You guys, we had the most beautiful, briefest few days of spring. The temperature was in the mid-60's and we had blue skies and sun. I spent about an hour or so one day just working in the backyard, piling all of the dead leaves into our compost bin and weeding the areas that needed it. I had forgotten how much working in the yard can feel like therapy. We even grilled salmon and burgers over the weekend, which was the most perfect thing. We're back to clouds and rain this week, but I'm already anticipating more days like that in my future!
Since the weather is back to its usual self, my menu is back to its usual self. I'm retesting two different soups at home again this week, as well as a frittata dish I've been working on for the past few weeks. I'll link similar recipes for ya.
Here's what's on the menu this week:
Tuscan Tomato White Bean Soup
This flavorful, creamy Tuscan Tomato White Bean Soup recipe elevates traditional tomato soup in every way, and is perfect for the fall season!
Chive & Goat Cheese Soufflé
Try something "gourmet" with this chive & goat cheese soufflé! You'll love the flavors...and having something different for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Slow-Cooker Split Pea Soup
This easy slow-cooker split pea soup recipe is just the thing for a cold winter's night. It's warm, filling, and rustic, but doesn't pack on the calories.
Irish Shepherd’s Pie
This Irish Shepherd's Pie uses the classic deep, rich flavor of Guinness to elevate this simple dish into a mouthwatering casserole recipe.
Irish Mac & Cheese
What makes this creamy, flavorful Irish Mac & Cheese recipe Irish? Irish butter, two different Irish cheeses, and earthy, homey spices!
Sweet Cream Pancakes
Fluffy & light, with a touch of sugar, vanilla, & creaminess in each bite, these sweet cream pancakes are a level up from traditional buttermilk flapjacks.
Drop Biscuits
Buttery and flaky, these easy drop biscuits are not only quick to make but compliment just about any meal, too.
Chocolate Guinness Cake
This Chocolate Guinness Cake is a rich, creamy dessert recipe infused with classic Irish stout. Try it this St. Patrick's Day!
Did you notice I added a few Irish recipes into the menu? Our family happens to love these Irish recipes. I fully stand behind enjoying them the whole month, so of course I'll share my St. Patrick's Day Pinterest board but I also highly recommend you try this Irish Apple Butter Coffee Cake recipe out. It is beyond yum! Perfect to make if you're a homeschooler or a weekend breakfast. But if you're looking for dessert, I do love this Irish Apple Pie too. I don't know how "authentic" these recipes are, but I'm also of the opinion that...who cares? They're just fun to make and better to eat!
Have a great week, everyone! Daylight Savings is coming soon and so I'm going to trust that spring is also right around the corner!
