Today’s Post

The weather is warming up, birds are chirping, and the days are getting longer…spring is here! It’s no secret that a huge inspiration for us (and really anyone who cooks or bakes) is seasons. Summer is for light and refreshing cold dishes, fall is for apple, pumpkin, and warming spices, and winter is full-on soup and stew season. Many of the recipes we develop take inspiration from the weather, as well as the produce that’s in season.

What’s on your Spring Menu?

When it comes to spring, the most ideal recipes celebrate brightness and freshness, but they’re still comforting to combat the lingering chill in the air from winter. There’s plenty of green, but you may not want a light meal like in the heat of summer. For example, you may not opt for a salad, but instead a pasta dish with plenty of greenery. That’s just one example! Check out the rest of today’s post for 6 recipes that are perfect for your spring menus.
