Top 4 Mexican-inspired Recipes
In the mood for some Mexican-inspired dishes? Try these wonderful slow cooker favorites!

We turned the clocks forward last week and St. Patrick’s Day was yesterday, so it feels like spring has finally arrived. What better way to celebrate than with a bright and colorful Think Spring Giveaway!
With St. Patrick’s Day fresh on our minds, we selected a pot o’ green gadgets with a pop of bright pink. These are essential staples for every kitchen, which may come in handy for folks immersed in spring cleaning and at a point of replacing some items that should be passed on to that kitchen gadget drawer in the sky.
The Giveaway is: two beautiful individual pie plates by Chantal, Peak Fresh produce saver bags, Progressive Mini Produce Keeper, RSVP 6-qt. stainless steel mixing bowl, Zyliss ice cream scoop, Zak Designs rose colander, Now Designs scrubby dishcloths, and a Mu Microfiber dishtowel.
(Chantal and the other brand name companies do not know that we’re giving away these items.)

In the spring as a kid in Maine, we always had the 1st dandelion greens that grew in our yard.. Today I dont dig my own but i am able to have organic ones from a local store… It brings back so many family memories of days past….

Sirloins on the grill… yum
I have to agree with most of the ones ahead of me. i am really looking forward to cooking outside and eating out on the deck. I am so ready for spring/summer to get here.
Actually, I have two favorites for the warmer weather. One is deviled eggs. I try to make it a different way when I can. I love changing up the ‘additions’. the basics always stay the same..mayo, mustard, minced onion… Then depending on my mood I may add bacon or dill or whatever. My second is macaroni salad. Again I change it up. Having company this week-end, so I am going to try it with black olives, cheddar cheese, and red onion.
Happy Summering to one and all!
Grilled anything! But my favorite is Kabobs!
baked beans in the slow cooker, hot dogs on the grill ….craving them now!! and craving Spring too!

Of course the warmth always inspires our family to cook outdoors once again! Our favorite thing is to enjoy marinated and bbq’d artichokes.. They pair well with some steak and potatoes.
I love asparagus and this is the perfect time for bacon wrapped grilled asparagus! Add a pot roast that has been cooking in the crock pot all day and life is good!
