This Rustic Ham, Asparagus and Goat Cheese Tart is flaky and delicious 

and will be the star of your spring brunch menu! 

I don't know how the weather is in your part of the world, but the last week or so has been absolutely beautiful here in Michigan. We've finally been getting lots of sun and warmer temperatures, and by warm I mean in the 60's. Which is warm for us Michiganders. 😎 I've been watching my cherry blossom tree go from tiny little buds to full on bloom in just a matter of days, and the trees and other bushes are blooming with new leaves, too. This my favorite part of spring!

Asparagus, Hazelnuts, and Mint with Quinoa and Lemon Vinaigrette #WeekdaySupper

This fresh and delicious dish combines asparagus with quinoa, mint, and hazelnuts, and is topped with a 

light lemon vinaigrette. It makes a perfect meal this time of year!

Spring has finally sprung and I've really been enjoying the beautiful weather we're having in Michigan. With this weather starts farmers market season, which I am so excited about! I love strolling through the market on a Saturday morning and picking up fresh vegetables from local growers to bring home to my family. 

Speaking of fresh veggies, I'm really excited to share this amazing Asparagus, Hazelnuts, and Mint with Quinoa and Lemon Vinaigrette recipe from Cara Mangini's new cookbook, The Vegetable Butcher!  Let me start off by saying it is a stunning and inspiring cookbook. Cara shows us in step-by-step photos how to break down a butternut squash, cut a cauliflower into steaks, turn carrots into coins and parsnips into matchsticks, and so much more. There are more than 150 simple recipes that put vegetables front and center, from this dish, to Kohlrabi Carpaccio, to a Parsnip-Ginger Layer Cake for dessert. It’s everything you need to know to make extraordinary vegetable dishes!

Asparagus & Cheddar Quiche

Tender, fresh asparagus and sharp cheddar cheese are a tasty combination in this quick and easy quiche! 

Our Blogger Recipe Challenge group was lucky enough to be sponsored by Polder's Old World Market this month! Polder's makes handmade wooden kitchenware that is absolutely beautiful. From measuring cups to spoons to spatulas, every single piece is stunning.

Each of the bloggers received an item to review. I chose the Ultimate Cooking Spoon and quickly fell in love! It's a gorgeous cherry color and is long and lean. I used it to saute my asparagus for this recipe and know I will be continue to use it for many years to come.
