With the arrival of spring, everything gets a bit more colorful. Plants and flowers bloom in a kaleidoscope of colors, the sky seems to be more blue than usual, and even our plates brighten up a bit. Shades of green overwhelmingly replace the dark oranges and purples of fall and winter vegetables, and dishes are crisper and lighter, too. <\/p>\n

Our Flagstaff apartments<\/a><\/a> offer residents the opportunity to experiment in the kitchen with spring's brightly-colored veggies. Here are some fresh ways to incorporate three of the season's most popular vegetables into your spring meals. <\/p>\n

Asparagus<\/h2>\n

Easy to find and delicious no matter how it's prepared, asparagus is versatile and incredibly good for you. It's low in calories but nutrient-dense, so you get a lot of bang for your nutritional buck. This recipe<\/a><\/a> is super simple, but presents the asparagus in a less-than-typical way, giving it a modern twist. <\/p>\n

Sugar snap peas<\/h2>\n

They may not be at the top of your snack foods list, but snap peas are light, tasty, and easy to prepare, making them a perfect go-to for when hunger strikes. As a bonus, sugar snap pea plants can be grown indoors<\/a><\/a>. This fresh take on a salad<\/a><\/a> is packed with fiber and takes less than five minutes to prepare, and the addition of mint in this recipe<\/a><\/a> elevates an otherwise-average dish.<\/p>\n

Green beans<\/h2>\n

Typically just served with butter, there's a lot more to green beans than meets the eye. They're an excellent source of nutrients and can be prepared (quickly!) in any number of ways. Try this sweet-and-sour version<\/a><\/a> or even pickle them for a refreshing, healthy snack.<\/p>\n
