5 Easy Dinners with Spring Produce
|
Hi Reader, The photo above is from a farmer’s market that I strolled through when I was visiting Italy last year. The fruits and veggies were so fresh and vibrant. I wanted nothing more than to buy an abundance of it and prepare some meals, but sadly I didn’t have a kitchen where I was staying. :( When I’m back home, however, it’s all about buying what’s in season, whether it’s from the farmer’s market or my local grocery store. The prices are more affordable and the food is fresher, especially if it’s been grown locally. When your produce is in season it tastes fresher, which translates to your dishes. Below I’m sharing some budget-friendly dinners that you can incorporate spring produce into quickly and easily, and even customize them based on what you have on hand. These meals are proof that eating healthfully doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult. What’s your favorite spring veggie to cook with right now? Hit reply and let me know!

Hi Reader, I'm super excited for the Fourth of July. We're going to a barbecue, so I'm going to bring a side...and probably something extra because that's how I am. 😉 I'm not sure which dish(es) I'll bring yet though -- I'm so torn! There are too many great options. For me, the side dishes steal the show. Potato and pasta salads, slaws, corn on the cob and cornbread muffins can definitely steal the show, and if you're like me, you're always on the lookout for exciting new recipes. I'm sharing...
Hi Reader, I'm in disbelief that we're over halfway through June already! I've had summer desserts on my mind A LOT lately (I've been especially craving fruit crisp!), so I thought I'd round up a collection of Fourth of July dessert ideas. They're all festive, they feed a crowd, and they can be made in advance. And there's no reason why you have to wait until the Fourth to make these. It's summer after all and these recipes make the most of it. :) Before we get to those, I've got a new recipe...
