Stephanie who blogs at Sustainable Cooking for One received Veggie Gretti by Gretchen.  Both of these ladies are experts in vegetarian and gluten-free cooking.  They also both have formal training in nutrition.  So if you are looking for truly delicious food that is very healthy and need recipes developed by someone in the know, these two blogs are for you!  Stephanie says . . .

“May’s SRC assignment was someone I had been hoping for– VeggieGrettie creates vegan and gluten-free versions of classic dishes (Banana Cake!) as well as some novel mixtures. I couldn’t resist two recipes: a pseudo-fudge, and the chickpea-based savory pancakes.”

Check out the recipe for Chickpea Pancake with Rosemary Mushrooms.

This month, Lesa of Edesia’s Notebook received Bizzy Bakes by Chaya as her SRC assignment.  Honestly, it is the simple meals that are full of flavor that appeal to me most.  And this one is very appealing!  Lesa intentionally makes her recipes easy enough with delicious, but not numerous, ingredients so that busy people can easily come up with a fabulous dinner on a busy week night.  Browse through her recipes and I’m sure you will find many that fit a busy lifestyle and suite even the pickiest of palates.  Chaya’s recipes are fast, easy recipes with few uncomplicated ingredients.  Lesa says . . .

“I saw several recipes on her blog that caught my eye, such as Corn and Sausage Cakes with Tomato Topping, Asian Glased Chicken, and Peach Rhubarb Cream Cheese Coffee Cake.  But the one I decided to go with was her Roasted Salmon and Potatoes.  We love salmon (my girls, ages 2 and 4, practically inhale the stuff!), so I am always eager to try new ways to prepare it.”

Check out the recipe for Honey Mustard Roasted Salmon, Potatoes and Mushrooms.

Alessio of the blog Recipe Taster received Megan’s blog, Megan’s Cooking.  Alessio is quite the chef and has a flair for making even the most simple ingredients a gourmet meal.  Megan is also fabulous in the kitchen and she loves food that is sweet, savory and simple.  Together they make quite the pairing!  Alessio says . . .

“From her blog it is evident that she loves to cook and eat a bit of everything, so much so that she end up being a polygamous! But can you blame her to love both citrus and chocolate? Nah we can’t, can we?

Kate who blogs over at FoodBabbles received Tammy’s blog, Koreafornia Cooking.  Kate “just a girl with a passion for good food”.  She is a mostly stay-at-home-mom, part-time paramedic, baker, and amateur fotog which all make for great stories and yummy recipes.  Tammy’s blog focuses on “Korean cooking with a California spirit”.  Kate says . . .

“This was a fantastic blog to look through because there were so many new ingredients that I wasn’t familiar with. I would have loved to make many of the recipes however, lately I’m on a citrus kick so I decided to tackle Yuja Curd.”

Check out the recipe for Yuja Curd.

Lauren from Healthy. Delicious. received Kimberly’s blog, Rhubarb and Honey for her SRC Assignment this month.  This mouth-watering, tasty, out of this world sandwich, or tortas, is the end result.  Somehow pork and Mexican or Southwestern food just seem to go together.  Lauren’s goal is to present food in healthy quantities while limiting, but not eliminating, processed food and refined carbs.  Kimberly’s goal is to use healthy, delicious food, preferably produced locally in a sustainable manner and make it available to everyone.  These two ladies make quite a team!  Lauren says . . .

“The recipe makes a ton so I’ve been having fun trying different ways to eat it. First, I had it with yellow rice, then I rolled it in tortillas with pickled onions and avocados. But my absolute favorite has been to eat it on a sandwich (torta) with crusty bread, a thin smear of garlic and herb goat cheese, lettuce, cilantro, pickled jalapeños, and more pickled onions. It’s a hearty sandwich – it would be great to bring along on a picnic after a hike – and it’s one of the best that I’ve had in a while.”

What is better than buttery, ooey, gooey, sticky, sweet Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread?  Absolutely nothing!

Cinnamon toast is one of those things that you grow up with and just the smell of cinnamon takes you back to the days you were a kid and you knew it was going to be a great day when mom fixed you cinnamon toast.  Right?  Well, this Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread is going to make memories in your family for sure!  Kim over at Cravings of a Lunatic has a recipe that will inspire your cravings.  She was assigned Peggy’s My Fiance Likes It So It Must Be Good.  Kim says . . .

“I adore Peggy and she is an amazing cook so I knew I would have endless recipes to choose from. I picked her Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread as I’ve never had or made this stuff. So right away it drew me in. Hers looks way better than mine so be sure to stop by and check it out. Poke around her blog a bit. You won’t be disappointed.”

Check out the recipe for Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread.

Nora from Natural Noshing was given Dena’s blog, Oh! You Cook! for her SRC assignment this month.  Nora is a gluten-free gal and her tummy thanks he for it every day.  Her high energy level she attributes to almost eliminating refined sugar – almost being the key word.  She does indulge a bit during the holidays.  Dena devotes her blog to kosher recipes that include chicken, beef and fish as well as dairy, parve, vegan and vegetarian.  Nora says . . .

“She has so many recipes that I kept drooling over but the one I kept going back to was her Broiled Haddock with Thai Coconut Sauce. I happen to love anything Thai and I’ve been searching for a savory dish that incorporates (one of the many cans of) coconut milk I purchased on sale recently – waalaa, this was the one!  This recipe was amazing, many thanks to Dena for posting this entree that inspired this oh-so-flavorful dinner!”

Check out the recipe for Poached Hake in Thai Coconut Sauce.

Yasmeen blogs over at Wandering Spice.  This is what Yasmeen says about herself.  “My philosophy is that the best meals are imperfect, fun and inspired by life. I’m endlessly interested in food and culture, and love sleuthing out the histories behind the foods of the world. I channel that here by sharing my most beloved Middle Eastern family heirloom dishes, along with other Eastern-inspired sweets and savories I’ve invented/discovered during my travels.”  This month her SRC assignment was My Judy the Foodie by Shari.  Shari describes herself this way.  “I am kitchen-clueless. But, I’m ready for a challenge as I attempt to stumble through my mom’s famed recipes, reliving my most heartfelt childhood memories while creating new traditions for my own family.”  Now, how could you possibly wait to dive into both of these ladies’ blogs and read their stories and make their recipes?!  Yasmeen says . . .

“Shari cooks her way through her mother’s treasured recipes and shares anecdotes about family life. After reading only a few of her stories, I fell in love with what sounded like the perfect lunch: prawns braised in a fragrant tomato sauce, softened with earthy oregano and dill and topped with sharp feta. Tastiness aside, it was the significance of the recipe that drew me in and begged me to try it.”
