Happy February!
I certainly don’t mind telling January goodbye!
The theme/flavor of the month
for the February recipes is
Heavy Comfort Food Goodbye!
Let’s enjoy lighter and fresher recipes
and hope that Punxsutawney Phil, the ground hog,
tells us Spring is on the way!

On a recent snow day

How yummy! That chowder looks so colourful and moreish. Definitely one of the favourites.
Thanks Angie, it’s hard to beat a bowl of chowder!
I am in complete agreement for saying goodby to January and ready to welcome days like yesterday, sunny and warmer. A great line-up of recipes to lighten-up the meals for February while less time in kitchen! Happy February sweet friend……..
Thank you Emily, I’m so happy to see warmer temps this week!
The lighter mac and cheese still looks plenty good and gooey – yay! Goodbye snowy January – I sound like I live in NY, not lower AL. – who knew?
So crazy that y’all got all that snow! I still can’t believe it! Unfortunately, I think we lost some palm trees, 🤞 fingers crossed that they’ll be ok…
Comfort food for cold nights for sure!
Thanks Dorothy!
Jenna, I know you are enjoying this beautiful warm Sunday! Great comfort foods for January. The February paint bucket also looks great. I will be anticipating the Amaretto Bundt Cake, sounds wonderful with a cup of tea. Happy February!
Thank you Pam, I am definitely going to make that cake! Yes, loving the warm temps!
Yummy Jenna…sounds so good, what a wonderful February Paint Bucket list and great foods. Have a great and wonderful week.
Thanks so much Kari, Happy February!
That recipe collection reflects our weather forecast. We got to 71 today and will bounce to 40’s and back again for the rest of the week. So your spring recipes AND your comfort food soups are both going to fit in well.
haha, crazy weather for sure. We are going to be in the low 70s today too after snow at the beach only days ago!!
Oh my – I’m delighted with these February love bites! You just sweeten my day!
Thanks Mary! Happy February!
All these are pure comfort!
A wonderful paint bucket list and delicious food!
Happy new week to you!
Thanks Nancy, Happy February!
The February paint bucket list looks fabulous Jenna! I am definitely pining for spring but we have a couple months yet, sadly. I think I missed the chowder recipe and it sounds wonderful. Must go back and have a look. Happy February to you!
Thank you Kim, stay cozy!
You’re always cooking up a storm Jenna! Honeycrisp Tart with Cheddar and Rosemary Honey is calling my name! Happy February ♥
That sounded really good to me too 🙂
We just got about 4 inches of snow with more on the way! Looks like our Spring will be delayed…actually we don’t get Spring until end of March-ish. Just knowing it is around the corner makes me happy! Your recipes all look so delish!
We’ve had spring like temps this week, but I’m trying not to get to used to it, we’ve had snow as late as March too 🙂
