FOOD

It’s definitely spring in Idaho Falls, Idaho. We’ve got wind, sporadic rain, our lawns and leaves are almost completely green.  Most people have planted their gardens, fingers crossed, hoping it won’t freeze again! Our produce departments are bursting with bitter berries because they’re not quite in season. But, the stores want us to get excited for fresh produce! We buy it because it’s pretty and we’re excited for fresh berries!  But, it’s not very good so we utilize them for texture and color and mix them with with fresh produce that does taste good.

In this fresh produce interim faze, “BOWLS” are a fun way to transition into Summer culinaria! Here are a few I’m dying to try!
