Happy May!
Finally Spring has truly arrived everywhere and we can all dance around the Maypole!
I was truly torn choosing the Flavor of the Month, but finally decided to embrace Cinco de Mayo and the Flavor of the Month is Healthier Mexican, and see if we can lighten up some traditional Mexican favorites

The flavor of the month was Strawberry 🍓
I only made two strawberry dishes, but you can visit a round-up of my best strawberry recipes here

Jiffy Jiffy Cornbread is an easy and delicious moist cornbread full of corn and cheese
Spring Vegetables with Parmesan Cream from the Proud Italian Cook and Sesame Zoodles from Cookies & Cups combined into a wonderful sheet pan dish, Spring Sheet Pan Zoodles & Pasta
I got the idea for Strawberry, Apple & Pear Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette from Natasha’s Kitchen, but ended up making a different Fresh Strawberry Dressing from Cooktoria
Spaghetti Pie from Julie’s Creative Lifestyle turned into Creamy Asparagus & Spaghetti Pie
No Bake Strawberry Lemonade Pie from Bread Booze Bacon turned into Sarah’s Luscious Lemon Pie
