March Dinners
Please share your menus, recipes, pics of your main meal of the day!
I was going to make Tomato and Sausage Risotto tonight, but I forgot to buy the fresh spinach that is one of the main components of that dish. Hopefully I can get some sometime today.

Re: March Dinners
whoops! I posted in the Feb thread.
Smitten Kitchen's cranberry pecan chicken salad in lettuce wraps tonight. Man I wish I had some right now...sounds SO good. Then we need to just eat leftovers the next two nights. Full fridge and I plan on doing some freezer cooking with my SIL this weekend.

Re: March Dinners
Tomato and Sausage Risotto - per usual, I can't leave a recipe alone. My changes: I use 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice to feed my entire family and I add a whole quart of chicken broth with the tomatoes. I also don't use wine so I add just a touch of white wine vinegar as the first add in to the rice and let it absorb before adding the tomato broth. I also make my own turkey sausage using ground turkey and Italian sausage spices from La Leche League's Whole Foods Cookbook (onion, salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, fennel seed, crumbled bay leaves, garlic). I spice the ground turkey directly in the skillet while I am browning it for this recipe.
---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ---------- Would you mind sharing the recipe? I can't seem to find it in a search.

Re: March Dinners
http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2008/...chicken-salad/
I don't care for walnuts much so I always use pecans--forgot that's not what she calls it I skip the herbs and use less vinegar--maybe only a tablespoon or so? And I typically don't have white wine vinegar on hand but ACV works great. At least two friends who say they do not like chicken salad have said they like this. It's lightly dressed, not super goopy like chicken salad often is. And I so prefer it in lettuce wraps than on a sandwich now. The light, fresh crunch of the lettuce is just more satisfying (not to mention better for you). Oh and I skip the black pepper because I hate black pepper and always skip it

Re: March Dinners
Oh it is March. We are either having bean soup with corn bread or polenta and haddock with roasted broccoli.
