Colors of the Rainbow Recipes

The two essential ingredients for a rainbow are not rarities during April, as we experience everything from bright sunshine to bouts of drizzle, and sometimes both at the same time. Thus, this week’s menu includes a “rainbow” of spring favorites to help you craft a cozy weekend brunch—from smoky bacon and farmstead eggs to fresh multigrain bread, housemade marmalade, and locally-roasted coffee beans. A wide assortment of vibrant produce, such as rainbow Swiss chard, rhubarb, purple sprouting broccoli, and baby golden beets, rounds out this colorful, springtime-fresh box.

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
