It’s beginning to feel a lot like summer! Life can get busy, so we wanted to take the guesswork out of meal planning with these simple spring recipes to take advantage of the wonderful produce in season. Follow the meal plan below for 2 easy breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 4 dinners so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time outside! This should last you the week, understanding that Spring and Summer get busy, and you want some flexibility for other food too 😉 Did you know planning your meals before grocery shopping can save you hundreds of dollars each month?
Prep Tip:
All these recipes can be adapted to use various produce! We recommend using the local filter to check what’s in season or using what comes in your fresh harvest box!
Dinners:
