Our Top 10 Favorite Spring Recipes

The days of heavy winter layers are over- spring is officially here! While we enjoyed the long and cold season full of hearty beef stews, pot roasts, and potato soups, we are definitely ready to enjoy the fresh and bright flavors that a new season brings. Enjoy creating some of these recipes while the days continue to get longer and the sun shines a little brighter.

1. Roast Chicken Thighs with Peas & Mint
The combination of flavors are bright and fresh, perfect for a warm spring night. Pro tip: save the leftover sauce to top your favorite starch- we love it on top of Isreali couscous to balance out the meal!

It can be served warm as a side dish to accompany any Five Star Home Food fish, poultry, or beef, or served chilled as a hearty and bright spring salad.

5. Garlic Rubbed Pork Shoulder with Spring Vegetables
Though this recipe calls for pork shoulder, our pork gets the special spring treatment by being dry rubbed with garlic and herbs, creating a perfectly crispy yet juicy result. Serve with red bliss smashed potatoes for a real treat!

9. Roasted Salmon with Creme Fraiche and Vegetables
Busy night? Try this one tray salmon dish! Even though this meal can be thrown together in less than 35 minutes, the end result is nothing short of amazing. The brightness of the creme fraiche melts into the salmon, creating a flakey and restaurant worthy meal.
