April is conceptually the first month of REAL spring, so naturally, we tend to focus on light, healthy, refreshing meal options that will help us get in shape for summer. We also get to go *nuts* at the farmer’s market after months of limited seasonal food options. It’s the month of asparagus recipes, detox recipes, and edible flowers recipes. Unfortunately, though, it’s also tax season and a SUPER busy time of year for a lot of us. Well, we’ve got you covered. These 30 recipes give you the perfect balance of healthy and convenient, with quick-and-easy dinner ideas for Monday nights and gorgeous seasonal creations for not-so-lazy Sundays.
