What to Cook This March

Learn what's in season this March

I’m so glad we made it to March. The days are growing longer already and I love how the spring sunshine illuminates our kitchen. The daffodils that we planted last fall are showing their green leaves already.

Asparagus is on its way and we’ll finally have more fresh fruits and vegetables to work with this month. I’m looking forward to cooking my favorite green curry soon, shown below. You’ll find more seasonal recipes in this post!

    I’m sure many of us have a good idea of what you are going through. This is so terribly hard losing the pet you love so much. You and Cookie will be in my thought for a long time. Cookie was an excellent judge of recipes.

    You are fortunate to have given and received love from Cookie. I hope your many memories togethergive you some peace.

    You are an amazing Chef, you have taught me so much! Sending love and hugs for the loss of Cookie, I had a Grate Dane/Irish wolfhound named Rudy for 13 years from when I was 20. They are so special, I still miss him even though it has been 13 years since he passed. Thank you for sharing!

  5. Sandy says:

    I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Cookie. It’s so difficult to lose a pet. May her memory be a blessing.

    HI Kate: FYI none of your videos have ever worked for me. I use Windows 10 desktop, Chrome browser up to date, and my adblocker definitely turned off.
    Even on the solo video pages, they are blank.
    Weird.
