I've been cooking a lot lately, some weeks trying out multiple new recipes. To remind myself, I'm just going to start listing them here...

To start a few things:

Grilled Lamb and Fig Skewers with Mint-Pepper Glaze- outrageous!

Fresh Corn Pancakes- best breakfast for dinner with bacon of course!

Chilled Zucchini Soup with Lemon-Cumin Shrimp and Cilantro Cream- this is just lovely, be sure to add a little shrimp marinade into the soup as well.

Lemon Cornmeal Cake with Lemon Glaze and Crushed-Blueberry Sauce- blueberry sauce is quite nice, and the cornmeal gives the cake such a lovely texture. A delicious breakfast!

Carrot Cupcakes with Orange Icing- I didn't make the icing, but I loved the denseness of these cupcakes, they traveled well on our fishing/ camping trip and I frosted them with the lemon cream from the cookies below.

Ginger-Spice Sandwich Cookies with Lemon Cream- yum. A spice sandwich cookie with lemon cream cheese icing inside. What's not to love? These also traveled well, and softened up nicely.

Brined Grilled Chicken Breasts with Red Chile Oil- simple and lovely

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chili Dressing- amazing, so much more than it's parts. I served for a weeknight dinner party and it was such a hit. Next night I warmed it and had it on a taco salad.
