Here’s what I made from the March Paint Bucket,
the Flavor of the Month was Lemon
On the Go Snack Jars turned into Grab a Snack Jars
I combined Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes from Rock Recipes and Lemon Butter Green Beans from Mother Thyme
into Sheet Pan Lemon Roasted Potatoes & Green Beans
Rainbow Bowls with Almond-Ginger Dressing from Love and Lemons became
Rainbow Salad with Almond Butter Dressing
I shied away from making a Slow Cooker Deep Dish Pizza
and opted instead to make a deep dish pizza in a springform pan,
Spring Green Sausage & Vegetable Pizza Pie
Sugared Lemon Donut Cake, was soooo good,
I can’t wait for an excuse to make it again!
You can also make it without the icing with a simple Lemon Glaze
Irish Bread & Butter Pudding from Home is Where the Boat is
and Bailey’s Irish Creme Brulee from Rouse’s Market
were the inspirations for
Slow Cooker Chocolate Caramel Bread Pudding with Bailey’s Dessert Sauce
I also made Lemon Mini Muffins with Lemon Glaze, not on the bucket list, but I highly recommend them!
Thank you for your visit, Happy April!
