I am in love with two blogs.

Everybodylikessandwiches is my homie. She makes healthy, interesting food, I love her creativity and her writing, and I am completely convinced she'd fit right in to our group of friends. So much so, that I kind of fully expect this to happen one day.

Smittenkitchen is my interwebs mentor. Her enthusiastic commentary makes me believe in myself in the kitchen, and as a result, try things like baking bread and roasting whole chickens.

Whose food do you love?

I love Annie's Eats. She makes me feel confident about baking bread.

Well, I haven't been doing much cooking in the last 6 months, but if you would have asked me a year ago, I would have said Simply Recipes, because I was making a lot of her recipes and they always came out great.

Culinary in the Desert is my go-to blog for sweets, and his entrees and sides always seem approachable and relatively easy to pull off.

Smitten Kitchen is definitely one of my favorites.

I have recently discovered a couple of new blogs (new to me at least) that look like they could become favorites:
The Kitchn (thekitchn.com)
The Wednesday Chef (thewednesdaychef.com)
Smells Like Home (smellslikehome.wordpress.com)
Joy the Baker (joythebaker.com)
Feelgood Eats (feelgoodeats.com)

Yay. I love food blogs too... you guys have already named all the ones I read with any regularity except for Mark Bittman's NYT column:

I also just signed up for smitten kitchen's Twitter feed, which is funny. All of you should join me and Shannon on Twitter!

Lol. Gwen, those cookies sound just like (but less "healthy") your famous yogurt fudge cookies. :)

I forgot to add ellysaysopa.com

Haven't made anything from there yet, but hope to soon. I've never been a stuffed pepper fan, but her stuffed poblanos look yummy.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
