This year March is going to be extra busy~
Spring is arriving,
and St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are both on the calendar
The recipes on this month’s bucket list have been chosen
because they would be good for St. Patrick’s Day,
Easter, and Spring dining~
These things inspired my flavor/theme of the month to be
Green!
You can see photos of all these recipes in the March section

The flavor/theme of the month was Holiday
Ritz Cracker Sandwiches from 12 Tomatoes

a fun appetizer or light lunch

was inspired by a similar salad from Beach House Kitchen

all the flavors of a pepperoni pizza in a bun

I wanted to make Garlic Roasted Cheesy Sheet Pan Asparagus
from 4 Sons R Us but I had some leftover chicken
and Alfredo sauce I wanted to use up
I thought about making a casserole and that idea turned into a tart!

I really need to make that cheesy potato soup! So good 🙂

Your chicken tart sounds like a great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken.
Thanks Karen, it was a great way to use up leftovers~ Happy March!
So many great ideas!

Jenna, all of these dishes look tasty! The photo of the cake is so pretty and looks like the perfect centerpiece for an Easter dessert buffet. I can’t wait to see what you make this month. Happy Sunday!
Thank you Shannon, I’m ready for Spring everything!
It’s good to hear that all of these turned out as good as they look. Several would still be good for spring and St. Patrick’s Day!
Yes, they would, thanks Linda!
All these dishes look so good and amazing! I have never made King cake! I might just have to give this a try. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy, you should definitely try a king cake! This one is super easy and you can change the colors of sprinkles to match any occasion or time of year! Have a great week~
Everything looks just marvelous, Jenna! I really would like to try every one of these recipes.
That above comment is from me, Pattie at Olla-Podrida. For whatever reason, it did not include my information.
Thanks for letting me know Pattie, I don’t know why this is happening all of a sudden…
Thank you Pattie 🙂
The March bucket list looks fabulous Jenna and I can’t wait to see what you make. The crack chicken casserole and the garden greens goddess pizza sound very intriguing. The spinach and artichokes dip party squares sound yummy and I even have some canned artichoke hearts in the pantry bought for something else that I’ve forgotten and now waiting for another perfect recipe. The carrot cake is stunning! Happy March to you with all the upcoming celebrations!
Thanks Kim, that carrot cake that is pictured is decorated with cute candy carrots I found at the grocery store 🙂
You have so many awesome ideas here, hard to choose only one. But as I am on salads the pear salad with nuts does look outstanding.
I visited you via Katherines Corner: Spring Tables and Decor at the TFT Blog Hop
