30 Seasonal Recipes to Make in April

Let’s chat about all of the bright and fresh recipes to make in April!

While this month is still a bit of transition to Spring, there are still a lot of delicious dishes to make.

Plus I’ve got recipe ideas for your Easter brunch and dinner menus!

If you enjoy cooking more seasonally, I highly recommend Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden. He walks you through all of the ways to enjoy vegetables from early-Spring through Winter. This book has given me so many new ideas on how to cook different vegetables during this time of year.

And speaking of vegetables, I’m currently planning what to plant in my vegetable garden! Growing your own food is absolutely so satisfying. Once we’re in the midst of the summer I love being able to go outside and pick what I need for the recipe I’m cooking.  This year I’m going to try a few different types of radishes and some of our other favourites like beets, carrots, lettuces, jalapeno peppers and tomatoes.
