There's a small window in the late spring and early summer when fresh peas are available. Sweet, tender, and grassy, they're delicious on their own, buttered, or incorporated into pastas, salads, and frittatas or quiches. There are frozen peas available year-round, but there's a certain thrill that accompanies finding fresh sweet peas at your local farmers market.

Simply Recipes / Photo by Victor Protasio / Food Styling by Jennifer Wendorf / Prop Styling by Julia Bayless This weekend-worthy recipe has the spiced flavors of classic carrot cake in a crisp, golden waffle form. Each bite combines the earthy sweetness of finely shredded carrots with warm notes of cinnamon. Combining the best aspects of carrot cake and waffles, they are crispy on the outside with a soft, tender interior.

This salad dressing is a simple mix of equal parts pesto and Greek yogurt. We recommend good-quality, refrigerated pesto (as opposed to jarred pesto) for its flavor and vibrant color. Besides green salads, try this dressing with pasta or grain salads, or spooned over chicken, fish, or vegetables. I rarely buy store-bought dressings. I often find the flavors flat and too sweet, and by the time I get halfway through a bottle, I’m already sick of it.

Simply Recipes / Laurel Randolph / Photo Illustration by Sarah CrowderKey TakeawaysThis cocktail is made with just gin, seltzer water, and Trader Joe's Sicilian Limoncello. The flavors are a blend of sweet, tart, and subtle ginger notes. Swap out the seltzer for another flavor for an easy upgrade! While April is considered solidly spring, it’s the month most likely to play with your emotions.

Key TakeawaysPrick a small hole in the wide "bottom" end of the egg. This prevents it from cracking during cooking. Use an egg pricker or a push pin and insert about 3/8 of an inch into the egg. When I think of Julia Child, I think of her dancing a raw turkey around her kitchen counter. I also think of classic French dishes, the likes of which she wrote several cookbooks about and prepared faithfully on her television shows.

Simply Recipes / Laurel RandolphKey TakeawaysMake this soup with just chicken broth, frozen meatballs, tortellini, jarred pesto, and baby spinach. We love the ingredients from Trader Joe's but you can find similar products at any grocery store. For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth and skip the meatballs. I’m a frequent Trader Joe’s shopper, regularly visiting my local store to pick up snacks, flowers, cards, cheese, and wine—just about everything.
