Now that the weather is changing here in the Bay Area, I’ve had to put away some of my winter clothes (yay!). My body is also craving change. It’s the time of year where I start ditching heavy foods for lighter fare. But first, I have to remind myself what is in season during Spring so I can exploit all the fresh produce at my farmer’s market!
Let’s dip into the Shutterbean archives and figure out What to Eat in Spring!

One of the simplest recipes! We’re starting to see strawberries pop up here in California and I am so excited!
