For the past 15 years I've noticed I've been seeking out fewer and fewer traditional cookbooks and instead I'm using blogs for recipe inspiration. The results are not always great but, hey, that's been the case regardless of medium. What I especially appreciate about online recipes is how they are usually accompanied by reviews so I can often fine-tune from the get- go. So, with this item, I'm going to start sharing links to recipes I've made along with some quick thoughts on the dish. I'd encourage others to likewise share but, please, only on recipes you've made or at least tasted.

Last night I made Asian-Style Pork & Noodles. It was a nice switch from the usual stir-fry and quite good. I've added it to my "keepers" collection. Makes 4 reasonable portions. The only changes I made were: 1. I cut the amount of noodles in half to decrease the overall carbohydrate load. 2. I used whole wheat egg noodles. 2. I added 1/2 tsp. sriracha sauce to the sauce for a touch of heat. http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/asian-style-pork-and-noodles

Here is another recipe I made a few weeks ago. It's a yummy panini which goes together quickly and is great paired with soup. I don't have an electric panini press but instead just use a heavy grill pan and a weighted top.
