Seasonal Sunday (04-10-11)

Welcome to this weeks Seasonal Sunday!

Its been a lovely weekend in Rochester NY- Today I took Clyde and Chloe (Our sweet Rat terriers) for a long walk dressed in summer attire. It was Bliss.

Today I would like to feature the very fun blog “So Hungry I Could Blog” written by 2 friends -Sarah & Caitlin. This blog is filled with a wonderful array of recipes. Each month they feature a new recipe or review guide that incorporates a theme. For example this past February their theme was grilled cheese- they made it 5 unique different ways. I LOVE this idea- and I recommend you check it out. Last weekend they shared a recipe for Steamed Artichoke with Beurre Blanc Sauce.

This week I’m sharing a  Spring Minestrone Soup Recipe.

Make sure to check out today’s April in the Raw Post from Deanna @ The Mommy Bowl

For anyone new here today here are the Seasonal Sunday 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.
