Because it was my favorite color when I was little, I'm choosing a sampling of lovely green posts this week.
First off Bea over at La Tartine Gourmande combines green and white in a Green Pea Soup, but it's so much more than that. For a start it's veloute, and it includes dill, cucumber and whipped cream. Yup, whipped cream.
Over at Delicious Days, one of my all-time favorite food blogs, spring is welcomed with two recipes, a Green Asparagus Tart with Potatoes and Asparagus Risotto with Poached Egg. I make asparagus risotto all the time, but never considered the egg. I'd say I'm green with envy, but it's really just admiration.
Last, but certainly not least, a very luscious leek post from Shuna at Eggbeater, who shares the secrets to Sexy, Succulent, Sensuous Leeks. Easy peasy if you follow the intructions. Peas not included.

- French Laundry Garden
Many meals begin in the garden. And so did our meal at the French Laundry. After parking the car, we couldn't help but notice the lovely garden directly across the street; having more than a few minutes to spare, we welcomed the invitation by one...
- Leek & Potato Soup Recipe
If I told you that I had a fabulous soup recipe with only three ingredients in it, would you believe me? Leeks, potatoes and water or chicken broth. Oh and a little butter to saute the leeks in, that's it. It seems to be a mantra these days that...
- Lemony Smoked Salmon Pasta Recipe
Our box of fresh produce was delivered today and in it was a real prize. Green garlic. Green garlic is a fresh, young, green onion-like vegetable. It is very mild and just epitomizes spring. It is only available for a short time, like many other spring...
