🫛 spring veggies


Hi Reader,

It's finally starting to feel like spring, and my produce selection is reflecting it.

🫛 Sugar snap peas: While I like them raw in salads and with hummus, if I want to eat them cooked, I love making Sugar Snap Peas Stir Fry. It only takes 15 minutes to make, and the Asian-inspired flavors perfectly complement the tender spring veggies.

🥕 Baby carrots: Yes, you can find bags of them all year round, but they feel extra fun in spring. Air Fryer Baby Carrots are sweet and tender and ready in 20 minutes. I've included a variety of ways you can season them.

🍋‍🟩 Limes: I don't make a lot of desserts, but when I do, they have to be easy, delicious, and preferably no bake. Raw Key Lime Pie is a recipe from Blossom in New York City featuring a crust made with nuts and dates and a creamy filling starring fresh lime juice, coconut milk, and avocados.

Love and Veggies,

Amy

Avocado and tofu sandwich on a plate.

Hi Reader, While I never feel deprived eating a plant-based diet, one thing I was missing recently was a satisfying sandwich. So I decided to try baking seasoned thin slices of tofu to use as a deli meat, and I was so pleased with the results. You only need 4 ingredients to make it, and there's no marinating time. I loaded my tofu sandwich up with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado on sourdough, but the you can choose your favorite toppings, spread, and bread. I'd love to hear how you make yours...

Cashew herb dip on a platter with potato chips.

Hi Reader, I love having a go-to appetizer recipe in my back pocket for easy snacking and entertaining. Bonus points if it's made with ingredients I always have on hand, like dried herbs and spices. Creamy Cashew Herb Dip is simple to make in a blender and tastes great with raw veggies, crackers, or chips. I do recommend refrigerating it for at least an hour for the best flavor and texture.
