Because it was my favorite color when I was little, I'm choosing a sampling of lovely green posts this week.

First off Bea over at La Tartine Gourmande combines green and white in a Green Pea Soup, but it's so much more than that. For a start it's veloute, and it includes dill, cucumber and whipped cream. Yup, whipped cream.

Over at Delicious Days, one of my all-time favorite food blogs, spring is welcomed with two recipes, a Green Asparagus Tart with Potatoes and Asparagus Risotto with Poached Egg. I make asparagus risotto all the time, but never considered the egg. I'd say I'm green with envy, but it's really just admiration.

Last, but certainly not least, a very luscious leek post from Shuna at Eggbeater, who shares the secrets to Sexy, Succulent, Sensuous Leeks. Easy peasy if you follow the intructions. Peas not included.
