March 2021

Spring is all about bringing those pops of color back into our lives–our gardens, our wardrobes, and most importantly, our food.

Say Peas!

What better way to start off a colorful spring than green? While a hearty split pea soup might be what comes to mind when you think of peas, they are also a great way to bring a lite and delicious pop of color to meals. The freshest California peas won’t be hitting farmer's markets until April, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start bringing in spring with these reci-peas!
