About April's Recipe Collection

April's recipes ride the cusp of late winter and early spring. All but one of April's recipes are vegetarian and many are vegan. All but one call for easy-to-find ingredients — and even the "hard to find" ingredient, dandelion greens, might be as close as your back yard! And then? There are four salad dressings and a challenge, me to you, to "never buy salad dressing again"!

Mostly, I'm struck how April's seasonal recipe collection is a "bridge" between late winter and spring: the salads are mostly more substantial and the soups are lighter. Yes, that's April for a seasonal cook. I hope you love this collection, please do enjoy!

Also good news for Weight Watchers: I've calculated the SmartPoints and Freestyle points for each and every recipe. The posts themselves haven't always been updated with the information but from this page, you've got the info. Whew. It's such a labor of WW Love to recalculate and update Weight Watchers' point adjustments every couple of years for 1300+ recipes here on A Veggie Venture + 600 more recipes at Kitchen Parade, my food column. But it's a work in process, trust me! I'm spending hours and hours and h-o-u-r-s on Weight Watchers point and mobile-friendly updates. Progress!
