Our Pre-Spring Lightening-Up: 10 Greens and Grains Recipes

We're acutely aware that it is not yet spring. In fact, there is a TV monitor in our office warning much of the country to bunker down for a blizzard. But at this point in the season, we're kind of over all the cold-front excuses for mac and cheese and lasagna. Instead, we're craving those first bright flavors of spring–baby lettuces, radishes, and rhubarb–and until they rear their heads from the thawing dirt we'll settle for wholesome winter greens and grains. Gooey cheese and coma-inducing carbs need not apply. –Sarah McColl
