Dear Friends,

This month, Taste of Home Entertaining is celebrating its two-year anniversary. To share this exciting milestone, you won't believe the terrific spring specials in store! Best of all, every host and every customer can start their summer with a FREE Celebrations Cookbook!

Host a party with me in May and enjoy an anniversary special that's beautifully versatile. With two each of the Tuscan sage pillars and bowls, you'll find countless ways to mix, match and display these four pieces. Whether you top the pillars with candles, or bowl over your guests with a perfectly presented dip, this special is guaranteed to add interest and depth to any table top or garden setting.

Our May customer special is from the classic Fiona collection. Just in time for the summer's bounty of fresh flowers and refreshing beverages, the Fiona pitcher can handle them all! With a low customer price of $9.96 and a FREE cookbook, there are plenty of reasons to party with us in May!

I can share these beautiful items, plus all the cooking tools that are sure to impress the dads on your list next month. From serious stock pots to knives with an edge, there are many men who truly appreciate the quality of our products. You can use your host rewards toward a kitchen that's fit for a king. Or check out our exclusive barbeque set. While dad is taming the charcoal, your kitchen will be clean and cool.

Happy Entertaining


Party Ideas:

Cinco de Mayo
Celebrate the cuisine of Mexico by hosting your own Cinco de Mayo party! Incorporate a mix of red, green and white foods for a festive fiesta! Use our Gramercy snack dish to provide toppings from green hot peppers, red tomatoes and cool white Chihuahua cheese.

Use our ingenious chip and dip sets to serve tortilla chips and salsa. Nearby, you can perch a cheesy dip atop the Gramercy snack stand warmed by a candle below. Elevate the humble tortilla on our cake platter, or present a yummy quesadilla. Complete your buffet with a refreshing sangria or tangy tropical beverage. Our swirl pitcher and Tuscan goblets are even prettier when brimming with a colorful, cooling drink.

You'll have plenty of time to take a post-fiesta siesta because you can easily whisk these stunning pieces into the dishwasher.

Mushroom Asparagus Quiche

1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut
into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano and rubbed sage
bullet Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place in an ungreased 9-in. pie plate with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust; seal perforations. Spread with mustard; set aside.
bullet In a large skillet, saute the asparagus, onion and mushrooms in butter until asparagus is crisp-tender. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in asparagus mixture. Pour into crust.
