Evereyday Food Magazine - April 2009

April's issue contained tons of recipes I want to try and sadly I barely made any before May's issue arrived. (Partly due to the fact that my April issue got lost in the mail and was almost 2 weeks late and partly b/c I've been busy!) None-the-less -- here's my recap:

Recipes I made:

• Pan Seared Pork with Potatos and Lemon: It was ooooook. Probably lacked flavor since I couldn't be bothered to buy and store the scallions and cilantro the recipe called for. My loss. Someone else try it and let me know what you think!
• Asparagus with Creamy Mustard Sauce: I already declared this to be a surprising success.
• Asparagus, Leek, and Gruyere Quiche: Also a success.
• Mediterranean Salad with Green Beans and Feta: Only make if you like raw red onions, which I don't.

The "In-Season" food of the month was Asparagus, so there were several recipes using asparagus. Here are the ones I didn't manage to try:

• Asparagus with Yogurt Dip
• Steamed Asparagus with Warm Goat Cheese
• Spaghetti with Shaved Asparagus
• Asparagus & Cucumber Vinaigrette

Among the "5 Great Meals for Under $10" I flagged, but didn't get around to making:

• Spaghetti with Shrimp & Bacon
• Broccoli, Tomato, & Mozzarella Stromboli

They had a section on "Unbeatable Egg Suppers" which I'm all about since I've always loved eggs for dinner! I flagged the whole section but never made any of them:

• Spanish Tortilla with Bell Pepper
• Baked Eggs in Tomato-Parmesan Sauce
• Ham-and-Egg Fried Rice
• Family Style Rolled Omelet with Spinach & Cheddar

They also had a section on making cookies that you normally buy in the store. Here are the one's I flagged to try:

• Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
• Pecan Sandies
• Chocolate 'n' Cream Sandwich Cookies
• Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

Finally, here are the remaining misc. recipes I wanted to try as well:

• Carrot-Ginger Smoothie
• Classic Cheesecake
• Tortilla Pie with Chicken
• Creamy Polenta with Spicy Chile Oil
• Pasta with Chickpea & Tomato Sauce

(I know - it was a good issue! I flagged a lot of it! Just means more things to try later! Let me know if you make any - I'm especially curious about the ones I didn't try yet.)
