March 2014: Month of Meals

march recipes for the month

Alright, as promised…. Month of Meals is back!  I’m sorry for leaving y’all in the lurch for January and February.  I wasn’t up for much cooking and simply couldn’t stomach the thought of pouring through recipes to find something edible for all of us to eat.  If you were to take a peek in my kitchen these last few months you would’ve seen a lot of frozen pizzas, some Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese, a few bowls of ramen, and a heckuva lot of takeout and delivery boxes.  It was R.O.U.G.H.

Fortunately, I’m back at it.  Trying to bring back the healthy in our kitchen.  Trying to bring back anything home-cooked to my family.  So with that, I present March’s Month of Meals.  Let me know what you think, what you end up trying and loving or trying and not loving so much!  I’m also beginning to pull recipes for April, so if you have any suggestions… bring ’em.

Happy (almost) spring!
