Seasonal Sunday (02-20-11)

Happy Seasonal Sunday!

Hope you all had a wonderful week. We certainly did- on Thursday Rochester  was graced with some serious sunshine and temps in the 50′s. It was glorious.

The Sunshine put me in the mood for something tropical. Despite the fact that oranges are a winter produce item- they remind me of the beach and sunny skies.  At the Supermarket yesterday I was happy to see Blood Oranges- so they served as the inspiration for my  seasonal submission today!

Blood Orange Cake (Gluten/Dairy/Soy/Corn & Refined Sugar Free)

This Week I would like to Feature 2 Fantastic Blogs!

First up is Mysteries Internal. Last week a recipe for Stuffed Peppers was shared which sounded wonderful! Check out also the recipe for Acorn Squash Stuffed with Polenta and Spinach.

Next up is Jessie’s Kitchen Her recipe for Pumpkin Roasted Beet Soup Caught my attention. Try her recipe for Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal! So good!

Now its YOUR turn.

Here are the Rules:

1. Recipes must contain one Seasonal Ingredient (See below for the list of foods that are currently in season)
2. You may link up old or new recipes. Wonderful food is always worth sharing! Feel free to share up to 6 recipes each week.
3. Gluten Free Recipes are NOT required- this event is meant to inspire ideas for all. However I do ask that if your recipe is Gluten Free that you give it the “GF” Label.
4. Please include a link in your blog in reference to Seasonal Sundays so that your readers may also participate.
