Seasonal Saturday & Fresh, Clean, and Pure Friday!

Li.
April is almost half over as time flies by!  And what a gorgeous month it has been outside.  I've enjoyed it so much since we've got our veggie gardens all planted and growing nicely.  We even planted sweet corn this year . . . we'll see how that goes!  In about a week, we'll be past our official 'freeze' date in this region of the U.S., so I'm crossing my fingers that all my newly planted babies will be fine.  But I ramble!  It's time again to share your posts on how you've freshened up your recipes, homes, gardens, lifestyles, etc.  Are you doing something more seasonal-oriented that you'd like to share?  This is the place to share those posts.

Here are the featured blogs from last week . . . but really ALL of the posts were so incredible!
.
.
Sonia from My Creative Flavors shared one of the BEST posts on how to prepare artichokes as well as a yummy recipe for Stuffed Artichokes.  This post is one of the best that I've ever read on cooking fresh artichokes.  I hope you check it out!
.
.
Glenda over at Tootsie Time is the busiest garden blogger, I tell you!  In her post she takes us on a tour of her green house and chats about her first blooms of spring.
.
.
Once again for the second week in a row, there were no posts for decor, so once again there is a second featured food blog post.  Jessica from Kitchen Belleicious shared a beautiful step-by-step post on Brown Sugar Shortcakes with Strawberries and Lemon Cream.  Just the title alone makes me drool!
.
.
Denise from Creative Kitchen shares very honestly about her lifestyle changes and efforts to eat more "clean" for her health in her post The Plight of a Food Blogger and Clean Eating.  Actually, blogging and reading other's food blogs have helped me eat better and more healthfully, and I'm so grateful for that.
.

To help us celebrate Easter in a precious way, Katherine from Katherine's Corner shared her post on how to create ribbon Easter eggs.  These eggs are so beautiful.  I've always loved them and yet have never made them myself.  Just darling!

Yes, you can share more than one post.  Just remember that I gently remove any post related to giveaways, coupons and sales, and any attempt to try to sell stuff.  Please be blogger polite and either include a link or place the Fresh, Clean, and Pure Friday or Seasonal Saturday button with a link to this blog in your post for others to find this get-together.  Thanks so much!
