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!
The fruit of my labors from Saturday!
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!

Your Strawberry Shortcake is making my mouth water! I’ve heard that Florida has some yummy strawberries this year.

Yes, they are yummy. My favorites were from a local farm though. The ones I got last weekend were a little big so they were a tad on the watery side. I find it hard to believe we’re in strawberry season while everyone else is still under snow!

Well I don’t blame you. The porch should be cleared off. 😀

Ellie is not a good idea. She needs more practice before she takes up sweeping.
