Technically spring has arrived. But, depending on what part of the country you’re in, the weather may not be cooperating. So, we’re sharing comfort food recipes because we know those are good year-round. But, you’ll also see fresh finds since farmer’s markets are starting to burst with goodies. If you’re sick of trying to figure out what to serve your family, here are 25 dishes you can make in April.
Asparagus and Mushroom Quiche
"Creamy and savory, this asparagus and mushroom quiche is delicious. It's not your typical quiche recipe that uses a lot of eggs. The filling in this recipe is loaded with chunks of asparagus and mushroom along with gooey cheese." - The Kitchen Crew
Mom's Tender and Juicy Pork Chops
"My mom always made pork chops like this and it's always been one of my favorite meals. I have to be honest though, I haven't made these in a while because I try to stay away from breading and frying but I decided to give the fam a treat. So last night I breaded and fried. Needless to say, there were some very happy men in my house." - Joanne
Baked Chicken Fajitas
"So easy and delicious, too! Serve with lime wedges and sour cream for an extra treat. Make a sopapilla cheesecake for dessert." - Tamara
Tuna Casserole
"I know this seems like just a plain ole tuna casserole but to me it is pure comfort food. This is exactly how I grew up eating this and it is the first dish I learned to cook." - Debbie
Prima Donna Turkey Club Sandwich
"This is such a fun and flavorful sandwich to serve. The unique shape and textures compliment the upscale flavors of this fantastic twist on a turkey club sandwich." - Noelle
Fried Asparagus Spears
"Want to get your kids to eat asparagus? Try this recipe! You may even fool them into thinking they're green beans. The asparagus is fresh and cooked perfectly. We loved the crispy and crunchy coating." - The Kitchen Crew
Cajun Chicken BLT, Millie's
"The Cajun spiced chicken and the horseradish mustard aioli give this sandwich a spicy kick that is sure to please. My hubby absolutely loved the melted smoked provolone cheese topped with crispy smoky bacon. It's making my mouth water as I write, lol!" - Millie

"Broccoli Quinoa Casserole Recipe is easy to make, packed with flavor, and healthy! It’s the perfect blend of cheesy comfort and healthy food!" - Paula
Orange Chicken and Rice - Remade
"I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Orange Chicken but the stuff you get from takeout is always way too sweet and not very good for you at all. So, this is my take on orange chicken. The flavors are so bright and fresh and citrusy, by far my favorite." - Beth
Gnocchi With Artichokes, Tomatoes, and Mushrooms
"Gnocchi are so cute and I love finding ways to eat them. Plus, I was looking for a way to use up some ingredients that I had. Although it's meatless, the beans provide protein." - Carolyn

"This is a quick casserole version of hamburger steak with onions, brown gravy, and potatoes. It is great comfort food and so easy to make!" - Cheryl

Heavenly Mushrooms Stuffed with Crab Meat
"If you love seafood, then you'll love these! The stuffing is delicious and I really liked the addition of different color bell peppers. We used small mushrooms because we like to serve one bite appetizers, but try using larger mushrooms for a great meal." - The Kitchen Crew
Lemony Vegetable Stir-Fry
"I've never made stir-fry before tonight. I wanted something that would go with steak and rice and be able to hold its own. This came out so good even my picky eating housemate had seconds." - KJ
