If you have a bread machine, it is perfect for pizza dough, just set it to dough only cycle.

I made this oldie but goodie today. I am turning orange from all the orange foods I eat.

We made this (mostly - we're never exact) and also added mushrooms. REALLY good.

When I made the really delicious Smitten Kitchen spinach and egg recipe, I saw this recipe for Shakshuka:

http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2010/04/shakshuka/

I LOVE shakshuka. Ottolenghi has two different versions in 2 of his books and I was planning to make one, but Smitten Kitchen's is slightly more straightforward and had my DH's favorite combo of spices (paprika and coumin). The recipe was absolutely delicious.

I love it also. So good.

I've never heard of shakshuka, but the recipe is full of things I like and looks delicious!

Tonight I made this soup, but didn't puree it, as I was going for as simple a dish as possible.

We had this for dinner last night. I made it with spaghetti noodles and added a red pepper, a head of broccoli, two celery stalks, a lb of tofu, snap peas, and some edamame (I stirfried everything except the snap peas and red peppers, which I threw in raw). It was a big hit!

I used a lime instead of the vinegar and a jalapeno instead of the chiligarlic sauce.

Good! Quite thick though. I bet it's even nicer if you're not too lazy to puree it.

I am eating a salad right now that is amazing! It is romaine lettuce, roasted asparagus, salmon, farro, and blueberries. I tossed the asparagus with a bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sea salt and roasted it for about 10-15 minutes. I spread the salmon with a touch of dijon mustard and cooked it at the same time as the asparagus. The dressing is olive oil, balsamic, dijon, salt and pepper. It would be even better with strawberries instead of blueberries, but that's what's in my fridge. It would also be amazing with some goat cheese or feta. Yum!

That sounds delicious, Nadra!

Yummy, nadra! I'll have to give that combo a shot.

Coming to a dinner table near you!

I have made dosas before but they were ground rice, lentils and poha (flattened rice). They were delicious and worth the work. The recipe I used took awhile because you had to soak the rice and lentils and then let the batter ferment once you made the batter, but soooo tasty.

Do you still eat rice?

Not on a grain free diet.

Made the dosas tonight. Excellent! Will make again.

I think I am going to try to do pork chops with some kind of bourbon & apply and honey combination tomorrow night. And probably normal garlic butter on asparagus, although maybe I'll try something with tomatoes, goat cheese, and balsamic. Just because.

I made pan-fried Alaskan cod tonight. I've never made it before and would love your other cod preparation recipes because I kept it super simple.

DH and DD are so picky and even turn their noses up at salmon if I make it too often. They like tilapia (boring!). But DH went to TJ's while I was away and brought home a frozen package of the cod and told me how he wanted it (salt, pepper, lemon, pan-fried). He despises grocery shopping but this was a helpful exercise for him.

I am always impressed with the food you cook that you do not eat and I am assuming you do not taste. I find it very hard to do, and I am talking about things like barley, etc, not even meat.
