What to Cook This March

Thank goodness March is here. January and February were full of snow days and sicknesses, and I thought we’d never make it! The days are growing longer, the birds are chirping, and I love how the spring sunshine illuminates our kitchen.

Asparagus is on its way, and we’ll finally have more fresh fruits and vegetables to work with this month. I’m looking forward to cooking my favorite green curry soon, shown below. You’ll find more seasonal recipes in this post!
