I hope I can make it!

Good luck to anyone participating! We all need points for one reason or another; mine is for homeschooling material for my children. Best of luck to everyone! =)

My favorite flavors of Spring are salmon (with dill sauce) and asparagus.

I got one of the McCormick Recipe Inspirations (Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes), and made it yesterday. It turned out well. I will be checking out their other recipe creations based on the success of that one.
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:39pm UTC
I love salmon! I would like to try the rosemary chicken one.
Debby C. May 20, 2010, 9:58pm UTC
what do you use to make the dill sauce? I love salmon and am looking for new healthy ways to fix it...

Hope to join this conversation tonight!

Just wanted to comment on the McCormick Recipe Inspirations Enchilada I received from the last drawing so please do not enter my name in this drawing. I want the others that have not had a chance to try this to win.

We made these a couple of nights ago and it was delicious. So easy to prepare with the spices already measured. The only thing different I did was used TVP in place of the ground beef.
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:37pm UTC
I have only received the garlic lime chicken fajitas so far. I would love to try the enchiladas.
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 9:01pm UTC
I am here for the chat!

What’s your favorite springtime meal idea? My favorite is fresh crappie filets that are baked. We actually had them tonight! Add a good salad and I'm all set.

What flavors evoke special springtime memories for your friends and family? To me I love anything that has a garlic taste, but also I love spicy things. The taste of fresh tomatoes really make me think of springtime though. Fresh out of the garden is the best!

Are there any spring ingredients you love cooking with in the kitchen? I love anything fresh!
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:14pm UTC
Hi everyone! Anyone else here?
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 9:18pm UTC
I think it's just me and you
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:23pm UTC
My fave springtime meal is a big salad.
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 9:28pm UTC
Nothing really beats a salad. I love them too. I could eat them all the time and never get tired. There are way too many varieties to get tired of them. :-)
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:30pm UTC
I eat a salad for lunch almost every day.
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 9:35pm UTC
I just started using balsamic vinaigrette. It has such an excellent taste.
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:36pm UTC
I use Newman's balsalmic viniagrette dressing. It's my favorite bottled dressing.
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:26pm UTC
Sorry was on the phone and trying to chat at the same time. I'm off the phone now so I can pay attention to the chats.
Beverly Seavey May 20, 2010, 9:36pm UTC
Rubarb crumble over spaghetti, really a dessert but so much vitamin C! Nothing is at all like rhunarb.
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 9:41pm UTC
It would sound good to me if I liked rhubarb, that's one food I just don't like. My mom and dad absolutely love it.
Beverly Seavey May 20, 2010, 9:41pm UTC
I have, however, seen rhubarb treated as a vegetable in a cookbook on Central Asian cooking. I never dared to try it. So many things I prefer to try it prepared by someone who knows how it should turn out. I never know if I made something correctly if I have never had it before and it seems kind of strange.
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:43pm UTC
I'm trying to keep up with two chats tonight.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt May 20, 2010, 9:45pm UTC
What’s your favorite springtime meal idea?- I love making meals out of salads. With grilled meats or chickpeas.

What flavors evoke special springtime memories for your friends and family? grilled steaks with mushrooms and onions, the way mom always made them

Are there any spring ingredients you love cooking with in the kitchen? - fresh basil from my plant
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:50pm UTC
Grilled steaks evoke good memories for me too!
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:47pm UTC
I love cooking with fresh vegetables such as garden tomatoes in the summer.
Debby C. May 20, 2010, 9:48pm UTC
fried green tomatoes christina!
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:50pm UTC
Yummy!
Debby C. May 20, 2010, 9:48pm UTC
now I'm hungry for those...oiy!
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 9:51pm UTC
Fried Green Tomatoes are great
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 9:54pm UTC
I don't ever make them but I like them. I love fried okra!
Debby C. May 20, 2010, 9:56pm UTC
why are we having a food chat so late at night...it's making me very hungry...
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 9:59pm UTC
ooh, okra is oh so good too!
Debby C. May 20, 2010, 9:59pm UTC
gotta have the first bbq of the season in the summer...home made sauces now..
Tara C. May 20, 2010, 10:01pm UTC
My husband makes his own BBQ sauce and it is so good. He just started doing it recently.
Nancy L. May 20, 2010, 10:00pm UTC
My favorite springtime treat is fresh basil on olive sprinkled ciabatta bread with just a touch of salt and pepper. Very simple but mmmmmmm, so good!
Christina L. May 20, 2010, 10:00pm UTC
I can't believe it's already 10 p.m.! Good night everyone!
Bridget Jean May 20, 2010, 10:12pm UTC
DARN IT, I missed it! :(
Jan S. May 21, 2010, 9:47pm UTC
Sorry to get here late. I found a sale on berries - strawberries, blueberries and blackberries and have been slicing, chopping and freezing them for future sauces and muffins. Freezing them with a bit of sugar helps keep the sweet, fresh taste.
