Guys, I am all about this spring weather in Oklahoma right now. Aside from the obvious reasons that include warm sunny days and springtime recipes, I’m realllllly loving wearing spring and summer dresses ’cause, ya know, #24WeeksPregnant (opens in a new tab) and all.

But let’s get back to that springtime recipes thing, shall we? Because it’s a hot topic right now (totally did not intend that pun, but going with it because puns aren’t my thing and I’m really proud of myself for that one)! Here are some of my current faves:
