With thousands of recipes on this blog, many favorites get lost to internet turnover. Here are the dishes I’m most excited to revisit this season: artichokes, lemon, asparagus—and everything in between.

All together, these recipes feel like spring on a plate.

I may already have three bunches of asparagus in the fridge and a jar of lavender ready for coffee syrup.

This collection includes quick weeknight dinners, a few indulgent treats (carrot cake bread with Nutella swirl, anyone?), and a granola that we can’t stop eating. Many of these are staples in our home—the queso frittata and banana spice muffins are constant go-tos.

I’m always hunting for simple weeknight meals we can pull together quickly after a long day. I’d love to hear your favorite easy spring dinners in the comments.
