Spring is in the air… and on your plate.
Warmer weather means more time outside with your family and less time in the kitchen. The convenience of canned foods allow you more time for fun while providing nutritious meals for your family.
Celebrate the flavors of spring with the following recipes that are quick and easy, and have been tested and approved in the Mealtime.org kitchen.
Eggs Stuffed with Herbed Shrimp
Long on Easter tradition, stuffed hard-cooked eggs – served on crisp, leafy greens – make the perfect springtime appetizer. Heaping with a shrimp-yolk filling, they’re rich in protein and zesty in flavor.
Asparagus with Mandarin-Pepper Sauce
Young, tender asparagus – topped with easy-to-prepare, Mandarin-pepper sauce – makes the perfect side dish for Easter ham or lamb. Colorful and flavorful, this nutrient-rich, low-fat sauce also makes a great topping for grilled fish or poultry.
Cool and Creamy Tropical Ambrosia
This warm weather treat, named after the Greek god of food, can be enjoyed year round with the goodness of canned fruit. Packed with vitamins A and C, this dish truly is heavenly.
Smoked Ham and Hominy Corn Chowder
It's a great chowder for brunch, lunch or dinner. Hominy is hulled corn kernal that is soaked for softness in its canned form. Many people consider corn a vegetable, when in fact it is a whole grain.
Golden Potato Salad with Creamy Harvest Dressing |
| A mouth-watering salad dressing that’s 9/10 fresh produce may seem like an impossibility until you take a taste. This rich, creamy dressing doesn’t have a smidgeon of fat, and yet it is rich enough to flavor a potato salad or lacquer an entrée of pan-roasted seafood. A 3-tablespoon portion delivers only about 50 calories. |
Salmon Pockets à la Niçoise
Pack a pita picnic for family and friends. This French-style salmon salad, stuffed in a pita, makes an easy and savory meal to enjoy. The salmon, itself, is a convenient source of heart-healthy omega-3s.
