means

Spring Foods

in Spanish.

Food is unquestionably one of the most frequently contemplated topics.

The subject of Spring Foods [put forth by The Blended Blog] brings to my mind, first and foremost:

Salad

Light, cool, fresh, and satisfying for the warm season that will be getting warmer every day until November.

I have a salad every day for lunch.  LB and I had salad for dinner last night.  Every time we go to a Mexican Restaurant we split an order of Fajitas Texanas.  LB will enjoy the tortillas and I will use most of the lettuce to make a SALAD.

Another springtime favorite

Grilled Vegetables

LB and I have always enjoyed finding a spot on the beach or near the river to grill.

We have a small grill that LB has named “R2” that we will pack up to take along.  When a suitable place has been found, we will set up R2, light him up and load him up with with turkey sausage dogs, sweet peppers, onions, and corn on the cob.  On a few occasions we have grilled kebobs.  Passersby will almost always comment on the appetizing aroma.

Carrots

are typically a favorite springtime food.

Speaking of carrots, today is

National Bugs Bunny Day

Back to Carrots.

Carrots are a vegetable that I like, but not typically a first choice.

Carrot Cake Trifle, however, is a preferred springtime food.  I’ve made it for Easter Sunday dinner two years in a row.  And as luck would have it, the Carrot Cake Trifle is one of the recipes that I have posted on my blog here.  And the cream cheese frosting is one of the recipes that I have posted in my blog here.   I remember “testing” this frosting and thinking it is rich enough to top any dessert that calls for cream cheese frosting.  For the Carrot Cake Trifle, 16 ounces of cool whip is folded into the cream cheese frosting to layer with the walnuts and the cake in the trifle bowl.  It is delectable!

Did I ever get back to carrots?

Talk about DIGRESSING!
