Hi there! Welcome to The Hearth and Soul Link Party! This week I am featuring Spring Crafts and Recipes to inspire you!
How are things going with you? My husband and I spent some time exploring Half Moon Bay this weekend. What a gorgeous part of the world!
Last week I shared one of my late Mom’s recipes – and a bit of family history as well.
Don’t miss these wonderfully wholesome Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Muffins – definitely a recipe with a story behind it!

Your Oatmeal Raisin Muffins look delicious! It is all about the Irish at the cottage this week. I am sharing my Grandma’s Dublin Coddle along with my Herb Skillet Bread and of course the Irish Meal Plan for the week. Hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day and thanks so much for the party!

March 12, 2018 at 9:10 pmThat magazine art is such a fun idea! I seriously love it. I’ve always enjoyed collages and doing different color themes for rooms would be so enjoyable.
This week I’ve linked up my gluten-free Spiced Party Meatballs, which are great for any celebration, and my Flourless Chocolate Banana Walnut Honey Cake, which is perfect for Passover.
Have a great week and Happy St. Patrick’s Day, April!

March 13, 2018 at 7:29 amApril, I loved going to the article and reading about your mother. What a special lady! I am blessed to have my mom still with us. Today, Monday, is her 95th birthday and she is still going strong. I still use many of her old favorite recipes. Best wishes as you complete your cookbook.
I love the pictures from Half Moon Bay. You and your husband are adorable. Thanks for hosting!
