Spring is Almost Here: March Wrap Up

March was one of those months that was so busy I don’t even know where to start. We started the month with a pretty big snow storm and the kids first real snow day. Just when we thought we wouldn’t have any snow at all we had plenty and even were able to finally try snow cream. Now, we are in April and have been hoping and praying Spring gets here soon.

 

In the kitchen I tried a few new things, and was happy to add some fun things to my regular kitchen routine. First up, I made some home made cheesy bread, that I have decided will make a great snack or easy to make appetizer in a pinch. I also made an awesome fruit dip, which will make a great weeknight dessert (and it is sort of healthy too). Also, I decided to make some Irish Creme Delights as March’s Smart Cookie recipe. I thought it was a fun way to share some St. Patrick’s Day flare.

 

Speaking of St. Patrick’s Day, in March, I dedicated an entire week to my Irish heritage, and had a GREEN WEEK! I shared a recipe for chocolate cherry tray bake, my Mom’s recipe for Irish Soda Bread, and made a clover quiche with cheese and herbs. Also, I dished all about my first Listen To Your Mother rehearsal with my favorite green pants. Finally, I was able to show how I decorate with a little inspiration from the Emerald Isle.

 

Finally, I was able to tackle two projects that I had been wanting to do for a long time. The first, was I finally rearranged some furniture in the living room to make it more storage friendly as well as a wonderful place to read, work, or play. Then, to add a classy touch and a pop of color to the dining room, and added some fabric to the back of the china cabinets. I have to say, I still smile when I walk in the dining room.

 

While, I like the cozy nights snuggling with the munchkins and one pot cooking and lots of baking that happens in the winter, I am very much looking forward to spring. I am already thinking of what to plant in the vegetable garden.

What are your plans for Spring?
