Eat the Rainbow {Spring 2013}

Oh hi there blogging friends!  I'm starting a new series today called Eat the Rainbow.  Here, I will feature in season recipes featuring produce in {almost} every color of the rainbow.  Not much blue going on if ya know what I mean.

This time- SPRING!  Such a delight for seasonal recipes.

RED-

 

Balsamic Strawberry pops. Um......... if you guys know me at at ALL you know how much I want to make these.

ORANGE-

 

Roasted sweet peppers and carrots with orange and hazelnuts.  Has a plate ever looked as beautiful as this?

YELLOW-

 

Creamy avocado linguine with meyer lemon and arugula.   OK, so this may be a tad on the green side, but the shining star here is definitely the meyer lemon.  I just adore when these little gems come around.  Sadly, they are already past their April prime around these parts, but meyer lemons are a treat I look forward to every year.

GREEN-

 

Sun dried tomato and fet stuffed artichokes.   What?  Are you kidding me?  Oh hell yes.

BROWN-

 

Crispy polenta with morels and broccoli.   Morels are SUCH a treat.  We actually very rarely eat them.  Expensive little buggers!  But man are they delicious.  This recipe just looks like a dream come true.

Have a super duper Sunday my friends!  and let me know if you find any cool colorful recipes I can use in upcoming Eat the Rainbow posts!
