March 2017 Weeknight Dinner Ideas Part 1

March sure did enter like a lion this year!  Here I was, all excited about Spring arriving early, and now I may have to plan my grocery shopping around a snow storm this weekend? Ugh!  I guess the upside is a snow storm is the perfect excuse to stay inside and bake a cake!  

To add to my list of first world problems this week, I searched four grocery stories, but was unable to find both the Arctic Char and sunchokes for the recipe below.  If anyone is able to make the dish I would love to hear how it turned out!  As always, please let me know if you enjoyed any of the recipes featured below, and share my blog with your friends!
