My Best Recipes for Spring Produce

I love hearty meals in a bowl as much as the next guy, but it’s time to swap out beef stew and chili for recipes highlighting fresh spring produce. Here in the upper Midwest, we love anything that comes out of the ground as early asparagus, morels, ramps and rhubarb. And now that it’s finally time to savor the beautiful flavors of the season, here are 12 recipes to get you cooking.
