Our meals for the first half of March had a similar tone to that old saying for the month itself: in like a lion, out like a lamb. In that regard, March began absurdly cold, windy, and somewhat frustrating (weather-wise).

To accommodate that scenario, our dinners followed suit by including homemade chicken parmesan, buffalo chicken meatballs, and spaghetti. Heavier, hearty fare to match the winter that just wouldn’t go away.

Now that we’re over halfway through March, our meals are getting lighter, healthier, and brighter (as you’ll see below). Much like the sky!

The sun is shining more often, the temps are going up, and I saw the first flower show up in the yard. Finally! I cannot wait until spring has settled in, the official start is on Saturday, as it brings warm days, more daylight hours, and general joy.

The dinners shared here are ones we cooked between March 1 - March 16 and include recipe links as available. Of course, if you have any questions about an ingredient or meal, please let me know. I’m always happy to share additional details.

Enjoy!
