I’m a huge fan of Joanna Goddard’s blog A Cup of Jo, and her new Wednesday “slam-dunk” recipe series has me bookmarking recipes to make ASAP. I’ve already whipped up this perfect little cheesy egg sandwich, and I need this perfectly easy chocolate ice cream. Like immediately.

Fresh and simple saffron pappardelle with spiced butter sounds delightful. Fat noodles with butter and other goodies. How could it possibly be anything but good?

Gin, elderflower, champagne, and Lady Sybil. If I had a bell to ding for service, I’d have one of these cocktails in my hand right now.

Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I’ve decided it’s the perfect opportunity to get cozy with my two dearests and eat food worthy of a love note. Dear Carnitas, te amo. And Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies, you look pretty in red. XO

What’s not to love about crispy, sweet, fatty chicken skin? Oy vey. Chicken skin nachos. Yes, please.

And while we’re loving all things fatty and salty, having some DIY bacon salt on hand sounds like a plan. Over a runny yolk, on some buttery popcorn, or kissing the tops of some juicy red tomato slices…

Speaking of a match made in heaven, chocolate + peanut butter. There are few sweet combinations that tempt me more. I’m thinking of experimenting with a good fudge brownie recipe for the cookie and smearing this peanut butter frosting in between. Hmmmm…perhaps “whoopie” pies are more Valentine’s Day appropriate than red brownies. Happy love day!

I’ve realized recently that I’m a big fan of onions, even raw ones have their place. So when I saw that my friend Sara posted a recipe for pickled onions – they make a great gift – I knew I had to share.

Custard + cornbread = Me deliriously happy.

On Coronation Street, I’ve heard them talk about Eccles cakes, but I’ve never actually seen or tried one. Maybe I should just make a batch?

Melissa Clark is one of my favourite food writers, and her recent focus on Sunday soups is so perfect for this time of year. With this recipe, she had me at parsnips.

If you’re not making a soup on Sunday, I think a rich and slow-cooked Bolognese should be at the top of your to-do list.

Lavender honey roasted chicken sounds like a good reason to crank up the oven and heat up the kitchen in chilly January.

When you take starchy potato pillows and then bathe them in cream and stinky cheese, it’s a good thing. Gnocchi gratin with gorgonzola.

I can hardly fathom how tasty these ricotta cakes with honey butter would be if made with DIY ricotta. Worth waking up for on a blustery winter day.

Never in my life have heard of a sweet coconut covered cake treat called a lamington, but I sure want to eat one.

And I think some earl grey hot chocolate would get along quite nicely with my new friend, Mr. Lamington.

Happy new year! We hope your holidays were full of edible indulgences and that the turn to 2012 and everyone else’s diet resolution talk doesn’t mean you’ve sworn off butter completely. The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out.

Cooking blogs have been awash with edible cookie dough recipes that are turned into things such as truffles (no eggs make them safe to eat). Using the dough as a base for a bar covered in pretzels and sitting atop a brown butter crust sounds like the leader of the pack to me.

But if you are trying to be a bit more mindful of your calories this new year, a look to Southeast Asia can help you add a lot of flavour without adding anything heavy. This Vietnamese-inspired shrimp and quinoa salad is sure to make your doctor proud of you.

And while burgers aren’t diet food, nixing cheese, substituting turkey and again, looking to Asia for bold flavours makes these ones very appealing. Plus, the jacked-up mayo will do a fine job of helping you forget the absence of a fat slice of cheddar.

Savoury scones should be a welcome addition to any brunch table, but take a particular look at this recipe, which includes Melissa Clark’s method for quick caramelized onions.

But if you have sworn off butter, this spicy lemon date spread may come in handy if you’ve got some bread (and cheese…).

It’s Christmas! For this week’s Clippings, we look back at our holiday baking adventures.

If traditional is your modus operandi, you can’t go wrong with the Christmas pudding that’s been passed down in Sugar’s family or Cream’s classic whipped shortbread.

Unconventional? Coconut barfi/burfi have nothing to do with Christmas, but that doesn’t stop them from looking like perfect little snowballs. And you might score points with the in-laws when you present them with some lemon-sage shortbread.

Is Hanukkah more your thing? Rugelach are a pain to make, but are so so worth it.

If you’d like to cut some corners given that Christmas Eve is only two sleeps away, buy some puff pastry and go to town with these palmiers.

Salty honey pie. You had me at salt.

More salty-sweet goodness: chocolate chip bars with a pretzel crust.

When I think of wild rice, I think of casseroles with mushy broccoli that seemed to be on everyone’s table years ago. Bad broccoli memories aside, this casserole brings on waves of nostalgia and seems perfect for a cold winter’s night.

I always thought those miniature pasta shapes were for soup only. Turns out you can make the ultimate bowl of comfort pasta with them as well.

The food of Andrew Carmellini’s that I tried at The Dutch in NYC was pretty outstanding. Thus, I’m sure these biscuits with honey butter are indeed some of the best you’ll ever try.

The pumpkin love continues, this time in the form of an Italian savoury pumpkin pie.

These crunchy roasted chickpeas look like a snack that could do a pretty quick disappearing act.

Savoury oatmeal. A perfect excuse to have breakfast for dinner.

Carnitas. Pure meat love on a corn tortilla.

This time of year, the perfect pie dough recipe sounds like a pretty good idea.

And last but not least, I can hardly resist a list of ready in a flash dinner ideas. Beans and toast, anyone?

Happy American Thanksgiving!  Means even MORE pumpkin… biscuits, savoury scones, a chiffon pie, and what looks to be a clear winner: baked pumpkin puddings.

Citrus isn’t my favourite, but something about this lemon vanilla cake makes me want it. Right now.

Raisins aren’t my favourite either, but I can only imagine how great these toasted raisin biscuits smell when they’re in the pan.

These little fig-anise swirls are listed as fall cookies, but I think they should grace every Christmas cookie plate.

Dan Dan noodles can be found at an array of restaurants here in Vancouver, from your traditional Chinese place to hip Japanese izakayas. Enjoying them as I do, I was happy to see my friend Sara shared her recipe.

Rise and shine to perfect scrambled eggs. They are simple, but so easy to massacre. Five tips to egg perfection.

Tomato soup, melted cheese, and bread. The perfect trio, together in a cup.

This rigatoni, kale and ricotta pasta looks like a most delicious excuse to whip up another batch of DIY ricotta.

And in the spirit of the season, some pumpkin and brown sugar crème brûlée sounds pretty nice.

This “not so secret” recipe from Jacque Torres is on my to-do list.
