#FoodYearLinkup – March 2015

---

It’s nearly the end of February so it’s now time for March’s #FoodYearLinkup.

I was so proud of my linkup last month with a total of 30 fabulous recipes and foodie posts linked up for all sorts of events.

It’s been so tough to choose my favourite this month as there were so many and the ones for Valentine’s Day were particularly gorgeous. However, I’ve finally decided on this Marshmallow Jelly Fondant Recipe from Karen at Mummy Do It. It was a tough choice but in the end I was swayed by the fabulous recipe and the fact that Karen wished me Happy Birthday in her post and made me feel special (Thanks Karen).

So what’s the theme this month?

As always, I’d love you to come and link up any foodie posts relating to the events in the Food Blogger’s Calendar for March.

To save you the effort of going to have a look, here’s a list (there’s loads to choose from this month)…

23 February – 8 March – Fairtrade Fortnight

1 March – St David’s Day

1-8 March – Dementia UK’s Time for a Cuppa

1-31 March – Veggie Month

1-31 March – Scottish Year of Food and Drink – Brewing and Distilling Month

2-8 March – British Pie Week

13 March – Comic Relief/Red Nose Day

14 March – Pi Day

OK, so technically not a foodie day, but why not use it as an excuse to make a pie anyway!

15 March – Mother’s Day

16-22 March – National Salt Awareness Week

17 March – St Patrick’s Day

23-29 March – National Butchers’ Week

To join in with the #FoodYearLinkup…

1. Click the “add your link” button and add your link with a nice picture to entice everyone to come and have a look.
2. Add the #FoodYearLinkup badge to your post so your readers know where to come to find lots of other fun foodie posts (you’ll find the code towards the bottom of this post).
3. To make my life easier I’d appreciate it if you could leave me a quick comment letting me know which event you’re linking up for (it helps me to tweet them at the right time).
4. Join me in visiting the other linkers and comment, tweet, pin, stumble, etc. (whatever you like best) at least one, but really as many as you can.
5. Come back again next month and do it all again.

Throughout the month I’ll be tweeting every entry and if you tweet me (@Charlotte’s Lively KitchenUK) to let me know you’ve linked up I’ll make sure I include you in the tweet. I’ll also be pinning every entry on my dedicated #FoodYearLinkup board and may include my favourites in round up posts for a selection of events throughout the year.

So what are you waiting for? Link up up right here…

Before I go…

I’m always looking to keep the calendar as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible so I’ve been busy adding more new events.
