Winter winds are whipping around for many of us, but there's still plenty to focus on!February is a great month to:
- find deals on lingerie, menswear, jewelry and picture frames
- snag clearances on electronic left-overs from the holidays, sports equipment, and of course, after-Valentines Day candy and goodies
- prune fruit trees, roses, and vines (but be sure to avoid pruning in wet weather, wait for a string of dry days in the forecast.)
- plan winter travel and get a jump on spring break, too. Planning early will ensure you get a broader selection of locations and deals to choose from.
- eat chocolate... after all, this is the month of love (and chocolates) and dark chocolate is known to have oodles of health benefits, so go on, indulge just a little bit.
- clean and organize your garden tools in preparation of the planting season that will soon be upon us.
- plant a window box herb garden. Likely your supply from last year is dwindling and it's time to start new crops of flavor enhancers.
- start your spring vegetable seeds near the end of the month for optimum growth.
- try a new soup or crock pot dish. A slow cooked warm winter dish will be well appreciated, plus you'll likely have a nice round of left-overs to enjoy or freeze for a break from cooking down the road.
A few recipes to get you started:
Beef in Stout With Herb Dumplings
Crockpot Root Vegetable Stew
Wild Rice Sausage Casserole
