Crispy Edamame Fritters

I got this recipe from Pure Wow. I figured little S would like them since she likes edamame. She wouldn't take a bite, but I thought they are very good. Next time I'll make some sort of dipping sauce to go on top.

Cauliflower Pizza

I heard about cauliflower pizza a few times and decided to try it. I used this recipe. I did not use their toppings because I didn't have them so I used pizza sauce and cheddar cheese. Stella had one bite, Steve had one bite, and I ate the rest. It doesn't pass for pizza, but it was still good and somewhat healthy. I didn't feel stuffed like I often do after eating regular pizza.

Roasted Cauliflower à la Mary Celeste

I have been eating a lot of roasted cauliflower. It's easy, healthy, and delicious. As soon as I saw this recipe on Chocolate and Zucchini I tried it and I honestly think that it is one of the best things I will eat in 2014. It's so good that I feel confident saying that in January.

Miso-Tofu Ranch Dip

This recipe looked exotic to me (Momofuku), and it turned out to be great! We ate it on a salad one night, then dipped vegetables in it for days, until it disappeared. Next time I might try to substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt, for obvious reasons :)

An Ideal Lunch Salad Recipe

I made this salad, from 101 Cookbooks, when I was home for Thanksgiving. I was concerned a bit about the dressing not being suitable for everyone, but I was wrong: Even Granny ate it! I think sunflower seeds could be a good alternative for pepitas, and I recommend you use high quality olives.

I do not have a photo, so I am using Heidi's:

Roast Salmon and Broccoli with Chile-Caper Vinaigrette

This recipe, from Bon Appetit was fast and delicious. Very simple but great flavors. My only regret was not making more!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I almost always think there is too much sugar in a recipe. When I read this recipe and I saw it called for a cup of sugar, I thought that was too much. Then I kept reading and saw it actually calls for two cups of sugar. I almost couldn't believe it. I searched the comments because I was sure it was a typo and people would have pointed it out. There was nothing in the comments. I decided to make the cookies with one cup of brown sugar and that was plenty. Plenty, plenty, plenty. These are very good and I can't imagine how sweet they would be with another cup of sugar. It would be completely unnecessary. There is a lot of butter and the cookies are pretty flimsy, but they are disappearing quickly. Here's the recipe.
