A collection of spring-inspired recipes that are perfect for Easter! Everything from bright breakfasts to healthier Easter candy to spring dinner spreads.
Lately I’ve been thinking a *lot* about Spring-cleaning.
It’s been a universal theme lately in my circles, popping up on podcast episodes, in yoga sessions, and in my group texts.
Clearing out the old junk and making room for the new.
I always feel raw and reborn in the Spring-time, emerging from a winter cocoon with pasty legs sticking out of flowing floral springs skirts and dresses.
Yesterday I saw friends and family I hadn’t seen in person in over a year, which in itself was a rebirth, a sense of returning and renewal.
As I air-hugged goodbye, I felt hope that with this renewal, maybe air-hugging will soon be a thing of the past.
But until then I’ll close the distance between you and me the way I know best, with some delicious recipes.
I can’t quite believe how early Easter is this year– it’s in the first week of April!
I love how Easter marks the beginning of Spring, the kick off for bountiful bright farmer’s market produce, and of colorful candies and treats.
