What to Cook This April
[ad_1]
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind words and good wishes afterwards news sharing about Cookie’s passing. Dogs don’t live long and I always dread this day coming. It’s surreal and so sad to be on the other side. I read and re-read your sentiments with a box of tissues and it brings me peace.
I never thought of it like this, but a great way to remember Cookie is to cook the recipes I made with her by my side. So many! I have a few new ones ready to share with you as soon as I can think again. I’m cuddling our daughter and tackling some spring cleaning projects for a distraction. I’ll be back soon to share more stories and pictures of Cookie—she’s a real thing.
If you’re here for the recipes, I have plenty to share with you. April brings more seasonal produce to the table, including asparagus, beets and peas. You can see the full list below, and be more spring recipes here.
