Spring Recipes

Spring is in the air: snow is melting, birds are chirping, and fat squirrel season is coming to a close. Life is blooming! And with the warming temperatures comes fresh spring recipes. I have plenty of easy meal ideas to make with the season’s best ingredients, like orzo with asparagus and peas and spring watermelon and feta salad. Plus, Easter brunch favorites like classic deviled eggs. Meanwhile, this recipe for strawberries and yogurt whipped cream is one of my favorite spring desserts. These healthy recipes are sure to put a spring in your step!
