36 Spring Recipes // For the last several days, I’ve woken up to the sound of song birds… For this former Vegas girl, it’s the first exciting sign of spring. Inevitably, with the awakening of the earth from it’s winter slumber, I start to crave fresh spring meals. Food that’s light, clean, crisp and colorful.

What inspires your kitchen as the seasons change? Do you relish the idea of welcoming in new dishes to your tables after the long, cold winter. I know I do!! What is your favorite spring recipe? Share a link in my comments… I would LOVE to see what you crave!
I bet Sunday's weather got you in the mood for this post. I wore capris for our last day in the "Good Life" before heading back to the Show Me State.
I had to pin several of those recipes – yum! I wonder what the Haymarket Farmer's Market will be like this year with all of the mess down there due to the new arena.
Brooke!! How did you know?! Sunday was amazing. I can’t wait for the Haymarket to open. I just missed it when we moved here in October. Hopefully the arena mess won’t create too many issues. Happy travels…

What an incredible collection. We were having spring weather as well, but that has suddenly disappeared:(
There's no link for the key lime cheesecake! My mouth was watering just thinking of that one, so is there any way you could add the link? Thanks!!
Spring cannot come fast enough! I'm so over winter this year. My favorite part about spring is being able to shop at the farmer's market and using those ingredients to make super simple, fresh recipes. Or just eating fruit straight out of the fridge!
Heather, thanks so kindly for sharing my super salad with your readers! I'm excited about Spring too!
What a fabulous collection – still very cold here in London but first flowers on their way out with the promise of spring – Alice @ Mums Make Lists
Would so love the recipe for the lime cheesecake! Everything looked so good but that is
my favorite! Thanks- Tamisporch@embarqmail.com
