Spring Week: Recipes

What a fun Spring week this has been- thanks to all these bloggers for giving me something to write about this week!

So, onto the final theme of Spring recipes. I love using fresh fruits and veggies in my spring cooking.

I Google searched "in season fruits and veggies spring" (and removed nasty tasting veg & weird things like fiddleheads?)

Apricots	Artichokes	Arugula	Asparagus	Beets	Carrots
Chard	Cherries	Fava beans	Grapefruit	Scallions	Kiwis
Kumquats	Leeks	Lemons	Lettuce	Mint	Navel oranges
New Potatoes	Parsley	Peas	Radishes	Spinach	Strawberries

Here two of my favorite recipes that E found that I love to eat. Bonus, they incorporate some in-season vegetables and are fresh & light to enjoy in the warmer weather. 

1. Shrimp tacos
2.  Salmon, asparagus, and orzo salad

I also love, love, love overnight oats!
Currently, I’m doing, ½ cup oats, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup almond milk, 1 T. chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and agave nectar.

I definitely want to try some new variations for the Spring, like this PB&J. The chilled oat concoctions are great for warm mornings.

I also enjoy any kind of fruit & kale or spinach smoothie hen it's warm.
So, enough of the healthy stuff, 'cause you KNOW I dig on some sweets.


For Easter, I am dying to try these Cadbury egg cookie cake bars. You also can't go wrong with a homemade pie.

Cheers to Spring and some warmer weather!
