What to Eat in April-Seasonal Food Guide

The weather is getting milder we start to see more and more recipes using fresh fruits and vegetables. I’ve pulled together some of my recipes, along with recipes from other food bloggers using the freshes fruits and vegetables that are at their peak of freshness.

When buying fresh fruits and vegetables, I highly recommend that you buy local as much as you can. Not only are you getting fresher produce but you are also supporting local business which is a win-win for everyone.

Arugula 

Arugula is a versatile green that has a peppery and slightly spicy flavor. It stands up to bold flavors

    Lots of tasty-looking ideas – I am a big fan of many of these ingredients and so always love mangoes and rhubarb coming into season, for example and many we enjoy almost year-round.
