Weekly Menu Planner for April 18, Healthy Seasonal Dinners, from Thyme for Cooking

Weekly Menu Planner: April 18, 2008

      We've declared it Spring and have started using the barbecue grill. If you're weather isn't cooperating instructions are given for indoor alternative. The brief green garlic season is over. I managed to find a few small ones yet for this weekend, but that's all for this year. The artichokes are looking lovely, though... And there are the delicate snow pea pods and New Potatoes.
Bon Appétit!
