Roasted Spring Vegetables with Vinaigrette and are amazingly delicious and also easy to prepare. A medley of vegetables are roasted in the oven on sheet pans at high heat which intensifies their flavors –they’re perfect with a bright lemon vinaigrette served alongside.
Things are heating up around here and by that I mean both my birdhouses have brand new residents and the chipmunks and squirrels are here in full force.
The robins are back too (my favorite) and I’m sooo excited….
This Veggie Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce is super flexible and comes together quickly. The secret to a beautiful presentation is to quick cook the vegetables separately. This colorful salad looks especially great served on a white platter.
I’m happy to report I only had two tiny meltdowns last week, which is excellent.

Who knew that a humble vegetable like cauliflower could taste downright sinful? This Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower with Pesto Yogurt is savory and bright and amazingly delicious all at the same time…
I’m SO in hibernation mode right now it’s ridiculous.
Like, going to bed alarmingly early, sleeping in late, and being generally lazy when I am awake 🙂
And I don’t feel guilty about it, either….
Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Yogurt Sauce are a delicious balance of sweet and spicy with a cool hit of lime-infused yogurt drizzled over just prior to serving.
I used to run myself completely ragged with preparations for the holidays.
There was really no task too small or too Christmas-y for me….
These Citrus Roasted Carrots are a light, bright addition to any holiday table…the colors are stunning too.
I’m guessing you have at least one photo from a celebration that showcases your beautifully set holiday table.
And a long, delicious spread of mostly brown food.
Alas, this is common, and we’re going to fix that with these beautiful Citrus Roasted Carrots.

My Modern Carrot Salad was a top recipe last year, so here it is again in case you missed it. With diced shallots, fresh citrus and dried currants, this one is a keeper.
Call me psychic, but I’m guessing exactly none of you are sitting around fantasizing about eating carrot salad….
This recipe for crunchy green beans, peas and walnut salad is green.
Like Kermit, who had a bad week. (Google if you’re interested.)
I have a thing for frogs, and apparently they do for me….
With spring, there are many firsts.
There are the first shoots of green grass, tulips and daffodils. There’s the first round of major yard clean up, which in my case involves many, many tree branches that crashed to the ground from the weight of heavy snow.
This will likely result in my first backache….
There are 8 million recipes out there right now for deviled eggs.
And you’re about to get one more.
It’s sort of obvious to talk about deviled eggs in the month of April, since everyone is coloring them and hiding them and stuff….
Spring is that special time when one can finally remove the snow boots, leggings and heavy sweaters and feel light and free again.
Until the realization hits that summer is coming, with its hot weather and shorts, sleeveless shirts and bathing suits. (Insert horror movie scream here.)
