Cook the Book: The Serious Eats Chocolate Lover's Library
Depends on amount of time available: Rose Levy's Domingo chocolate cake is absolutely wonderful (Cake Bible). If no time to bake & am anywhere near a Neiman Marcus, then get their espresso chocolate cookies. They are closer to a fudgy brownie than a cookie & are lethal when slightly warmed & paired w/ a cappuccino. Yum. :)
Cook the Book: 'Whole Grains: Every Day, Every Way'
steel cut oats (usu at b-fast), hulled barley mixed w/ lentils added to salad, seven-grain flour mix (from King Arthur) in my bread (w/ aid of the mini Zojirushi - no time to bake manually anymore)
Cook the Book: Sweet Potato Gratin with Onions and Sage
Stand-by quickie lunch or supper: 1/3c edamame, 1/2c green peas (defrost in advance or just nuke them until warm), 2 eggs. Put all parts into a buttered (or oiled) shallow baking dish, season to taste & bake @ 325 until desired degree of doneness. Approx. 12-13' will get you solid whites w/ warm but liquid yolks. Can be done stove-top, but this way the cooking vessel is also the serving dish - min clean-up is a wonderful thing. :)

There may be others that I've blanked out, but on one occasion was chatting on the phone while assembling a bread dough & left the salt out - the clean up of the runaway rising dough took quite some time & effort. Since then have made sure to be off the phone until after am certain that all ingredients for a given recipe are correctly measured & incorporated. :)
