My Spring Fridge & Pantry Essentials (+ Meal Ideas)

What I Eat As A Breastfeeding Vegan Mom

Hi friends!

My kitchen has already seen a seasonal shift in the ingredients we have been buying and the meals we have been making. Lighter and brighter recipes!

I thought I’d take some time to share what our spring fridge and pantry look like and share some of the recipes that complement the season.

Here is a full list of what’s in season throughout the year, if you are interested. But today, I’ll focus on my spring essentials. I’ll also be sharing some dried goods / pantry items that I like to have on hand to complement seasonal produce.

You can also look back at my autumn and winter staples.
