What’s In Season – Recipes to Make in February

Recipes to Make in February
Recipes to Make in February

While we’re still in the Winter season, February is one of my favs because it’s my birthday month!


I’m definitely taking the opportunity to enjoy all the delicious food & drink with family and friends this month to celebrate.

So, let’s chat delicious recipes to make in February and easy ways to enjoy meals with those we love!

My husband and I have birthdays that are quite close together so we usually make an epic cake to celebrate. This year I made this Coconut Cake from Ina Garten. It, is, AMAZING! If you love coconut I definitely recommend trying this cake whether you have something wonderful to celebrate or just because 🙂


We’ve also been enjoying a lot of cozy dishes because here in Calgary, this last month was pretty chilly. Half-Baked Harvest is one of my go-tos for cozy dishes like this Coconut Milk Braised Chicken.

And if you’re looking for something a little bit EXTRA to make this month, I have these Crispy Quinoa Burgers topped with Sweet Potato Fries on my list to make.


I’m also looking forward to trying some more plant-based recipes. We started doing #meatlessmonday last year and now we’re adding a second meatless day to our weekly meals like these Cauliflower Rice Burrito Bowls. They’re perfect for Taco Tuesdays!

And, if you love a good, classic bowl of mac & cheese I’ve got you covered with my easy Cheesy Shells that you can find in my e-Cookbook.

So what ingredients are in season in February? Here are recipes to make in February from the blog:

Apples – Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins

Carrots – Chicken Noodle Soup

Citrus – Winter Citrus Chopped Salad

Cucumbers – Minty Cucumber Gin Spritz

Kale – Oven Baked Risotto with Mushrooms & Kale

Sweet Potatoes – Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits

Recipes to Make in February
Whichever dishes you choose to cook in February, I want to challenge you to invite over family or friends for a casual night-in or lunch!

This is something I’ve been doing lately and I can honestly say it’s magical. I haven’t worried about perfectly setting the table and kept the menu simple; I’ve used what I have to mix and match, setting a cozy scene for all of us to enjoy food together.


I’ve actually made my Roasted Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese for friends a couple times this last month; it’s really just been nice to sit down for a meal together that’s simple and delicious.

Until the next cooking adventure,
Jess

Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to store them to make sure they keep longer?! I’ve put together my top 4 tips for storing fresh herbs:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Soft herbs like parsley, basil, cilantro and dill have ‘soft’ stems so store them like you would fresh flowers. For parsley, cilantro and dill, cut about 1 inch off the stems, place in a jar with water, cover with a plastic produce or ziploc bag and store in the fridge. Keep in the fridge and replace the water every couple of days. These can last about 2 weeks so when ready to use, take the amount you need and wash!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Basil is a bit of a tricky one as it’s very delicate. If purchased from the grocery store, it’s likely grown in a greenhouse and comes already packaged. I usually leave this at room temperature and use it within a couple of days. If I’m cutting basil from the garden, I’m generally going to use it right away. However, you could follow the same instructions as the soft herbs BUT leave it in the water at room temperature.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Hard herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage store well when wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel, then wrapped in plastic and put in the fridge. They will last 1-2 weeks.⁠⠀
Mint is technically a hard herb because of its stem, however, I’ve found I can store either way mentioned above and it still does well.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-And, the best way to clean any herbs that you’re using is to get a bowl of cool water and dunk the herbs a couple of times so that any dirt sinks to the bottom. Refresh the bowl with clean water before moving on to another herb.⁠⠀
