I just sent out an email to my friends and family asking them for their favorite recipes. Since I have recently turned 30, I’m getting this weird urge to collect recipes. Partly I want to get as many of my family recipes as I can. Partly, I want as many good recipes as I can find anywhere (Polish or non). So, if you have any good recipes, post away! Thanks. I’m not the best cook in the world, and I’d like to learn to be better, but I do love hosting little get-togethers. So if you send me a really good recipe, maybe I’ll invite you to my bake-off. Tee-hee.

My take on a McGriddle. So good….

I am personally very fond of making myself bacon egg and cheese sandwiches (turkey bacon, egg white only is heathier). Never tried the McGriddle. I am still hoping that Burgar king re-introduces their grilled sourdough sandwich.

While surfing Steve’s site, I came across an on-line version of a recipe that I’ve been making for a while. He’s right. They’re quite good.

Acutally, speaking of recipes, i just procured a nice Salad (yes Sujal, GASP a salad recipe) that my coworker made for lunch one day. It was super tasty, and pretty simple, might have to change my mind about salad eating after all!!!:
Watercress with Pears and macadamia Nuts (she used Arugala, and I would bet baby spinach goes well too)
1 tablespoon minched Shallot
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
3 tablespoons pear or white wine vinegar
1/4 cup plus 2 tblspoons macadamia nut oil (or veg oil mixes with 2 tbls walnut or hazelnut oil)
Salt and Fresh Ground pepper
3 large bunches of watercress (thich stems discarded) 16 loose cups
2 ripe anjou pears (or green apples?)
3 ounces Parmesean cheese, thinly shaved
1/2 cup coursely chopped salted macadamia nuts
In bowl, wisk shallot, mustard, and vinegar. Slowly wisk in nut oil and season with salt and pepper. Add watercress, season with salt and pepper, toss. Add pears, Parmesan and macadamia nuts. Toss gently.

You know, for someone who does as little cooking as I do, I sure pay a lot of attention to recipes… Plastic has this thread. And one of these days I might transcribe the recipes I got from my cooking class…
