Caprese Pasta Salad

How is it that we’re already at the brink of Memorial Day weekend? This year has been anything but easy, although it does seem to be moving along pretty quickly. We’re so looking forward to the unofficial start of summer and the fun that comes with it — especially because we all missed out on so much of it last year!

We published so many tasty recipes this month in celebration of warmer, sunnier days — and you definitely had your favorites. Spring treats like strawberry pound cake and lemon poppy seed sweet rolls made the list, as did a cool and creamy chicken salad studded with avocado and corn and juicy Italian-inspired pork chops .
