I thought I had missed the thread, but realized one hadn't been started yet! Another good month. I've been exploring my new "favorite" source The Food Lab/Serious Eats. I'm finding it similar to ATK, but not as pretentious. Mind, I do enjoy ATK, but Serious Eats has a fun sense of humor that comes across in their posts. Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Casserole (Ckng Lght, March 2017) Putsy, but good. Made a 9x13 pan. Slow Cooked 15 Bean Soup (modified from ATK Slow Cooker Revolution) Very good - I forgot to add the greens and it didn't really need it. Beefless Stew (Straight Up Food via Pinterest) This was very tasty! Gluten free, vegan, makes a bunch and would freeze well! Tempeh Rubens (Ckng Lght/All Recipes) This was a repeat recipe. Just as good the second time round. Salmon Chowder (The Food Lab/Serious Eats) I'll be making this again! Pasta with Butnut Squash, Browned Butter and Sage (Food Lab/Serious Eats) This needs the "good" pasta, not Creamette, but I had bought the Creamette and only found the "good" pasta later and didn't want to spend the money on more pasta. Mexican Butternut Squash (Food Lab/Serious Eats) While not a "Fail", not a success either and this was entirely my fault because I misread the recipe. Planning on trying again this weekend. Baked Eggs with Creamy Greens (Food Lab/Seriously Eats) Creamy eggy goodness in a pan. Slow Cooked BBQ Beef Stuffed Potatoes (Ckng Lght Jan/Feb 2017) Ckng Lght did two really similar recipes nearly two months apart. This recipe was so easy - chop, plop, wrap, walk away. Sausage Ragu over Polenta (Ckng Lght, Jan/Feb 2017) Another easy one. Full reviews, recipes and commentary can be found here: Scifi with a Dash of Paprika  |

Varaile, Thx for starting, the monthly hits and misses is always a favorite. Your recipes sound great, certainly will be checking out some. And thanks for the serious eats suggestion too -- no doubt I will be bookmarking that one. Some of the recipes from March, off the top of my head..... ok Cheesy Beans & Rice/damndelicous -- just ok very good Sweet Potato & Apple Salad with Chipotle Lime Dressing/from the board -emptynestmom Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Tahini Dressing/budgetbytes T&T - Garlicky Tortellini Spinach and Tomato Soup/Fine Cooking -- super easy and a way to use that bag of tortellini www.finecooking.com/recipes/garlicky_tortellini_soup.aspxOne Pan Farro with Tomatoes (sallyt/smittenkitchen) Veggie Burrito Bowls For Two www.amuse-your-bouche.com/veggie-burrito-bowls/Basil Roasted Vegetables Over Couscous Cooking Light June '96 Mediterranean Farro Salad with Spiced Chickpeas -- Sooooo good and one of my new favorite recipes and given the ingredients no surprise. Farro, chickpeas seasoned with smoked paprika, cuc/tomato, tahini, lemon, garlic ...... My dressing didn't seem that creamy/well mixed, bet it is because wanted to save cleanup and mixed in bowl not blender, and it was a bit strong from the garlic next day, perhaps I added too much garlic. I have made just the spiced chickpeas on its own too. www.budgetbytes.com/2016/02/mediterranean-farro-salad-with-spiced-chickpeas/ |

Bookmarked some good looking recipes above. Thanks guys. Sadly, I did not keep track very well this month so I don't have much to contribute tonight. And right now my brain is mashed potatoes after spending the morning at Sunday school trying to teach a bunch of 2nd and 3rd graders so I can't recall much at the moment. Try to do a better job this month!

VERY GOOD Pork Chops with Herbed Goat Cheese Butter – Cooking Light. Herb butter makes these chops special. (I didn’t make the green beans.) www.cookinglight.com/recipes/pork-chops-herbed-goat-cheese-butter-green-beansOne-Bowl Monster M&M Cookies – Mel’s Kitchen Café. These are addictive. I added 1 Tablespoon of honey (which I saw in another version). I flattened the cookies a bit with the bottom of a glass before baking. www.melskitchencafe.com/monster-cookies-gluten-free/A Lazy Egg-and-Cheese Sandwich – Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen, posted on the Cup of Jo blog. So easy & good for breakfast, lunch, or a “home alone” dinner. cupofjo.com/2012/02/the-best-egg-sandwich-youll-ever-have/Baked Tilapia Veracruz – BHG and this board. Very good flavors. GOOD Asiago Chicken Pasta w/Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Spinach - Mel's Kitchen Café E Cookbook. I love sun-dried tomatoes, so I enjoyed this. DH thought it was just OK. I can post if anyone wants the recipe. TRIED & TRUE Italian Sausage Soup – Cooking Light. Fast and yummy. I always cook the pasta separately (small macaroni, but any pasta will do.) And I use the "Hot" Italian Turkey Sausage, which gives it more flavor. If you use Mild sausage, I'd add pepper to the soup. www.myrecipes.com/recipe/italian-sausage-soup |

I love seeing everyone's lists  A light month for me, but if it at all interests you, try the banana/chocolate chip cake. It is just the perfect little sweet treat. And the new mom I took the cookies to asked for the recipe so she could make them herself so that is a recommendation! The title is misleading. They are cranberry-chocolate chip-pecan-oatmeal or cherry-chocolate chip-pecan-oatmeal cookies. Make Again 3/8 Oatmeal Cookies (ATK) Chewy, crispy. Excellent method. Reduced cran and choc to 3.75oz each. Could reduce even a bit more. 3/4 Chocolate Chip-Banana Snack Cake (BHG) Good everyday cake. Easy and tasty. 3/4 24-Hour Omelet with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mozzarella (Best Make-Ahead) Nice flavor combo, balanced. Bake a tad longer? Almost overflowed dish. Try other variations. OK 3/26 Good Morning Sunshine Bars (CulinaryintheDesert) Too sweet! But one of those things that you have to keep eating once you start. 3/25 Mississippi Mud Bars (Ghiradelli) Was worried I would have to scrap these and start over, but they were edible and decent. Such a pain I wouldn’t make them again, though most of that was probably baker's tiredness  |

3/4 Chocolate Chip-Banana Snack Cake (BHG) Good everyday cake. Easy and tasty.
Thanks for mentioning this cake. I love snack cakes, they're just the right size for us, and I seem to always have ripe bananas to use up.

Andrea,
Wow, what a list. So glad to see that you are feeling better and back in the kitchen doing what you enjoy!
Lots of great sounding recipes, I will start by looking up that Roasted Chickpea, Avocado and Feta salad. Impossible for me not to look up that one given the title.

Just make sure the chickpeas get crunchy. I didn't roast mine quite long enough, and they ended up a bit chewy. |

I made the snack cake again this week (used sour cream thinned with a bit of milk for the buttermilk). People cut polite pieces and then all went back for seconds And I forgot this recipe from March: Good 3/22 Salsa Verde Ranch Wings (homesicktexan) Good salsa verde ranch—cooked wings plain then tossed w/ ranch and baked 10 more minutes. Leftover sauce was good on tacos and might be good on its own as a salad dressing. |

Erin I had to get the Salsa Verde Ranch! I did a search on the recipe name and came up with hits! One is back to the Homesick page (I also found a link to a Mastercook version!!). I thought I'd share the main one in case others want it, too. I can never resist a good sauce. I think the sauces make all the difference in EVERYTHING! Love em. Gotta have em! Thanks! Here's your recipe, thanks! www.homesicktexan.com/2016/08/salsa-verde-ranch-wings.html |
