Thank You, Tieghan Gerard {Half Baked Harvest} Plus A New Chef Annoucement!

This is our final week featuring Tieghan Gerard of the blog Half Baked Harvest. Next week we will be ushering in a new chef (see more below), but until then we are saying Thank You to Tieghan by making one last Tieghan recipe, OR any recipe from one of our other chefs that we feel would say thank you!

Make and post your Thank You, Tieghan recipe by Sunday, April 3rd. Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after.

*****PLEASE REMEMBER that we are continuing to cook the recipes of our 22 IHCC FEATURED CHEFS. Make sure that any recipes you post on our link-ups are from and credited to one of those 22 chefs.

ANNOUNCEMENT: We voted and starting April 4th, Dorie Greenspan is our next I Heart Cooking Clubs Chef!

We know that Dorie will be a wonderful addition to our IHCC family as she has recipes for everyone! Cooking (and baking) with Dorie will begin in about a week so take some time and look online or in your Dorie cookbooks for recipes that you might like to share!

We will continue cooking with all of our chefs, but Dorie will be our featured chef from April 4th through October 2nd!

New Dorie themes will go up this week, but our first theme is always a welcome theme and anything goes! Participants also have the option to cook with Dorie or any of our other chefs!

Everything's Coming Up Green!

Rainbows and Shamrocks Fabric by the Yard. St. Patrick's image 1

Springtime is in the air, and so is St. Patrick's Day! This week make any dish that is green, or any dish that is Irish! Don't worry, we won't pinch you if you don't!

Make and post your Everything's Coming Up Green recipe by Sunday, March 20th . Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after.

If you'd like to check out our Spring Cleaning dishes from last week, please click the link and check it out!

NOTE: Suggestions for chefs are Jose Andres (the chef and humanitarian), Gordon Ramsey, Allison Roman, and Claudia Roden, and Julia Child (and lucky enough she is already an IHCC chef). We will keep the option to cook with any and all of our chefs always, from here on out. I am working on coming up with a way for us to vote.

Another question worth asking - does anyone have any interest in moving this group to Instagram? We could use the hashtag #iheartcookingclubs and post to it, or we could even create a Facebook group and post to that page. Just an idea I've been tossing around for awhile. Please feel free to leave any comments below.

NOTE: Sorry to anyone who tried to join the link this week. I just realized that it was closed. I have opened another link if you would like to join up. Thanks!

Spring Cleaning! {And Let's Nominate New Chefs}!

**Don't Forget To Scroll To The Bottom Of This Post and Leave Comments about a possible New Chef for April! We want to hear your ideas!

It's that time of year where we foodies need to do a little SPRING CLEANING! That fridge and freezer and pantry needs an overhaul. We've got to find the bits and bobs that need cleaning out and use them up before spring gets here! Maybe you have some meat in the freezer, or some veggies in that crisper drawer, maybe your pantry is full of pasta, or you have cheese exploding out of your cheese drawer. Let's get it al together and make a good kitchen sink dish!

And while we're cleaning house...let's get together and come up with some ideas for a new IHCC chef, starting in April! Maybe we want another ALL CHEFS edition? Or maybe there is a chef we want to cook alongside with? I'm a personal fan of Jess at the blog How Sweet Eats (click the link there to be directed to her site) and she has two cookbooks, but I would love to hear other suggestions! PLEASE LEAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS DOWN BELOW!

New themes for March are up on the sidebar, to the right!

And now back to the dish of the week, use any ingredient in your fridge, freezer, or pantry that helps you do a little SPRING CLEANING. Make and post your dish, using the link below by Sunday, March 13th.

Please be mindful to cook with one of our chefs, listed in the heading above!
