new recipes and a new year's goal

To set the stage today: I'm sitting at my dining room table, listening to the down-home swinging tunes of A Prairie Home Companion and Lynn Rossetto Casper's soothing voice on The Splendid Table. A cup of Good Earth Tea in my favorite teacup, and cloudy skies predicting (hopefully) snow later today. My kitchen is finally clean, I'm home for an entire weekend and the week ahead, and I'm catching up on all things personal and work-related.

I'm not quite ready to tackle my inbox, which suffered terribly from a personal trip to Atlanta last weekend and a work trip to Kansas City this week. So instead, I'm going to tell you about a few of my favorite new recipes. Not a lot of pictures this post, because I wasn't so much in documentation mode when I was scarfing these down earlier in January. But you can find lots of beautiful photographs on Bon Appetit's website, since that's where they all came from.

For I, Miss Little Farmhouse, valiantly attempted to follow the Food Lover's Two-Week Cleanse a few weeks back. The first week was great; I mostly failed the second week; and my trip to Atlanta definitely threw a wrench in everything. But I discovered some great new staple recipes to add to my repertoire, so it was definitely worth it. For starters:

New Breakfast Favorites
Citrus Salad with Yogurt and Rosemary (add yogurt and agave nectar/honey to this recipe from day 4)

Snacks

In the Lunch Rotation

Weekend Dinners with Lunch Leftovers

Conveniently, this project also served one of my 2013 goals: to try 30 new recipes. In fact, I tried 12 new recipes in two weeks thanks to the menus and meal plans from BA. So I think I'll blow way past 30 this year! Regardless, I'll try to report back each month with the new recipes I've tried so you can join in the fun.
