With all of the craziness swirling around last week, the official arrival of Spring sort of slipped right by me. Normally, that sort of news would have me doing cartwheels. This year, it’s a bit more of a subdued response.

But the fact is that a new season is upon us and we still have to eat, so in that guardedly hopeful spirit, I’ve compiled a list of some of my tried and true warmer weather favorites that sometimes get lost in all the new food I post around here.

They run the gamut from breakfast to dessert and as expected, there’s a whole lot of asparagus, lemon and other fresh fruits and veggies, which may or may not be tough for you to get right now, depending on where you live. No worries—Spring is here for a while and these recipes aren’t going anywhere either, so no impulse runs to the market. Let’s all keep each other safe! Hang in there, my friends!
