Just because I develop recipes doesn’t mean I don’t cook from other people’s recipes. I cook from recipes a lot. This is a photo of my typical recipe-following MO. I print it and clip it to the blinds of my kitchen so I can read it and spare it the worst of my usual spills and splatters. I follow a bunch of food blogs and recipe sites in my RSS reader (do you use one? you should subscribe to my feed–click the button in the top right of the screen) and earmark stuff I want to make in the future. Here’s a short list of stuff I added to that file this week.
Homemade Veggie Bouillon. I saw this brilliant idea at 101 Cookbooks by my fellow 10 Speed Press author, Heidi Swanson. (Her book, Super Natural Cooking, is a must have.) It’s the height of soup season, so this idea crossed my path at just the right time.
Speaking of soup, my co-author Tara created a chunky, hearty, and delicious looking pasta fagioli recipe for our Meat Lite column over at Serious Eats.
Marisa, over at Food in Jars, canned clementines and the pictures are so sweet and juicy I almost licked the screen. I once aspired to write a canning cookbook but, you know what? I think I’ll just follow Marisa’s instructions instead.
One of Dan and mine’s biggest arguments of late is about frying stuff. Everyone likes to eat fried stuff, but I’d rather fry at home, where I have all the control over ingredients, temperature, etc. Dan thinks it’s wasteful of energy to fry at home and that it should be left to food services establishments doing it in bulk. As the battle rages on, I am happy to have discovered Savor the Thyme’s post about baked onion rings, which should spare us an onion ring argument. I can’t wait to give these a try.
Just because ’tis isn’t the season anymore doesn’t mean I don’t want to eat these ginger-kissed chocolate speckled pumpkin muffins from The Occasional Cook. Thanks to Tina, I will almost certainly be eating pumpkin in February.

I have some of a can of pumpkin that needs to be used. This is a perfect chance for me to use it. Thanks for the muffin recipe. And I get to be a blessing to my office on Monday!
Joy – How do you organize your recipes that you’ve printed from a website or ripped from a magazine? Still looking for the most user-friendly method… I have most of my recipes in a binder, but am finding that it’s just easier to search the internet for what I’m looking for.
