Wheatberry salad. Deciding between chicken marbella or coconut chicken & rice & chana masala. Cake. And must bake soft pretzels and make mustard (shakes fist at Alton Brown).

I made the French onion soup, Cauliflower and Potato curry (with some green peppers and broccoli thrown in), Sausage Vodka Pasta sauce, Irish Soda bread, and of course bought stuff for a salad. Oh and making crepes for Sunday breakfast

Yai for relaxing and not having to cook over the weekend ^_^

I'll tell you what's cookin this weekend - those lemon sticky rolls!! I haven't stopped thinking about them since I saw them here a few days ago and man am I excited to try them out.

There will also be some macarons made as well - tomorrow is macaron day after all :)

I'm thinking angel food cake cupcakes, sweet potato fries, and Mark Bittman's cold fat method French fries....

In celebration of the beginning of spring, I'm going to have a fancy British-style old-fashioned tea...with all gluten free treats. I'm planning on making some scones (with jam and clotted cream of course), some little sandwiches, and a pretty lemon cake. Or maybe even some petits-fours if I decide to get really fancy!

Those lemon cream cheese sticky rolls look absolutely *amazing*, by the way. (Love lemon, especially for early spring - it makes me think of daffodils and other cheery yellow things!) I need to attempt to make a gluten-free version of the dough sometime soon...not easy, but from the looks of those pictures, well worth trying for!!

Those lemon sticky rolls. Oh. my. goodness.

I'm also making a shaker lemon pie for a friend to bring to a dinner party he's attending.

(I have a surplus of gifted meyer lemons to eat through).

I am making several things this weekend :

1. Chocolate lava cakes
2. Cake balls
3. Shrimp salsa
4. Three undecided flavors of Macarons

Those are just the things I will definitely be making. I would like to add Thai Iced Tea to the list!!

operation shortbread cookie!! whipped matcha almond shortbread and classic shortbread half dipped in semisweet chocolate goodness! sending treats to my friends in the midwest :D !!!

I'm loading up on asparagus from the farmer's market while it's in season, probably for a simple pasta dish this week (or else a repeat of the Asparagus Risotto from the Vegetarian Italian Cookbook).

Corn Muffins from the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook

@Slow Loris....I saw that Good Eats last night too....le sigh...

I picked up the last corned beef at the market on thursday. My husband was in the hospital on Wed, so i didn't get to partake in corned beef for st patrick's day. so tomorrow it's going in a pot with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.

we also still have leftover bean soup from yesterday, so i think that will last us through the weekend.

Tonight: duck nabe. Tomorrow: I'm hosting a hanami picnic, so I'm making handmade tuna maki and takoyaki.

It's so warm out that I'm considering making my first pitcher of sweet tea of 2010.

Potato soup with pepperjack cheese, pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms, ganache for pistachio macarons, and pistachio semi-freddo. Yay!

We're going to have some relaxing, sunny afternoon brunches with some of my new favorite breakfast recipes, tartiflette toast and french toast with almonds and french toast!

I'll be eating fish tacos in sunny Mexico this weekend! And whatever else looks fresh and delicious for the rest of the week.

not jumping on the macaron bandwagon, as I can get great fresh Luxemburgerli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxemburgerli) just down the road :-)

I'm going to be working from my borrowed copy of the Barefoot Contessa cookbook. Specifics TBD!

I'm visiting family and staying at a hotel, so I'm not cookin' nothing. But I sure am enjoying eating like I was on vacation. Tomorrow biscuits & sausage gravy or country ham?? (I'm down south)

Today I'm baking a glazed lemon pound cake for an afternoon tea / swishing party. Tomorrow, chili con carne with cornbread on the side. :)

coconut muffins, coconut red lentil soup form 100 cookbooks and chickpea salad sandwiches.

I'm making Irish Car bomb cupcakes from Serious Eats for a belated St. Paddy's-themed get-together tonight at a friend's..

Tomorrow I'm going to make chicken and dumplings. It's not very spring-ish of me, but my boyfriend doesn't like it and he'll be out of town.

I'm baking the Southern Coconut cake from Sky High for my brother's birthday tonight.

Affogato! It's 68 degrees in Boston today, and damnit, that calls for some espresso and gelato and outdoor picnic time. Will not be caught in the kitchen when it's so beautiful outside! If only there was a farmer's market, though. That would be the best of both worlds. I miss California.

Dark chocolate whiskey cake and passionfruit pavlova!

I'm at work today but hoping to take tomorrow off.
Possible cooking plans (based on recent trip to Costco): dinner may be salmon with asparagus and mushroom soup; For lunches for the week a quiche or two. Also debating one of those lemony chickpea salads or a brown rice salad with shallot vinaigrette.

I'm really excited to spend some time cooking tomorrow and then some time outside!

I woke up early and made the sticky lemon rolls for brunch today. What a hit! Thanks for the recipe.

Help. Recently one of the more photogenic food blogs had a recipe for cinnamon style, sweet carrot rolls. Finely grated carrots were kneaded into the dough and, I believe, rolled with cream cheese filling. They looked amazingly tempting but I'm stumped for the recipe or site. They look very similar to the lemon glazed swirls pictured above. Does anyone remember seeing this blog?

I thought I'd share this absolutely delicious recipe with you, seeing that you don't take the culinary arts for granted: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=TW02DN4QHSG1&preview=article&linkid=f062fe49-3826-4eac-a937-7a83115c6ed3&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d

Happy cooking.

Gourmet or not, I found it to be a perfect treat.

Aw, man. We have no food in the house since we've been gone a week, and it's snowing pretty nicely. (Weird weather!) Looks like a weekend for digging into the pantry and freezer. Oh, and polishing off the remains of our box of Laudree macarons we brought back from Paris. :)

I think we all may be eating spam based on the sheer number of non-legitimate posts that have been appearing on this site recently.

I've been obsessed with the "How to Make Bread" recipe that was posted during Home Hacks month ever since I first made it. Just finished another loaf, this time with part whole-wheat flour. Hubby is gone all day tomorrow, so I probably won't do anything too exciting, though I'm dying to try the lemon sticky rolls. I've also long wondered what would happen if I replaced the cinnamon in my regular cinnamon roll recipe with cocoa powder, so I could try that instead.

Pasta Primavera for the first day of Spring!

heading to a potluck tomorrow and I'm bringing a savory bread pudding, rosemary cashews and pistachio brittle.

I'm still deciding what to do with the couple of pounds of asparagus I picked up this morning, though I'm pretty sure a fritatta will be on the menu for tonight. I'm also making a batch of 17 bean and spinach soup for my lunches this week. It's not very spring-y, but it'll be tasty and hearty enough to get me through the long work days.
