Spring has arrived and April is on the horizon!
We are seeing flowers everywhere,
enjoying warmer temperatures and longer days
This month’s bucket list steers away from heavier comfort foods
and features recipes suited for lighter dishes
With a hungry tween and teen at my house
we still need to serve things to make them happy,
so the list includes several recipes with them in mind too
You can see photos of all these recipes in the April section
of my Monthly Paint Bucket Pinterest Board here
