Easter is right around the corner, so it is time for Holiday Recipe Club again! For this Easter/Passover addition Erin gave us the challenge ingredients of Carrots, Spinach or Eggs.

Jordan Almonds are not just for weddings anymore. A few weeks ago, Oh! Nuts asked if I was interested in receiving some Jordan Almonds to develop a recipe. Sure why not?! I had never had a Jordan Almond before, so I was a little nervous. I figured Google would save me, and I could find…
