I get a lot of recipes from Heidi Swanson’s site, www.101cookbooks.com. It’s my primary go-to site for new recipes… particularly when I want to experiment with a new ingredient that I haven’t cooked with before. Most of her recipes are pretty basic, with ingredients that are relatively easy to find provided you find yourself at Whole Foods every now and then.
A couple of my favorites…
- Brown butter balsamic sauce (for pasta)
- Wheat Berry Salad (from her book, Super Natural Cooking)
- Caramelized Onion Dip (finally – an onion dip that omits the Lipton soup packet!)
Earlier this week, she posted a recipe for a New Year’s Noodle Soup that looked fantastic. I guess it’s technically not her recipe (she adapted it from a recipe in Saraban, by Greg & Lucy Malouf)… but I’ll give her credit for it since she’s the one who brought it to my attention. I attempted to recreate this tonight while also cleaning out my refrigerator and avoiding a trip to the grocery store – what I ended up with was a pretty good soup that was loosely based on this recipe that I definitely want to make again.
(Mom – this one’s not for you… you’ll see why when you check out the ingredients.)
