Spring Recipes

Spring is in the air: snow is melting, birds are chirping, and fat squirrel season is coming to a close. Life is blooming! And with the warming temperatures comes fresh spring recipes. I have plenty of easy meal ideas to make with the season’s best ingredients, like orzo with asparagus and peas and spring watermelon and feta salad. Plus, Easter brunch favorites like classic deviled eggs. Meanwhile, this recipe for strawberries and yogurt whipped cream is one of my favorite spring desserts. These healthy recipes are sure to put a spring in your step!

5-ingredient Sweet Potato Latkes – a healthier take on the traditional deep fried potato pancakes, these are lightly pan fried in a small amount of olive oil, made with sweet potatoes instead of white and made EASY by using a spiralizer because it eliminates the need to grate the potatoes, which can take a lot of time.

You're going to LOVE these baked eggs, baked in a nest of spaghetti squash which has a flavor similar to hash browns. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, and because I love my eggs with sriracha, I top mine with a few dashes just for an extra kick, totally optional of course.

Not your ordinary tacos – these Thai chicken lettuce tacos are spicy and exotic, made with my light peanut sauce which I make with PB2 (powdered peanut butter) sriracha, ginger and spices. To balance out the spice, I chose to serve these in crisp cool lettuce wraps but tortillas would work great too!

Scallops are great for a quick meal any night of the week and are a real treat. They can be quickly sautéed, then added to salads like this Scallop and Baby Green Citrus Mojo Salad, and this delicious Scallop and Grapefruit Salad, but once in a while when I want something more substantial, I love it with pasta. Here I tossed it with some pasta and peas, for a dinner that took less than 15 minutes to make.
