New Adventures: The Best Recipes I Tried In January 2015

Published on February 3, 2015 By Emily. Updated on February 5, 2015

As promised, I’m saving the best new (to me) recipes from each month to share with you all at once.  Enjoy!

seriously delish quinoa cakes

Crispy Rosemary & Parmesan Quinoa Patties from Seriously Delish

I received Jessica’s book for Christmas this year and I’m still pretty obsessed.  This cookbook has seen more use in the past 6 weeks than any other I own.  Everything’s turned out great, but the best thing I’ve made so far was the Crispy Rosemary and Parmesan Quinoa Patties on page 203.  These were so good and so easy.  I saved myself a bit of time and made the quinoa the night before.  All I had to do the day I wanted to make this recipe was mix the quinoa, eggs, shallot, garlic, parmesan, rosemary (I used dried), salt, pepper, flour and bread crumbs.  I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with various patties that crumble as soon as they hit the pan or when I try to flip them.  These quinoa patties stay together and cook up nice and crispy in just a few minutes.  I love a recipe that’s both easy and super yummy.  This hit all the right notes.

general tsos tofu

General Tso’s Tofu from Domestic SuperHero

I’ve made a lot of Asian-inspired dishes over the past several years and lately I’ve been getting increasingly comfortable with pan frying tofu.  This recipe makes excellent use of both those skills.  I loved this General Tso’s Tofu; its basically a pantry meal (I had to get tofu and green onions), which makes it really easy to pull together on short notice and inexpensive.  The sauce is especially delicious.  I’ll definitely be making this recipe again soon.

    We’ve been eating a lot of quinoa lately, but haven’t made it in “patty” form – looks good.

      I don’t eat a lot of quinoa in general…I’m just not a big fan, but I love those patties. If you try them, please let me know how they turn out!

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
