    This week it's all about those cold weather comfort foods as we start thinking about Spring!

    National pancake day is February 21 - think about having some fluffy buttermilk pancakes for breakfast! Or, if you don't have time in the morning, what about breakfast for dinner?

    📅 Food Holidays

    February 19 is National Chocolate Mint Day and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with this chocolaty minty cocktail.

    February 20 is National Muffin Day and may I suggest these amazing blueberry white chocolate muffins.

    February 21 is National Pancake Day so fry up a stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes.

    February 22 is National Margarita Day AND National Cook a Sweet Potato Day

    February 23 National Banana Bread Day and I have a ton of recipes for it but this classic banana bread is always a favorite.

    💭 Things to know

    Here are tips for getting it all done this week!

    • Keep canned and frozen foods around for when you are strapped for time. Canned diced potatoes, frozen onions and green peppers mix, canned carrots - these are all convenience foods that make dinner prep quicker and easier in a pinch.
    • Get in the habit of batch cooking. Buy a big bag of chicken breast at Costco and cook it all in the slow cooker at once. Separate the chicken into meal sized portions and freeze to use as needed. You'll save time and money.
    • Stuffed peppers freeze well. Make a double batch and freeze half of it for another day.
    • Leftover beef and noodles? Put it in a pot with beef stock, a can of carrots drained, and some frozen peas - it makes a great soup.
    • Leftover cornbread? Serve it for breakfast with sausage gravy.

    Cocktail of the Week

    bright blue vodka cocktail in a clear glass.

    Electric Lemonade

    This bright blue cocktail is usually considered a summer drink but it's tangy and refreshing any time of the year!

    February 19

    The chicken breast cooks to mouthwatering perfection in the slow cooker with ALL the yummy south of the border flavor. Make chicken tacos tonight and save the rest for chicken enchiladas later in the week.

    A bowl of rice garnished with cilantro and lime.

    Copycat Chipotle Cilantro Rice

    Why have plain rice when you can have the cilantro lime rice like you get at Chipotle? Make double and save some for Wednesday. (This link goes to Bowl Me Over, a blog I just LOVE).

    This southern style cornbread is easy to make and all ready for you to sop up every bit of the soup with it.

    Two ice cream dishes with key lime gelato in them.

    Key Lime Chile Gelato

    I know it sounds weird but you're going to have to trust me on this one, ok? Key lime gelato is amazing with a little kick from Hatch chiles!

    February 22

    Beautifully browned beef roast waiting to be carved.

    Beef Round Roast

    This beef roast is marinated in beer and brown sugar overnight then roasted. It's a deliciously old fashioned dinner. Serve with buttered broccoli. Save some roast for open faced sandwiches later in the week.

    These oven baked sweet potato fries are crispy and pair up with the roast just right for an unexpected side dish to celebrate Cook a Sweet Potato Day!

    Spicy, dark chocolate cupcakes have a creamy hot chocolate and marshmallow frosting. They freeze well unfrosted so save part of them for dessert another time.

    February 23

    Stuffed peppers on a plate.

    Old Fashioned Stuffed Peppers

    Old Fashioned stuffed peppers the way my mom used to make them! Rice, ground beef, and tomatoes cooked to yummy perfection!

    Cucumbers in sour cream in a yellow-ware bowl.

    Cucumbers in Sour Cream

    Ok, so cucumbers are not in season but they are still available and sometimes I just need to have this creamy cucumber salad. I make sure to save some for the next day and make a sandwich with it. I know - I'm weird.

    Slices of cookies and cream banana bread on a serving board.

    February 25

    Beef spooned over noodles on a vintage plate.

    Crockpot Beef & Noodles

    Beef and noodles is one of my favorites. Beef is slow cooked in its own gravy until it's falling apart and then it's spooned over buttery noodles. I like to make double the meat I'll need and freeze half for an easy dinner another time.

    Citrus salad with greens in a wooden bowl.

    Citrus Salad

    Crunchy nuts, citrus, and winter greens like arugula all come together in this citrus salad from Bowl Me Over!
