I’ve been getting into cooking lately. My favorite source of recipes has been The Pioneer Woman. Her blog is fantastic – not just for cooking, but for photography as well. Anyways, I’ve made a few of her recipes recently.
Asian Noodle Salad (Link to recipe)
This was a huge success. It’s really easy to make – the only cooking being the pasta. Otherwise, it’s just lots of slicing and dicing. It was hard for me simply because I was doing it at my boyfriend’s place, and his kitchen is just like any other bachelor kitchen – aka insufficient. I’ve since rectified it a little bit, but at the time, I was slicing and dicing on a plate with a steak knife. We won’t talk about how difficult that was, especially when I was trying to cut up cabbage. I’m surprised I didn’t cut myself at all. Maybe the steak knife was too dull…
Anyways, the boyfriend loved it. I loved it. It’s crisp, delicious, and refreshing. I made it in August, so it was perfect for the summer. The dressing is very flavorful without being too heavy. We both ate 2 large plates of it, but still didn’t come out bloated. I’ll definitely be making it again.
Pasta with Eggplant (Link to recipe)
This was pretty tasty. It’s easy to make, but it does take time. Cutting up all the eggplants and salting them was a lot of work, and it might just prevent me from making them again.
Bacon Onion Cheddar Biscuits (Link to recipe)
Yum yum yum yum yum. It was so yummy I forgot to take pictures of the finished product. Frying the bacon took a while, but it’s completely worth it. I’ll eat this at all times of the day – in fact, mostly I just need to come up with an excuse to eat another one

I’ve made quite a few of her other recipes so far. A List: Baked Lemon Pasta, Pico de Gallo & Guacamole, Penne a la Betsy, Fig’s Cheese Muffins, Perfect Pancakes, and Baba Ghanoush. I didn’t take pictures of any of these, but they were all delicious and you should try them.
