What’s in Season: May

From apricots and kohlrabi to strawberries and peas this ‘What’s in Season’ feature is a collection of the best fruits, veggies and recipes for the month of May.

Happy May Friends! It’s finally starting to feel like spring so all of these warmer weather fruits and veggies are just the thing you’ll be looking for this month! I can’t wait to finally fire up the grill and dine al fresco for a few months. Us Midwesterners tend to spend as much time in the warmer weather months that we can outside. Breakfast on the patio, lunch in the park and dinner by the grill. After months of cabin fever and windchill, we just can’t help it! Here’s to warmer weather and lots of delicious meals in the sunshine!
