How the heck is it already March 28th? Friday is the 1st, and I for one, am so, so, SO ready for Spring. (Let’s just pretend that the whole snowing thing didn’t happen last Thursday.)

Spring, for me, means chilly mornings and evenings, and warm, sunny afternoons. Spring also means light, fresh foods that still have a little comfy coziness to them. You know?

To celebrate the final days of March, I thought I’d gather up my very Best Spring Recipes!

Bring oooooon the warm, sunny days!

Spring Recipes for Breakfast:

Healthy Breakfast Sandwich

Spring mornings can still be chilly! Cozy with up a healthy breakfast sandwich made of eggs, veggies, & optional turkey & cheese! Make these the day of or make them in advance & store in the freezer!
