Cooking Wish List

So I haven’t had the time to sew.  I did buy some embroidery tools, but my ideas are still brewing about where to dive in (and I’m still filling my sketchbook).  But I have been cooking.  Experimenting.  Reading tons of food blogs.

I bought a fabulous bunch of kale from the farmers market and made kale crisps from The Cleaner Plate Club.  It was absolutely wonderful, what we didn’t eat that afternoon, I put into a gluten free quiche.  It was not my most successful quiche. I made a rice flour crust and cooked the heck out of it.  Plus I added sugar and probably shouldn’t have for a quiche.  So more experimenting.  If anyone has a fabulous gluten free pastry shell recipe, please send it my way.

I have been bookmarking food recipes like mad.  Here are a few that I am dying to make:

Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa from 101 Cookbooks (Her cookbooks are on my wishlist in case anybody is interested in that sort of thing.)

Bourbon Peach Handpies from SmittenKitchen.  I made something similar with the kids, using some apples and they were great, but this recipe sounds YUMMY!  PS – this is totally fun to make with kids.  They make the cutest pies!  I didn’t take pics, I was too involved with the little hands and pie fixins, but they are a HUGE hit and a great way to involve kiddies in the kitchen.

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas from Kalyn’s Kitchen.  I don’t see these lasting too long at our house.

Grandma’s Grain Recipe from 101 Cookbooks.  When I introduced food to Iz I started with the Cereal recipe from Super Baby Food, and it was such a great cereal, I might try it again as well, but the book is in a box in storage!!!.  This recipe is perfect, just the way I like to cook, a handful of this, a handful of that.  It looks so yummy.

Herbed Summer Squash and Tomato Torte from SmittenKitchen.  I made something like this a few weeks ago, and I wasn’t as careful as I should have been preparing everything, so it didn’t turn out how I thought it would, but it was still delish.  I want to try again after another visit to the farmers market.

Summer Vegetable Pancakes with Basil Chive Cream from Eggs on Sunday.  I love veggie pancakes.  Comfort food, and perfect after a trip to, you know, the farmers market.

Quinoa and MushroomStuffed Zucchini from The Kitchn.  I love to try new things, and I have not yet toasted quinoa, I think Iz would love to eat this.

Enchilada Lasagne from Happy Herbivore.  I’ve been looking at a bunch of recipes for this and like this because of the no cheese factor (although I love cheese, I really want to cut back on the dairy at our house).  I love the ideas of layering food for cooking, especially when we have leftovers for lunch!

Cheddar Corn Spoon Bread from Cafe Johnsonia.  I love corn bread and this looks so warm and yummy.

What are you making?  If you have a fave dish or recipe, I’d love to try it!
