I am so glad that May is finally here! Even though it’s not truly summer until June, May is my unofficial start to the summer. The warmer weather, opening the pool, outdoor time, plant flowers and starting the garden. I love it.
I have some wonderful dishes in my recipe round-up to share with you for this month!
I just started these posts in March. If you want to know the idea behind these posts, check out March’s recipe round-up post here. And April’s recipe round-up post here. To summarize, these round-ups include four great recipes I found on the web that I made – and loved – this past month. They’re all easy to prepare, will work for most families, include ingredients that are pretty common and passed the taste test in our home. I included a link back to each of the original recipe sources but I also give my two cents on each recipe and what we liked best or changed to work for our family.
I’m always looking for new meals and treats but sometimes you never know how difficult some recipes really are – and if the’re really any good. So I hope these recipes and my comments will help! Click on the links for each recipe and try them yourself. And I’d love to hear your feedback!
Here are my May recipe round-up picks {with my two cents added}:
Shrimp & Avocado Taco Salad from Iowa Girl Eats. I don’t make shrimp too often and I don’t know why. This was so yummy! The only change was that I cut down on the cilantro. Great for Cinco de Mayo!! Olé!
Spinach, Onion, Swiss Frittata from Cooking Light. A yummy treat for breakfast – maybe even Mother’s Day?? But it can definitely work for dinner too. Being from Cooking Light is a bonus!
Chicken Picatta Pasta Toss from Rachael Ray. Easy peasy! We love our pasta. I only added 1/3 of the capers it called for. I love ’em but the kids, not so much.
Chicken Tamale Casserole from Posed Perfection. Another Cinco de Mayo option. This recipe uses a box of the Jiffy corn muffin mix. You had me at hello. Didn’t change a thing.
I hope you enjoy these yummy dishes as much as we did. And I hope you have a wonderful – and warm – weekend!!
I'd love to hear your comments!
