🥕 Here's what to make with March produce
|
Hi Reader, With a few warmer days sprinkled in here and there, I am so ready for spring! March seasonal produce is *almost* to spring, but not quite yet. So we're going to see a lot of the same late winter produce: root veggies, cabbage, hardy greens, and citrus. If you have over-wintered carrots available, I highly recommend! The cooler weather makes them the sweetest carrots you'll ever eat. Towards the end of March, you might get some tender greens and herbs depending on where you live (aka how quickly your ground thaws). 1. Carrot Cake Baked OatmealThis is your sign to use carrots in wholesome breakfast food that tastes like dessert and works as meal prep. Raisins are contentious at our house... feel free omit if you need to (but I like them 😊).
2. Honey Roasted ParsnipsI didn't try parsnips until adulthood, but I absolutely love them. They get so sweet when roasted, making a simple and cozy side for winter. Another root veggie that's still in season for March!
3. Kale Frittata with Potato & CheddarClassic and comforting, this frittata is perfect for a Saturday or Sunday with leftovers for the week. We love using leftover slices in breakfast sandwiches!
4. Italian Brussels Sprouts ChopThis might be one of my favorite salads of all time. The Brussels sprouts have an amazing shreddy texture that soaks up the simple peperoncini vinaigrette. Plus, it's packed with tons of add-ins that give pasta salad vibes: feta, olives, peperoncini, marinated artichokes. So good!
5. Lemony Lentil Soup with Potatoes & DillNEW on the blog! With fresh dill and lemon for brightness, this soup is warm and satisfying without being heavy. It's perfect for the transition to spring when you're craving something fresh but also somehow craving soup at the same time.
Stay nourished, 💛 Tera

Hey Reader, To me, strawberry season means we are finally on our way to a steady summer: consistently warm days and allll the fresh berries and stone fruits are on their way. In Wisconsin, the local strawberry season is short—too short to only enjoy local strawberries. I'll eat them while they're available, but that's one thing about having a realistic approach to eating seasonally—you don't have to eat strictly seasonally, only locally, all the time. If you do, amazing. But I think I live...
Hey Reader, How are you at planning ahead and/or prepping for meals? Do you like doing it? I wouldn't say I'm a consistent meal planner or meal prep person, but when possible, I do like to have 1-2 of the following prepped for the week: proteins, grains, and/or beans (cooked from dried). They simplify weekly meals so much, plus they can be adapted with any seasonal veggies available. And this Instant Pot peperoncini chicken has been on repeat at my house for that exact purpose. It's truly a...
Hi Reader, While it's been a weirdly cold spring in the Midwest, I'm so ready for lake days, summer, long holiday weekends, and all the pasta salads and fresh food that comes with it! Whether you're home or away for Memorial Day weekend, here are a few fresh and seasonal side dish recipes to go alongside whatever you're cooking. 1.
