Food is the order of the day, these days.
- 27 Gluten-Free Recipe Substitutions | Greatist – This list included several subs I haven’t considered before. Onward!
- New Taste Journal – Lots of whole foods dish ideas.
- Walnut-Raisin Baked Apples – Love the idea of mixing a bit of orange marmalade into the filling.
- Cabbage and Raisin Slaw – I am always looking for good slaw recipes. We’re big cabbage eaters.
- Creamy Potato Salad – Very much like my friend’s a-may-zing potato salad recipe, which she printed out for me and I lost and am too embarrassed to re-request. I do remember that you’d want to double this recipe for a potluck-sized bowl. omit the dairy products. and add 1/2t of celery seed and a handful of chopped parsley.
- Spicy Parmesan Green Beans and Kale – I’m thinking this bad boy’s going to make an appearance at our Thanksgiving table: one pan as written for the dairy eaters, and maybe one pan, with sourdough breadcrumbs instead of parmesan, for the non-dairy folks?
- Orange Kissed Almond Cookies (Gluten and Dairy Free) – I always want to buy the almond paste when it goes on sale after the holidays, but I don’t have a good reason to…until now!
I also hunted down online versions of two old favorites (originally cut from magazines) since my recipe bookmarks are, effectively, the only cookbook I use. Luckily, the iPad screen is strong and highly washable.
- Brussels Sprouts with Pecans – This recipe introduced me the possibility of slicing and sautéing brussels sprouts, instead of just steaming them. The extra slicing gives them the loveliest frilly texture. It takes longer to prepare but is totally worth it when you have good fresh sprouts.
- Eggnog Mousse
A couple of health-related bookmarks for myself (shoulder) and others (OCD).
- Shoulder Impingement/Rotator Cuff Tendinitis – OrthoInfo – AAOS – I think this is the cause of the shoulder pain I get when running.
- If Your Child Refuses Treatment | Parenting Children with OCD
And from the Aspirational Crafts corner:
- Baby Cardigan Onesie Tutorial – I want to make some for our friends’ with the baby, but I’m having the damnedest time finding onesies that are cheap, long-sleeved, not pink, not zippered, and don’t have a giant applique across 3/4 of the front.
- Magic Cupboard | Helen Musselwhite – I want to make one of these and change it every season BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PROJECTS.
To whit: a picture of my dining room craftermath taken the weekend before Halloween, annotated with (most of) the visible projects and the “Percent Complete” indicated in parentheses.
Not labeled: salt shaker, because we used to eat here.
