July 2021 Hits & Misses (316 views)

I can only remember the most recent ones from the month but here goes:

Excellent:
-Tomato Pie-Vivian Howard
-Balela Salad-TJ copycat recipe
-Zucchini Chickpea "burgers"-Eating Well
-Zucchini Hummus-me. This was wonderful!
-Grilled Zucchini Caponata-A Zest For Life blog
-Spicy White Bean Sausage Escarole Soup-me
-Eggplant Parmesan-Sam Sifton. Not traditional breaded and fried. Very light and flavorful. My new favorite eggplant Parm.
-Sheet-pan Roasted Chicken (Turkey in my case) Meatballs and Chickpeas in a Spicy Harissa Tomato Sauce-Claire Saffitz. Also added red onion and cauliflower and served over a couscous pilaf I made up with feta cheese. SO YUM!
-Italian Fish Stew with Beans-Real Simple Magazine. Another delicious winner this month. I used flageolet beans.

Good:
-Egg Sausage Cheese Stuffing Breakfast Casserole-Kraft. Made for my husband who loves Stovetop but not my thing! He liked it
-Chocolate Cookies with Cherries and Pecans-Milk Street Kitchen-good flavor and not overly rich but I am just overall not a chocolate cookie fanatic nor a big sweet eater.

Repeaters i.e oldies but goodies:
-Persian Legume Noodle Soup-Ottolenghi
-Pasta Fagioli-Olive Garden copycat
-White Beans with Tomato and Sage-Milk Street Kitchen
-Bran Flax Muffins-Bob's Red Mill-added zucchini to use garden supply
-Rise and shine Breakfast muffins-? source-I think it was an old old add for the peanut board(there is peanut butter in the muffin). Also added zuccihini because my garden made me!
-Caper dill Lox yogurt cheese-Cook's Illustrated-made this to use up scraps from my homemade lox when I sliced it up and used it for a brunch I served on homemade bagels.

For August I have already made (to freeze): Baked Ziti with Summer Vegetables-and the summer veggies are? You got it!! ZUCCHINI! and with the ones I pick later this week probably gonna do Smitten Kitchen's Zucchini butter spaghetti. Also made Braised Cauliflower with Tomatoes and Feta (Milk Street kitchen). 

I always surprise myself that I remember as many as I do each month even with not tracking anymore. I guess i have food on my brain a lot!!
