Spring is in the air once Valentine's Day is over. I LOVE seeing the stores stock up on Easter treats, bunny rabbit plushes and pastel spring colors.
I can already smell the new grass. I can't wait for the trips to the store to see the new little baby chicks, ducks and bunnies. I can't wait for RAIN instead of snow.
And I can't wait for spring recipes and salads. Today I'm featuring some amazing recipes from Terri of Our Good Life. I'm highlighting Terri as a member of the Secret Recipe Club. Each month we surprise a member by featuring one of their recipes. My four year old and I loved her stories about her dogs. I loved her amazing recipes and found some fun spring recipes to try:
L-R: Balsamic Strawberry Filled Bundt Cake, Jalapeno Cilantro Deviled Eggs, Smoked Turkey Salad
One of the best things about Easter and spring is Easter morning breakfast. We came across this recipe and fell in love. It's simple and easy and makes for a nice warm breakfast the whole family will enjoy. And don't forget to scroll down and view other great recipes from Secret Recipe Club Members!

I love overnight baked french toast! Such a great thing to wake up to.
That sounds delicious and would be perfect for a brunch or Easter morning. It's been on my list for a long time!!
Easter breakfast is big in our house too. This is a fabulous recipe for celebrating before church.
