I believe (though I hope I don’t regret saying this) that Spring has officially come to western Massachusetts. This morning, I went to church without a coat on. The temperature reached 70 degrees and it was awesome. I drove with a window down. The crocuses in my yard are blooming. The tulips I forgot I planted are coming up. And I went for a walk in a long sleeved t-shirt.
As always, the beginning of a season gets me really excited about cooking. New ingredients! New occasions! New weather! Hopefully some of these recipes help inspire you as well:
