I enjoyed the fish chowder from last week a lot! It was, however, a little more liquidy than my husband cared for so I am scrambling to eat up the leftovers all by myself! Another highlight from last week was reworking a favorite recipe for cranberry bread and having it turn out absolutely delicious. I will be sharing the recipe later this week!
The theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap over Angela’s Kitchen is Salads. After being in a serious soup rut since fall I’ve been looking for a few salads to liven up the menu. I will be having a taco salad later this week with mushrooms instead of meat, spinach, brown rice tortilla chips, and other taco toppings. Later in March I know I have a chef salad on the menu. One of my favorite things about salads is the fact you can easily change the toppings depending on allergies/preferences!
This weekend we visited the local strawberry festival and although the actual festival was rather scary (large crowds and temperamental preschoolers don’t mix well at all!) I had fun afterwards making some strawberry shortcake and some strawberry jam. It’s amazing how fast I can go through a half flat of strawberries!
