Lamb Souffle

Spring is here! It's time to clean out the wardrobe, find your rain boots and start eating springtime foods like: Cadbury eggs, Peeps, ramps, peas, salads, and lamb.

March, you were pretty much a beast for 28 of your 31 says, in my opinion. You are officially in time out. See you in 2015. There was way too much snow and not enough sun. All of that is behind us now and I'm going to focus on you now, April. Actually, I'm going to focus on lamb.
I love lamb. It's my favorite meat. And I formulated the lamb souffle for the folks over at Buffalo Creek Farm & Creamery (buffalocreekfarmandcreamery.com) in Germanton, NC. It's perfect to usher in the new season while still warming up your insides against the still-chilly evenings.
