I don’t know about where you live, but it’s full on Spring here in Utah. My daffodils and tulips are in full bloom already and we’ve been jacket-less playing at the park on most days. Everett and I have gone out on multiple occasions to snip fresh flowers around the yard to put in jars around our house. He always takes a big sniff, inhaling the smells of spring. Oh and our dinner table is all Spring too, peas in our pasta, mushrooms over our salads, and asparagus in just about everything.
Today I hope to give you some great inspiration for Spring, wherever you are. And check back next Monday for more Spring recipe ideas from around the web. Follow #eatseasonal on instagram for even more ideas of what to do with Spring produce!

**radishes should be on the list above but somehow got missed! They are in season in select areas across the country right now.
Also, here’s an image to save to your iPhone or Pinterest for this month! The top image is perfect for your computer desktop as a reminder of what to eat as you plan you meals this month.
I always love these seasonal produce lists! They are so inspiring and the photography you pair them with is always beautiful. Seasonal produce is always the best and most flavorful option! thanks for putting these together.
Lindsey, great to hear that you’re enjoying them. They’re a great reminder for me too!! Please come back to the blog and share what you made this month using seasonal produce! I’d love to hear!
Another gorgeous wallpaper!
Lovely photo and great round-up! I can’t wait to make that Asian Slaw!
One of my favorite recipes this time of year is compound radish butter. http://projectdomestication.blogspot.com/2012/07/compound-radish-butter.html Perfect on a crusty slice of bread and a salad. 🙂
Thanks so much for the link Becky!! I LOVE radishes with butter so your radish butter would be perfect!
Always look forward to this post. And I am all about the radishes right now!
Can’t wait for the boy to make an appearance! You will be the cutest mom ever.
Thanks Kalyn, I can’t wait for you to meet him!
Oh how I love these spring foods! And they must be even more special to you knowing that the big day is so close! I’ll be thinking of you this month, as I know the final stretch can be tough (especially if you’re as impatient as I am). Cheers!
Elizabeth, thanks for your note! Hopefully we can just make the most of this month and it will go by quickly 🙂
Finally got my desktop de-cluttered so I can enjoy your screen-savers more! I love scallions! It’s how I get “non-onion” eaters to add more flavor to their foods. Wishing you well this last month! Yay he’s almost here!
