Spring—the time of the year when everything gets a little greener—is just around the corner. In preparation for the upcoming season, take time to keep some green in your wallet by making some seasonal favorites at home instead of going out.
Fresh produce is back in season. Take advantage by incorporating fresh fruits and veggies into your menu. Try our Grilled Chicken Salad with Fresh Raspberries, with crisp greens tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette, accompanied by warm flatbread for a light, refreshing meal this March. Want something to satiate your sweet tooth? Bring in the season's best fruits when you make this Fresh and Fruity Sundae Bar.
Just because the weather is warming up doesn't mean the comfort foods need to go away. Instead, give your sweet favorites a seasonal makeover. Decorate your cookies, cakes, and other tasty treats with light pastel colors, and tart them up with a hint of citrus. Our Springtime Sugar Cookies are enhanced with a hint of orange peel to give this old classic a tarty twist.
As seasonal activities start to gear up, you and your family are on the go. Rather than succumb to overpriced, unhealthy food while you're out and about, you can make your own treats to take with you on the road. This Popcorn Trail Mix has granola, oats, cranberries, and sunflower seeds flavored with honey—perfect to take to a sporting event or a picnic, or even on a spring-break road trip. Craving something more substantial? Our American Tradition Turkey Sandwich is filled with sliced apples and a tangy cranberry cream-cheese spread, and is easy to eat on the go.
