Waiting For Spring...

Breakfast Cupcakes

Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

Though Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons, I must tell you I am ready for Spring! I am tired of freezing fingers and a chilly nose, not to mention the constant drip of that cold little nose. As I wait for Spring and it's official first day, March 20th, I thought I'd share with you a few new recipes I found on the internet that look especially delicious! 

I am excited to try some of these this weekend...and I encourage you to do the same, if you find yourself in a recipe rut carried over from the cold Winter months.
