With the first day of spring right around the corner here are 3 examples of mushrooms that commonly grow in the spring: OYSTER: These versatile and popular mushrooms tend to show up a bit earlier than morels and have a longer growing season. They favor cool, damp weather and can be found growing on logs, stumps, or even in urban areas. MORELS: These prized edible mushrooms are highly sought after by foragers for their unique honeycomb appearance and delicious flavor. They typically appear in late April and can be found until mid-June in temperate regions, often near trees. CHANTERELLES: These brightly colored funnel-shaped mushrooms with a fruity aroma and peppery flavor can be found in spring and early summer. They are typically associated with coniferous trees. #mushrooms #oystermushrooms #morels #chanterelles #wild #spring #mushroomwisdom

Back on my Eat More Plants theme! One simple thing is to aim for a wider variety of plants. The more diverse the better. Every plant food is a little parcel of interesting nutrients and fibre compounds so the more variety over the course of the week means a the number of beneficial things you stack up is greater. Even variety within a theme - cabbage can be white, red, savoy, Brussels, green etc Peppers come in different colours and shapes. Different varieties of apples and grapes and oranges - not only do the different types have slightly different nutrients they also taste different and have different textures, giving more interest to your meals. #morecolour #moreplants #eatmoreplants

The most frequently served side dish for all our events is a platter of grilled vegetables. Seasonal, locally available vegetables are cut into one-inch pieces, tossed with some olive oil and sea salt, and roasted in a hot oven (400-425 degrees). Root vegetables, available pretty much year-round, include yams (try purple yams), beets, carrots, turnips, and celeriac. In spring and summer, we add summer squash, eggplant or cauliflower. For some accent color, try some Brussels sprouts, cut in half, and tossed in oil and salt. The vegetables can be served alone or on a bed of seasonal greens, with a splash of balsamic and some fresh marjoram and rosemary. Remember -- food is like feng shui: if it's all beige, there's no energy! #GrilledVegetables #SeasonalSides #LocalProduce #VegetablePlatter #FarmtoTable #HealthyEats #ColorfulPlates #RoastedVeggies #RootVegetables #FreshHerbs #HealthyLiving #EatYourVeggies #VeggieMedley #VibrantDishes #FarmersMarketFinds #BalsamicGlaze #FoodieGram #CreativeCooking
