While we welcome the spring, the dust bunnies will not be missed as it’s out with the old and in with the new! Just days into the new season and spring cleaning is in full force - and on top of my to-do list: the refrigerator! I've compiled some of my tips to help you make the most out of the ingredients in your fridge, helping you to avoid waste and transform otherwise forgotten items.
Would you believe a decadent snack is only one baguette away? Use up the rest of the remaining loaf of bread to make Roasted Balsamic Strawberry Tartines with Goat Cheese and Arugula. Not only are these 5-ingredient bites easy to assemble, they’re versatile, too! With a bed of arugula as the base, this appetizer can be transformed into a luscious dinner salad with baguette croutons, strawberries and goat cheese to top it off.
Once again, the half-full tub of Greek yogurt sits patiently in the fridge as the expiration date creeps up. Transform it into this delicious Blackberry Pineapple Smoothie! You’re a blender and a few leftover ingredients away from a cleaner fridge and happy tummy.
After a day full of scrubbing, dusting and organizing, it’s time to roll up your sleeves for one last task--baking Blueberry Brownies. When it comes to baking, softening blueberries left over in the fridge aren’t always a bad thing! These fruity chocolate squares are the ultimate treat for all your hard work around the house.

Happy spring cleaning!
