Happy Monday! It's March (already!) and we are flipping through cookbooks and our bookmarks, planning out meals for the month. Are there are any new recipes that you would like to try this month? Tell us here, and let's see if we can help each other all try something new this month. We have to admit that this Salted Butter Tart is oh-so-seductively calling our name...
I personally am craving simple food: Poached chicken, fresh greens, and lots of ginger. I want to make a big batch of ricotta spaetzle and lots of crunchy late-winter salads. I also think that this crazy-decadent tart looks amazing:
• Salted Butter Tart from Jennifer McLagan's Fat. Recipe republished at Leite's Culinaria.
What about you? Do you have any recipe resolutions this month? What do you want to try?

I feel about that tart, the way a zombie feels for brains.
This is now my new top priority recipe (replacing home made ravioli as the most delicious thing worth trying). Thanks!
Gnocchi, before it gets too warm, and oxtail ragu. I'm dying to make oxtail ragu.
Oh my that tart looks amazing. This past week I tried a Milk Chocolate-Caramel Tart with Hazelnuts and Espresso and it was absolutely fantastic. The crust on this part was simple and one of the best I've made (<-- novice :P )!!!
This picture makes me want to make another tart.....immediately. I also just got "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and "The Joy of Cooking" and I fully anticipate making something tomorrow out of one of them.
(here's the link to the recipe)
Kitalita - Batali's gnocchi with oxtail ragu is delicious! http://recipe.aol.com/recipe/gnocchi-with-oxtails/75450
I'm looking forward to trying some granola bars that I saw posted on Smitten Kitchen, Some Spicy African Yam Soup, AND this year, I'm finally going to make Guinness and Bailey's Cupcakes for St. Patricks Day. Yum =D

I kinda got soup-ed out over the holidays...but now I'm remembering that spring is soon, and I sure won't feel like making soup when it's light and crisp outside! So some soups for sure. I really need to work on using what I have in the house instead of buying more stuff. So I'll have to get creative!
That tart looks amazing.
New recipes I plan to try in March:
1. Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting from the Barefoot Contessa at Home Cookbook
2. Lentil and Sausage Soup from Bon Appetit a couple months back
3. Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf and Onion, Potato and Bacon Tart from Mark Peel's New Classic Family Dinners
4. Short Ribs from Chez Panisse Cookbook or Sunday Suppers at Lucques Cookbook
5. Asparagus is looking pretty amazing at the farmer's market so probably a simple pasta or risotto
6. Something from Mastering the Fine Art of French Cooking (gougeres?) to serve at a book club meeting discussing Julia Child's My Life in France.
7. Smitten Kitchen's Chana Masala recipe or something from the Curried Favors Cookbook--I really want to try more indian cooking
8. Singapore Noodles in Lettuce Leaves from Nina Simonds Asian Wraps Cookbook
TRES LECHES CAKE!!!!!!!!!!
Mastering the Art of French Cooking seems to be a theme! I've been wanting to tackle Boeuf Bourguignon before warm weather arrives.
Also, I'm wanting to make the Tomato Braised Cauliflower from Steamy Kitchen and one of the Indian recipes posted here the other day in the article called Cumin and Coriander! Indian food is uncharted water for me!
Short ribs from Bon Appetit are on my to-make list for this week. So excited!
Wow, that tart looks BEYOND. I gotta try that. Rachel, I also saw those granola bars on SK, and I've been wanting to make some of my own since my kids eat so many.
Other recipes:
Ginger Beer-Battered Stuffed Tofu from The Modern Vegetarian
Super Strengthening Stew from Clean Food
lots more bread from Healthy Bread in 5 Min a Day, especially Indian Spiced Whole Grain Doughnuts

Lately I've been experimenting with pancakes. I quit eating them all together for about a year because the flour/sugar combination was just not very satisfying. At the moment I'm trying out recipes with cottage cheese or ricotta -- the heavy texture is much more satisfying than your regular fluffy pancake, and you get a protein boost too. Delicious with real maple syrup and berries on top!
We're also into gnocchi with homemade sauce. And I've been dying to try that blood orange tart for months now. Maybe spring break will be the time.
Oy vey my list never ends!!
On Wednesday I think I am going to make some almond crusted salmon, and I also really want to try eggplant parmigian. I just got a bundt cake pan so I think my coworkers are going to be treated with something tasty!!

I have a never-ending list but I want to make fresh sardines roasted in vine leaves, gluten-free nut butter cookies, and sambal ulek so I can have some without migraine-inducing preservatives.
make this: http://cookteen.blogspot.com/2010/01/chocolate-covered-pretzels-to-extreme.html
higly recommended! I was outrageous and I am not a huge fan of chocolate! Sure to satisfy any craving!!
with love and cupcakes,

My honey's doing a 200k bike ride on Saturday, so Friday is pasta! I think the vegetable lasagna from Cook's Illustrated's "Cover and Bake" book, maybe with some garlic break to up the carbs a bit more. Later in the month I want to try some of the Indian recipes posted on AT the other day.
I need to find some sort of fabulous chocolatey pie for Pi Day (and I hope AT will be celebrating it as well!), but I'm hoping to find something a bit less decadent than the one posted here. :)
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Tonight I made 'vitello tonnato' for the first time in my life and I'm quite satisfied (next time less vinegar and a better wine...). I *need* to prepare something with pears (caramelized pears with wine?) and I want to try a classic cheese souffle'... and that's just the top of the list.
Chocolate Babka (I was going to start some tonight but I am way short of chocolate), Whole wheat no-knead bread, braised short ribs, MORE BREAD.
a quick bread from The Joy of Vegan Baking
Udon noodle soup
Dal
Something with the baby eggplants I just bought.
Recipes I want to try out this month are:
1) Spinach pie
2) Gnocchi
3) Oven roasted chickpeas
4) Your new french onion recipe!
Oh my, am I really the first one to comment? Well well, then, my plans for this month include:
- lots of homemade pasta - cacao pasta with gorgonzola sauce, ravioli with salmon filling served with citrus sauce, wholewheat strozzapreti....
- Risotto with artichokes
- The delicious-looking lemon-yeast folded cake published on this site some time ago
- The lemon-yogurt thyme-ginger cake I've just spotted in one of the previous posts
Surely sth more will pop up during the month - I'm really excited about the spring and all the fresh veggies coming!
More slow cooker recipes (we just got one). More baking - there hasn't been enough of that recently! I want to try making bread too.
I definitely want to make Momofuku's Compost Cookies!
Oh boy I have to try that tart! That looks sumptuous.
I've been up to my ears in homemade bread - I just woke up my sourdough starter so I'm going to try to make some proper sourdough bread this weekend. I'm also thinking about doing stromboli with homemade dough. And cupcakes for my grandmother this weekend.
