The cover of the April/May 2021 issue of Allrecipes magazine proclaims “Bring on Spring,” and I couldn’t agree more!
Whether you want to try something new, like the radish top soup on the cover, or you are looking for spring roll recipes, the issue is likely to have something for you. I even found a no-cook, super simple idea for clementines and blueberries that even the youngest child — and the young at heart — would enjoy.
Allrecipes gives three low-sugar snack suggestions using fruits and vegetables to create the shapes of bumblebees, butterflies and ladybugs. The feature suggests using toasted oval baguette slices and whipped cream cheese spread as the base, then top each with your fruits and/or veggies. I had bagels in my kitchen, so used them instead of the baguette slices. After toasting them I spread the whipped cream cheese on top and added clementine segments for the butterfly wings, blueberries for the body, and thin strips of clementine zest for the antennae.
For even more springtime suggestions, why not borrow Allrecipes from Whitehall Public Library; it’s also available on Flipster.
