Good for a light summer lunch

Use it for orzo salad

Healthy, tasty, and easy. Lots of versions around the Internet, but this one is mine

Very good general purpose cream cheese frosting

Moist, buttery and good

Easy, rich chocolate frosting

Takes a while but super delicious. Good if you have a lot of onions to use up.

A classic. Hard to beat. Makes enough for about 2 - 2.5 pounds of pasta

Quite easy to make, but long. Very tasty, but not my favourite.

Pretty tasty pound cake, not purely traditional. Extract in the glaze tastes fine, though it gives it a brown tinge.

Adapted from Not Another Cooking and made vegetarian. Similar to Pasta e Fagioli, but made with dried lentils and creamier because cheese is mixed in,

Extremely rich Millionaire Shortbread recipe (like a homemade Twix bar). Usually a crowd pleaser, but maybe a bit too much caramel. I should try this with half the caramel, for a thinner layer.

I find this curry a bit too soupy, and I actually like the version from Yeung Man Cooking a bit better. On the other hand, this one is simpler and involves less chopping, so there's that. And it's still really tasty. I like it better without the nut butter.

Pretty tasty one pot chickpea curry, though I find the crunchy spices a bit weird

Grenadine syrup made with actual pomegranate juice, as it was done in the old days. Use it in cocktails or in soft drinks

Good way to use up a bunch of chard I sometimes get in my grocery basket. Basically a baked omelette. Good with a salad.

Easy and tasty. This is quickly becoming a staple dish.

This is another decent key lime bar recipe, that's a bit simpler and more tangy than the Little Spice Jar version, with a slightly thinner base.

This is my preferred key lime bar recipe.

Tasty enough, but I wouldn't call this my favourite

Hard to resist this one, and a delicious way to use up a some apples

These take a bit long, but they are a nice change from your standard roast or mashed potatoes

This is my favourite lentil soup. Healthy, easy, quick, delicious.

This one comes from my friend Jennifer.

This is one of my favourite cakes, partly because it's so deceptively simple. Good with Lemon curd. Even better the next day
