It’s finally full-on spring here in Denver (although I’m waiting for the last random snow storm we will certainly get). Spring cooking for me is always a good mix of fast recipes and lighter fare.
This list is some of my absolute favorite recipes to make as you kick off your spring season. Some are salads, some are grilled recipes, most of them can be either lunch or dinner depending on your mood.
Find something on this list and kick off spring!
