This recipe combines the best of winter with the best of spring. Prepared pesto is one of my favorite convenience foods. Combined with curly pasta, tender chicken, and fresh, crisp vegetables, it makes this salad sing.
Linda LarsenThis wonderful dessert is gorgeous, delicious, and easy to make. The flavor is mild, sweet and tart, and the color is pure spring.
Linda LarsenI adore this sandwich. The bread, made from pizza dough, is perfect, and the filling has just the right combination of moistness and crunch. And the avocados are the perfect finishing touch. I think I'm going to make it tomorrow!
Linda LarsenThis fabulous bread is perfect for breakfast on the run. And as the end of the school year nears, you're probably racking your brain for something else to serve the kids in the morning. This bread is the answer!
Asparagus, peas, and lemon mean spring; there's no doubt about that. This fabulous salad can be served as a side dish to grilled meats, or add some cooked ham, chicken, or shrimp for an easy main dish.
Did you know there's a scientific reason for serving mint jelly with lamb? The mint cuts through the unctuous richness of the lamb fat. This wonderful recipe pairs tender little chops with color: red bell peppers and sugar snap peas. Yum!
I love this recipe. It's not often that you find a yeast roll recipe that doesn't require any kneading. And the honey glaze on these soft rolls adds the perfect touch of flavor.
I've been finding the sweetest, juiciest cantaloupes in the grocery store these days. This recipe is one of the best ways to use that succulent fruit. Use whatever fruits look good in your market.
This recipe is perfect for entertaining guests, or for a special brunch when you really want to impress someone. One of the best things about it (besides the taste!) is that you have to make it ahead of time, so all you do in the morning is bake and serve.
And finally, this fabulous salad is perfect for lunch or dinner. The combination of colors, textures, and flavors is so wonderful you'll make it often this spring. Now get outside and enjoy the nice weather!
