May is here! The trees are loaded with bright green leaves and I’m thriving on the abundant sunshine. It’s time to plant our tomatoes, peppers and herbs, and I’m hoping to devote some more attention to them this year. Grace is just old enough to start helping. She’s too cute with her little green watering can.
Several holidays are coming up. For Cinco de Mayo, browse Mexican recipes here (start with the guacamole and margaritas). For the Kentucky Derby, try a maple-sweetened mint julep or strawberry-infused mint julep (start infusing the bourbon now). For Mother’s Day, check out my spring brunch roundup.
The farmers’ markets will become more colorful each week this month. Below, you’ll find some of my favorite spring recipes so we can make the most of our fresh produce.
Asparagus
Perfect Roasted Asparagus
Gluten free and easily vegan (skip the cheese)
“This is an easy and very tasty way to prepare asparagus. I could eat it every day. My 8 year old loves it too. I add parmesan and lemon. I roast the asparagus in my oven for 9 minutes. Thank you for the recipe!” – Anna
