Spring into Summer Recipes
This week’s box pays homage to the best spring ingredients—baby red potatoes, bright Pink Beauty radishes, creamy Hakurei turnips—while looking forward to summer with colorful sweet pea blooms and the first stone fruits of the season, gorgeous apricots. Top those ripe beauties with our signature cobbler crust mix and pop it into the oven for dessert, then have fun in the kitchen with the other provisions included in this bright lineup: Pain au Levain bread, fresh eggs from the henhouse and our rich and silky crème fraîche, plus chai-spiced peanut butter and a plethora of greens including Swiss chard, Little Gem lettuce and Lacinato kale.
Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
