Ahh… Spring should be here soon. The days are now getting
longer and the temperatures are rising, and we are all probably sick of eating
the same winter vegetables. Enter the bounty of Spring vegetables!
To celebrate Spring, I’m starting a Spring Vegetable
Challenge. I’m challenging my clients, readers, and myself to get excited about
eating healthy by experimenting with something new from the produce aisle each
week. I’m going to share my in-season vegetable, recipes, and experience with
you.
Here’s a list of some Spring vegetables to try:
|

· Artichokes |
· Asparagus |

My challenge to you is to try a new Spring vegetable each
week. Make an effort to push yourself, family, and friends to eat something new
and you may find yourself wanting to continue the weekly routine when the next
season rolls around.
My first experiment will be coming later in the week.
