Aloha from Honolulu! Welcome to The Hearth and Soul Link Party. This week there are lots of February Ideas – great inspiration for enjoying the last few days of the shortest month of the year.
At Hearth and Soul, blog posts old and new, about anything that feeds the soul, are welcome. This includes – but is not limited to – family, home, recipes, decorating, crafts, DIY, travel, organisation, book reviews, the arts and self improvement.
I hope your February is going well. We are travelling at the moment, so I am having some trouble commenting on some blogs. Google hates it when I travel, and often blocks my comments, or leaves me stuck in a cycle of endlessly selecting photographs of teeny-tiny fire hydrants and traffic lights! I have been pinning and sharing though.
What’s Been Happening on AprilJHarris.com
I love dining at good restaurants, and this week I shared 5 of my favourites.
If you are looking for a special place to eat in London, you will love my Top 5 Favourite London Restaurants!
It’s a priority for my husband and I to eat less meat, and as we love fish, it is no hardship!
My Easiest Ever Shrimp Primavera can be on the table in 3o minutes or less, and you won’t believe how delicious it is! For a gluten-free option, serve the shrimp over rice or use gluten free pasta.

Comments & Reviews
Thanks so much for hosting! I’m linking up with BATHTUB OR SHOWER? LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE, a short story added to our SHORT STORY PROMPT LINK PARTY 2, won’t you join us for fun and creativity?
Thank you so much for visiting and sharing, Dee! I’m excited to join in your short story prompt link up when we get back from our travels 🙂 I’m sorry I can’t comment on your posts just now as Google are being a pain. They don’t like it when I travel. I will share though 🙂 Have a wonderful week!
April, you’re not “glowing” nearly enough for that humid climate! Looking forward to hearing all about it. Aloha to you too!
Thank you, Pauline! Look forward to seeing you soon 🙂
April, enjoy your vacation! It shouldn’t be too hard, right?!?
Thank you, Emily 🙂
I’m definitely trying your shrimp primavera recipe! It looks fabulously easy:)
It really is, Emily! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do 🙂
Aloha, April! You two look adorable in your Hawaiian gear! Thank you so much for featuring my Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan, a recipe that can be easily doubled or even tripled to feed a crowd. I know what you mean about “stuck in a cycle of endlessly selecting photographs of teeny-tiny fire hydrants and traffic lights!” Anyone who has that type of comment verification on their site should change it immediately! I don’t need glasses for the computer, but when I get one of those “eye-test” captchas, I have to go find my reading glasses!
Thank you, Jean! And it is my pleasure. I do love versatile recipes like your Sheet Pan Chicken, especially when they look so delicious! Hope you have a lovely week 🙂
I would love to come try out those London restaurants someday! Thank you for hosting another great party, April.
I hope you are able to come and visit someday soon, Kathi! Thank you so much for visiting and sharing 🙂
