Shh, do you hear that? Yep, that's the sound of the doldrums of winter blowing away on a March breeze. Sure, it might snow again, and there will certainly be lots of rainy days, but we’re convincing ourselves that every one could be the last, and that
spring is truly right around the corner. With spring comes fairer weather and, our favorite, lots of fresh produce like asparagus and peas. To celebrate, we’re cutting our takeout and delivery habits (well, somewhat, we’re not monsters 😈), and getting back in the kitchen. We’ve got 40 recipes to help inspire you to make dinner this March—one for every day of the month, and then some!
We’ve included a good mix of entirely new recipes, like our dirty martini steak frites, our , and our , as well as some old classics, like our cornflake-crusted chicken tenders, our Italian beef sandwich, and our slow-cooker Korean beef. Have you been really relying on meat and cheese to get you through winter (relatable, us too!), and are looking to lighten things up before summer? We’ve got you. Our rainbow collard green wraps, our , and our butternut squash steaks are just the thing to jumpstart you out of a rut and get you ready for spring
And hey, if you’re not big on going out and celebrating spring just yet (and we get it, it’s still wintery out in March!), stay home and bring the seasonal party to you. We’re taking inspiration from the season, and including recipes that are synonymous with March holidays like St. Patrick’s Day and Easter (yep, it's early this year!).
