So this springlike menu fits my mood today. The combination of chicken, fennel, garlic, lemon and grape tomatoes is colorful and flavorful. Serve it over hot cooked linguine. The breadsticks are super easy and really fun to make. And I love fresh spinach in salads; it is so tender and smooth, with a rich nutty taste. The strawberries add wonderful flavor and texture contrast and they look so pretty too. The ice cream dessert should be made ahead - and yes, it does taste just like fudgesicles!
Enjoy this almost-spring menu.
Lemon Chicken Pasta
- Lemon Chicken
This recipe reminds me of shrimp scampi; it uses the same flavor combination. It is creamy, smooth, and very satisfying. - Soft Garlicky Breadsticks
There's never enough garlic, in my opinion! These easy breadsticks are fun to make; let your kids help. - Spinach Strawberry Salad
You can use your favorite bottled dressing to make this beautiful recipe even easier. Poppy seed would be really good. I love the color combination of the dark spinach leaves and deep ruby strawberries; and it tastes great too! - Fudgesicle Pie
This easy dessert tastes just like old-fashioned fudgesicles. Top yours with a dollop of whipped cream and some M&M candies for a great treat.
