Warm sunshine is just around the corner!

March bridges winter and spring, and early spring produce proves that winters grip is loosening.

Finally, with green on my mind (hello, St. Patrick’s Day!)

a mint green grasshopper pie fits in perfectly with these tried and true recipes.

Artichoke Soup

This creamy soup calls for five fresh artichoke hearts.

Steam the artichoke leaves and dip them in melted butter for a waste-free starter.

New potatoes are thin-skinned and small, allowing them to cook quickly.

Lemon and dill on the asparagus both brightens this dish and pairs well with the salmon.

I rub my salmon filets with olive oil, salt, and pepper before adding them to the pan.

They are cooked until they reach an internal temperature of 135F.

For me, it’s the epitome of spring comfort food.

The casserole can be assembled up to 2 days ahead of time or frozen for up to a month.

For an alcohol-free version, substitute the liqueur for peppermint extract.

Allow at least 3 hours of chilling time before serving to double-check it is fully set.
