsin Cheeses. The crisp acidity of a sparkling wine pairs nicely with a bold cheese, such as this velvety blue. Also, Rosé is known for its fruity notes – and pairs incredibly well with this sweet, savory and nutty parmesan. The Key is to look for a proven winner, the Proudly Wisconsin Cheese badge on packaging nationwide.  For more recipes, visit WisconsinCheese.com

TASTY BEVERAGE FOR YOUR EASTER CELEBRATION  
One recommendation is to “Stellabrate” this Easter with America’s favorite semi-sweet, semi-sparkling wine Stella Rosa!  Stella Rosa’s delicious award-winning wines are easy to pair with any cheese, making them the perfect wine for your holiday meal. I’m really excited about the newest flavors to the Stella Rosa family Stella Rosa Watermelon and Pineapple, which are both perfect for spring, they also make a great base for a refreshing Stella Rosa cocktail! You can also choose from a variety of sparkling wines, like Stella Rosa Prosecco with natural pear and yellow apple flavors, and the Moscato Rose’ filled with hints of Georgia peach and wildflower. And of course, there are always the iconic semi sparkling wines in this collection like the original Stella Rosa Rosso which is bursting with fresh berries…and Stella Rosa Rose’, with juicy strawberry notes.  You can find all of these at your local grocery or liquor store, or order online at Stellarosa.com.
