have i shared this yet? my new favorite food/recipe blog:

http://www.101cookbooks.com

the recipes are mostly if not entirely veggie, and the site layout is just so aesthetically pleasing, with stunningly beautiful photography. if the food wasn’t so darn healthy i’d call it full-blown foodPorn. but i think to really qualify as foodPorn the recipes need to feature unrestrained quantities of things like cream, bacon, cheese, butter, refined sugar and white flour. right? okay, i’m still working on this theory.

anyway, blessed with a embarrassment of zucchini from my CSA, i turned to 101 cookbooks for help and in the past two days have made zucchini bread laced with candied ginger and curry powder and quinoa and roasted zucchini salad with goat cheese and pine nuts. both were awesome. i am a new convert to the cause that is quinoa. who knew you could make it in the rice cooker in under 15 minutes? and it’s so full of protein (for a grain, that is) and amino acids that it qualifies as a superFood. if i could figure out how to make something snazzy with quinoa and broccoli, i’d be unstoppable.
