Hi ,
Who else is ready for spring? This week, I found myself longing for
- sunshine,
- warm weather,
- buds on trees,
- and all things light and bright.
Realistically, here in Chicago, we have several more weeks of winter to go.
While I may not be able to change the temperature outside or the amount of snow on the ground, I can channel spring-y vibes in the kitchen.
5 Recipes to Make When You're Longing for Spring
At this time of year, I start to swap out comfort food for fresher, more colorful dishes. Think
- salads,
- grain bowls,
- and herb-flecked pastas.
You'll find 5 of my favorites below. These vibrant recipes will bring a taste of spring sunshine to your kitchen. Add them to your rotation for the next few weeks, and voila! Spring will be here before you know it.
citrus salad with fennel and avocado
Let's take advantage of peak-season citrus while we can! Juicy orange and grapefruit segments play off savory roasted fennel and creamy avocado.

easy pesto pasta
Holding out for summer basil? Use my broccoli pesto or kale pesto instead of the traditional kind.

Creamy Mushroom Polenta
This recipe is perfect for the transition from winter to spring. It's still creamy and comforting, but a zingy chimichurri sauce fills it with bright flavor.

Our grill is still buried in a foot+ of snow, so lately, I've been making this crave-worthy recipe on a grill pan instead.
