I don’t remember what it feels like to be warm. I don’t remember what it feels like to wear anything but snow boots and down jackets. I don’t even remember what Boston looks like without snow. There’s nothing more I’d like than to fly back home to California (or even better, Punta Cana or Cancun) and spend hours sunbathing at the beach.

I can just envision the golden sand, the amber rays of the sun, the soft rush of the tide, the smell of the sea…

Unfortunately, spring break is still a bit away. This winter’s been far too long, but at least these recipes will have you feeling like vacation time is closer than it is.
