Asparagus Caprese Salad with a Crunchy Basil Topping

Asparagus Caprese with a Crunchy Basil Topping…for the win! Asparagus is everywhere when it comes to spring food, so I decided to marry it with the classic caprese flavors but elevate it up a bit! 
I added toasted breadcrumbs for some texture, fresh lemon juice for some brightness, and roasted the asparagus for some depth. It all comes together to create a lovely marriage of flavors. This recipe is easy to throw together for a last-minute side dish for a party or even a weeknight dinner.

Rainbow Snack Board

Snack boards are the solution to just about every problem! My kids come home “starving” every day, and they always get really excited when I pull out something fun like this rainbow snack board 🌈🌈🌈

I know snack boards can look like a lot of work, but the truth is, I just cut up some fruit and veggies, and lined them up in rainbow colors, literally, that’s it! I love this idea for St. Patrick’s Day! Quick, easy, and no more complaining! Mix it up and use whatever veggies and fruit you and your family like!

Lemony Herbed Pea Pesto Crostini

This pea pesto recipe is great to have in your back pocket because it can be made very quickly and with very few ingredients. I like to keep peas in my freezer for a number of different dishes, and also because they are inexpensive. They naturally have a pop of sweetness, so I like to add lemon for an acidic touch, garlic for a savory bite, and herbs for a fresh finish. Mix all of that together with salty parmesan cheese, and you are good to go. I like adding red pepper flakes for some heat as well, but it is definitely optional! Great for appetizers, a side dish, or the base for a dinner.
