Welcome Spring!



So many of us have had an early taste of Spring, and in the South, we have enjoyed many days stolen from summer



February was an indulgent month around the Painted Apron, with the Raspberry flavor of the month winding it’s way into so many sweet and savory treats…

Instead of a flavor of the month for March, it’s going to be a a color

Green fearturing lots of fresh produce, low fat and cleaner eating
