Menu Plan Monday: Week of March 16, 2015
This week’s Menu Plan Monday and highlights from last week!
At this time last week, I was sitting by a pool in Punta Cana, watching my little girls swim, enjoying the sun shining, and the luxurious feeling of warmth on my skin. That’s why you didn’t find a Menu Plan Monday last week, or any other posts for that matter! But now I’m back and so is my weekly menu and a some of my favorite recipes and articles I came across while I was away.
In case you missed my most recent recipe post, check out my Butternut Sage Risotto Balls with Lemon Honey Drizzle – my entry into the Recipe ReDux and USA Rice Federation sponsored contest. I’m so grateful for all the love I received for this recipe while I was away!
My 5 Reasons to Love Artichokes post was also picked up by Ocean Mist Farms and included in their March newsletter for The Artichoke Club!
Here are some other recipes and articles that circulated last week and are worth a read!
