Spring is finally here and it’s time to welcome this splendid season with tasty spring recipes your family will love.

I love the longer afternoons of spring and I’m relieved the cold weather is gone. It felt like a very long winter and I know that many areas still aren’t yet feeling spring weather. Fortunately, we can all start turning our recipes towards spring inspired meals… and start planning Easter meals.

Collection of Tasty Spring Recipes


 

Since most grocery stores in North America carry fruits and vegetables from all around the world, many of us may not even know which fruits and vegetables are harvested in spring. It can be helpful to know what seasonal produce to include in your family’s meal planning.

What are spring vegetables?

Some of our favorite spring vegetables are:

  • Artichokes
  • Arugula
  • Asparagus
  • Cabbage
  • Kale
  • Lettuce
  • Peas
  • Radishes
  • Spinach

What are spring fruits?

Depending on where your live, you may want to shop for some of these spring fruits:

  • Apricots
  • Grapefruit
  • Honeydew
  • Lemons
  • Oranges
  • Rhubarb
  • Pineapple
  • Strawberries
 

Spring Recipes

When we welcome a new season, we love to mix up our family menu plan with some different seasonal recipes.

So we’re sharing some recipe ideas that you can make for your family this spring.
