The thought of spring is so nice right? Birds finally starting to chirp. Flowers finally starting to blooms. Sweaters finally starting to become an afterthought rather than a necessity. But, BUT, my beef with spring it’s that it’s always sort of wishy-washy or undecided about its presence.
When I was living in Florida or Louisiana, it went from bone-chillingly damp and cold to hot overnight. Here, in the north, it goes from cold, to rainy, to 60 degrees, only to snow again the next day. That’s where we are here.
That being said, coming up with food that is decided spring is also wishy-washy. We’re not quite ready to jump into summer foods, with salads every day and night, but we’re not really into the idea of eating stuff that’s going to sit heavy in our bellies all day.
