Bright, Lite Cooking

OMG, when I walk to the fruits and vegetables section or if I pass a farmer's market when I'm driving, I just want to buy all I see.  I love the vibrant colors that spring fruit and vegetables offer to the eye.  We are ready to spring forward from the comfort dishes of fall and winter. 

We are enjoying the Texas spring weather while the temps are pleasant to sit out and grill with your favorite beverage, share some laughs, watch the kids play, and listen to some great music.  It's something about the smell of food grilling in the outdoors that makes this time of year my favorite.

This is when I get my creative juices flowing and create some excitement for the tongue to hear "wow this is so good."  I look for recipe ideas so that I can put my own spin on it like dressings for my salads, or a marinade for the meat.  Whatever it is, my goal is to make it tasty and keep them asking for it again and again. 

So let's get ready to try some new things and spring up our menus.
