Hi Friend,

Something I look forward to every spring is the arrival of fresh strawberries. While they're available year-round, they truly taste best in season, which is now. Rhubarb is also in season, but not for long. So, if you plan on making a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (recipe below) now is your chance.

Find some of my favorite strawberry-inspired recipes below!

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE - The farmer's markets are teeming with ripe red strawberries now, and rhubarb is only available for a few months out of the year. If you're planning to bake a strawberry rhubarb pie, now is the time. RECIPE HERE or  PIN IT for later.

SALMON WITH STRAWBERRIES, BALSAMIC, AND BASIL - This uncommon pairing of simple ingredients results in a symphony of bright flavors. It's a quick, easy, and unexpected entree, just perfect for spring. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.

STRAWBERRY BASIL MARTINI - The combination of sweet, ripe strawberries and crisp, peppery basil works surprisingly well together. Add a splash of fresh lime juice, an aromatic sprig of fresh basil, and voila! You've got a sophisticated spring cocktail. RECIPE HERE or  PIN IT  for later.

ALL ABOUT FAVA BEANS - There are so many different varieties of fava beans available today, and preparation techniques vary widely. My hope is that this post will answer all of your questions on how to prepare fava beans, so you can stop wondering and start eating. TUTORIAL HERE or PIN IT for later.

PERSIAN DILL AND LIMA BEAN RICE - This is one of my all time favorite side dish recipes… it's delightfully fragrant and tastes buttery without dairy. The version I've grown to love is made with lima beans, but you can also use fresh young fava beans. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.
