ON THE MENU APRIL 2ND- A week's worth of scrumptious recipes!

HAPPY APRIL! I love this month. It’s the time that the Bradford Pears come out to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Almost every year in this area the Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom for Jacqueline’s birthday.  So when she was little I told her those trees bloomed for her birthday. So fun! It’s also my son Christopher and darling daughter-in-law’s wedding anniversary and Bobby and mine too! What a great celebratory month. It’s also the beginning of farm to fork eating in my area! YUM! Here’s what’s ON THE MENU this week

Now for this week’s menu…

SUNDAY

YUM! I love bar-b-que and Mexican! A perfect mash up! The kids are home this weekend and that means I get to play with my little grandson Anderson! So I’m making an easy-peasy dinner… and baby food! No pork tostadas buddy. Sorry!

MONDAY

I have a big blogging work week so I need to stay organized and very very focused! All my recipes are pretty easy to make and of course, have to be delicious. 

TUESDAY

Ceasar salad is a staple around StoneGable. I make a big batch of homemade Ceasar dressing in the blender and freeze it in ice cube trays. Don’t buy bottled when you can make the best Ceasar you will ever eat! And don’t leave out the anchovies in the the dressing.

WEDNESDAY

I’m always on the lookout for fabulous recipes and foodie blogs! Here’s one that makes me weak in the knees! You gotta check out The Mediterranean  Dish! I love Mediterranean food and this greek spinach and feta pie is on the top of my list!

That flaky, delicious “crust” is made with phyllo. And let’s demystify it right now… phyllo is so easy to work with! And there really is no substitute for it!

Thursday’s are the day’s I plan for the menus the following week. I LOVE perusing recipes and planning menus!  I’m a foodie at heart!

FRIDAY

This week’s soup is a real winner. I love a great fish chowder. Yummy white fish, cream, potatoes, onions and herbs. They combine to make the best dinner. I’ll garnish this recipe with chives fresh from my garden!

SATURDAY

The weather has been so wintery here that I have not been able to dig in my garden yet. Well, it’s not going to be warm but the weather will be “passable”. So today I’m planting tender salad greens, spinach, and swiss chard. Chives and sage are coming alive in the herb garden. I’m always amazed to see those little chive plants coming up through the ground no matter how nasty the weather is!

Now, this is a fun day!

SUGAR COOKIES

My very very favorite cookies are these scrumptious sugar cookies. I can make them in a roll and freeze them and then cut them to make freshly baked sweet treats!

BREAKFAST STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

You will see this recipe ON THE MENU from now until late summer. Oh, this is such a great breakfast, especially when the kids come home.

    Yvonne Happy April to you too. First let me say Happy Anniversary to your son and daughter-in-law may they have many many years of happiness and love. Also Happy B. to your daughter wishing her all the best. I just finished doing your DIY torn napkin Easter eggs and they came out lovely. Will definitely do the cabbage dye eggs also.Your recipes sound delish.especially your coleslaw.It’s been raining here all day [ Corfu] and will continue to rain through out the week. But I have all of your lovely posts to read and look at plus listen to postcast to make my day’s sunny. Have a wonderful week…..

  8. I tried to enter this on the “Contact Me” page, but it would not allow me to, I am not a blogger and do not have a webpage and I think the security of your site did not like that. Anyway, I am having trouble with your recipe links. I am new to your site. But when I click the links it brings up a ‘Skim Links’ page…

    1. Hi Amy, first of all WELCOME to the StoneGable family. And thanks for letting me know about the links. I’ll look into them.

  10. Did your sister ever give you permission to share her recipe for salmon? I have a granddaughter who only eats fish versus meat. Just wondering if I missed the recipe. Thank you.
