Recipes of the Month: March 2026

Published on March 14, 2026March 16, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

I will try to post a few recipes that should be fairly budget-friendly and easy to make for anyone wanting to learn to make things from scratch. This month is the start of a new menu for us and it is exciting to bring in new flavors and colors as nature is doing the same.

This month is full of special holidays, but I thought I’d start with National Pi Day on March 14th. We usually go with Pizzas on this day. For sides, we will have breadsticks and/or salad. Here are a few of our favorite pizza recipes:

For dessert, we will make some sort of pie:

Cowboy Grub Dinner

This was modified from one of the Trim Healthy Mama recipes. It is so good, and we love it so much… especially on cool days. It is so filling, and everyone always wants more, so we rarely have any leftovers.

We really like to make this with ground venison that has a little bacon mixed with it, but lately we’ve been using a combination of ground turkey and ground sausage.

Biblical Feasts: Passover Menu & Activities

If you’ve been around here for a bit, then you probably know that we have been on a journey to learn more about the Biblical Feasts. Well, Passover is almost upon us, and I decided that being prepared makes it more likely that I can follow through with the intentions of celebrating this year.

We plan to try to incorporate some traditional dishes, and we plan to eat by candlelight whenever possible. Please note that I am not an expert, and most of these ideas are just ideas that I have, and I can not say that they are traditional or ‘allowed’ for a traditional Jewish celebration.

The Lord had told Moses to have the people take an unblemished lamb into their homes and let it there with them for four days before killing it for the Passover Dinner… we probably won’t be doing this but we will try to eat lamb.

Wine or Grape Juice is normally served with meals as well, although we will probably opt for sparkling juice, apple cider, or juice.

You can change whatever recipes you need to make this work for you… you can even buy premade foods and make this work. The idea is to celebrate your BLESSINGS and show THANKFULNESS to GOD.

Special Holiday Meals: Polar Bear Day Menu

Polar Bear Day might not sound very interesting to you, but my kids love Polar Bears, so we will probably spend part of the day researching them and making some fun snacks and foods related to them in some way. No, there won’t be any raw fish, but we will have items that go with the theme.
