Get the Best of Both Worlds When Spring is Hot & Cold

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold; when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade". -Charles Dickens

Spring is a wonderful time and the days feel bright and summery. We spend a lot of time outside, but the chill is still lingering. We crave fresh foods, but still get a little cold in our bones. I hope this light stew recipe gives you the freshness you crave, but also warms you up and keeps you cozy.

This picture was taken just after I put this together and it already looks delicious!
