I still haven't had any yet!
Hi all! Linkup Friday!! Thanks to our amazing hostesses: the DC Trifecta Bloggers (Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, Mar from Mar on the Run, and Cynthia from You Signed Up For What?!). This weeks topic is favorite spring foods! Since it was 90 degrees in Pasadena yesterday and will be the same today, there aren't really foods that I would cook special for Spring. But I am loving a few themed meals and things in season so let's get to it.
1. Cuties aka clementines
Last year was a bad crop for them so I didn't buy many but this year has been great! They are bountiful in stores and I have been buying them each week for about 4-5 weeks now.
2. Strawberries
I keep thinking I will get sick of them but I haven't! They have been so cheap (98 cents per package, 1.25 per pound) so I can't pass up a good deal. I've been buying at least 2 packages a week.
3. Corned beef and cabbage
A classic St. Patrick's day meal then I love. I make mine in a crockpot with onion, celery, potato and carrots and add the cabbage at the end. Sadly I couldn't find any on clearance after St. Patty's day but I'll keep looking.
4. Baked ham
Easter is right around the corner and I can't wait to have ham next week. Last year I bought a massive ham and froze half of it. So this year I just have to cook it! I think I will stick it in the crockpot with some spices and pineapple among other things.
5. Easter candy
I haven't had any yet! No Cadbury eggs nor peeps! I think I will need to buy a snack this weekend!
That's it for me! What are some of your favorite spring foods?
