March always brings more fresh and bright seasonal favorites. After 10 years of sharing recipes here, I’ve noticed certain dishes rise to the top every single March. So I rounded up the 30 most popular recipes to make in March on my website, the ones readers come back to again and again. We’re sharing fresh spring desserts to bright comfort dinners and Easter favorites, these are the tried-and-true March recipes that have stood the test of time.

Lemon is the flavor of spring, bringing that fresh pop that makes desserts and baked goods feel light after a long winter. Some of my most popular recipes this time of year are my soft and fluffy lemon cake, copycat Levain Bakery lemon cookies, and perfectly chewy lemon sugar cookies, lemon chicken pasta and that’s just the beginning.
