Favorite New Recipes

I stopped watching the Food Network for quire a while, but happened to catch an episode of the Barefoot Contessa about a month ago where she made her version of parmesan chicken for Mel Brooks. I told my boyfriend that this recipe changed my life. That's really dramatic, but seriously this is the perfect recipe and it always makes me so happy to cook it and eat it and when I serve it to other people I say, "This will change your life." They think I'm crazy and it doesn't change their life, but they do contend that it's seriously delicious.

The recipe is really simple and straightforward, it's basically just parmesan chicken with a really crisp salad directly on top that's been tossed with a tart lemon vinaigrette. Afterwards, you just shave shards of parm on top. It's fresh and easy and hot and cold and tart and savory; I think it's the greatest thing in the world.

Have you recently encountered any recipes that you know you'll carry with you the rest of your life? Where do you discover new recipes?

Here are some other recipes I'm currently obsessed with, most of which came from blogs I found through Tastespotting:
Rick Bayless' Enchiladas Especiales Tacuba Style (from SE)The Zen Kitchen's spiced pumpkin bread
For the Love of Food's pastelitos de guayaba
Kitchen Confit's cauliflower and brie soup
Tea and Wheaten Bread's rustic beef and potato bake.

Ok, I could go on forever, so I'll stop.
