#MonthofMeals April – Your Monthly Menu Collection

monthly menu planner

Happy (almost) April! I’ve never been so excited about spring coming. In my life. Winter was brutal. We can all only hope that with April will come sunshine and flowers and all things beautiful. Oh yea, and pollen. But that’s another blog post. 🙂

April cooking means new seasonal veggies – you’ll see plenty of asparagus and spinach in this menu (Check out the Creamy Asparagus Soup recipe)! It means cleaning up that grill and getting back to cooking outside (can’t wait for those veggie packets on the grill). Let’s not forget Easter! It’s my absolute favorite holiday to cook for! Stay tuned for a fabulous Easter menu that we’ll be putting together next week.

So, without further ado…. Your April #MonthofMeals: A MomFavorites.com Monthly Menu Collection
