Cheese is sort of perfect the way it is. There are endless possibilities, yes, but in its straight-from-the-farmer's-market block -- it's pretty fabulous. So we get why Smitten Kitchen was, at first, hesitant to mess with cheese like this recipe requires. We're glad she went for it though because the idea of warm breaded cheese oozing over fresh spring greens makes us happy. While it may seem like overkill to bread and fry cheese (other than a mozzarella stick at TGI Fridays), this dish is actually quite common in France - specifically in the Loire Valley where goat cheese is king. Plus if the French are doing it, so can oui.

Well, right off the bat we're doing our classy Sophistimom a disservice; the soup is called Savory Pea Soup with Asparagus and Basil. A taste-conscious chef as herself would never simply make "Pea Soup"! While winter & soup are known bed fellows, it's also nice to lighten up -- pre-summer -- with a tasty soup of pureed spring veggies and a nice hunk of bread from the market. Jaime, aka Sophistimom, delivers a lovely and fragrant soup for your home team to savor on a lighter night of the week. We vote for a Monday night soup course since, let's face it, we don't exactly shy away from the decadent on the weekends.

It's nice to change things up on the ol' dinner rotation. Chicken, beef, pasta, and the occasional takeout order come and go but the mighty egg is a nice cameo to bring onto the supper-scene. This is a great intro-to-Indian dish as well, given that you don't need to invest in a ton of spices to pull this off. Add in the short cook time and it's an all around low-risk high-yield venture to spice up a week night!  Try out Hooked on Heat's Fried Egg Sambal recipe out let us know what you think of the mighty egg -- aka your new main squeeze.

When Olga from Sassy Radish spends four years perfecting a cake, you can bet your derriere that we're going to be anxiously peering over her shoulder (Boo!). How her dream about chocolate cake landed us with a citrus-y vanilla cake, we're not sure. Then again, don't look a gift horse in the mouth right? After many trials and tweaks (based off of a Paul Deen recipe), Sassy Radish has put forth a perfect layer cake oozing with tart citrus curd and topped with fluffy buttercream.  And to show just how fun she is, she tops it with some rainbow sprinkles.

We think this fresh recipe for stuffed peppers is a real winner. How could it not be? You have your veggies, some rice, some cheese, and ONE pan to boot. So many fresh ingredients, coincidentally gluten free (don't quote us on that, but based on the ingredients - we don't see any). The peppers are beautifully photographed by Jane from This Week for Dinner, although one wonders how she kept hungry mouths away while she shot them!

Since most of us don't have a clay oven in our kitchens, we may need a little help creating those deliciously spiced tandoori dishes we enjoy at authentic Indian eateries. Luckily we have RasaMalaysia to help guide the way. We can broil - or BBQ - our way to this spicy goodness  right in the comfort of our own (now Tandoori-smelling) homes! The secret is in the marinade of spices mixed with a thick yogurt paste to keep it on the chicken, even while cooking. Read the full recipe for a tender Tandoori Chicken.
