30 recipes using seasonal produce to welcome spring! Easy + healthy recipes made with fresh herbs, asparagus, berries, kale,arugula, spinach, and more!
It may have been spring for nearly two weeks, but I feel like April is the official start of spring here in Massachusetts. While there still isn’t anything growing out of the still-thawing ground, April is a month of abundance, since the sun is finally back and warming up the greenhouses at all of our favorite farms, bringing lots of fresh leafy greens and herbs; in just a few weeks the first grassy green asparagus spears will start popping out of the ground.
Although we won’t have local berries until summer, spring means an abundance of great-tasting berries in the grocery stores again, so I’ve included several recipes below to take advantage those, as well!
So, let’s celebrate spring with a month’s worth of fresh, vibrant recipes! Below you’ll find 30 recipes- one for every day of the month- to help take advantage of this month of transitions. I hope you enjoy these springy recipes as much as I do!
