Spring Time

Warm Sunny Days lately - windows are opened, house is getting it's spring cleaning and I am happy to see the sun every day - just wish I could sleep at night.

Getting ready for Farmer's Markets to open again for the season. Need to get some fresh fruits and veg into me and I am tired of the usual suspects that we get in the winter in New England - carrots, parsnips, potatoes, squash, apples. I want artichokes, asparagus, bok choy, berries - blackberries, strawberries, wild blueberries and lately I am craving mango so I will be steaming some artichokes tonight and making a mango puree for greek yogurt/granola parfaits. Brown sugar rubbed salmon with steamed asparagus and quinoa...Lots of lemon is in order as well - lemon curd cakes, zest and juice added to dishes. And I am going to continue enjoying my ruby red grapefruit for as long as I can get them....
