Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
I found a recipe for white bean, sage, and Italian sausage soup (kinda more like a thick stew, actually) a couple of years ago. I make a huge batch of it every fall when the rain starts, freeze most of it, and eat it for months. So rich and comforting.
a little help pls?
almond milk is really, really good in yerba mate. and it's raining here in portland now, so i'm starting to get the urge to make some.
Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
one square of very dark chocolate (%80-ish percent).
or my mother's coconut macaroons.

@NotAmerican - that sauce sounds yummy. We have some fresh jalapenos in the garden I could use...
@everyone - sounds like Franks + butter is the most popular. Has anyone had any success imitating it with fresh ingredients?

Lamb and fig kebabs grilled on rosemary skewers (thanks Mark Bittman) or fish tacos with mango salsa. Either with fresh berry pie for dessert!

where are the cooks in my generation?
I'm only 21, but have been cooking full meals since middle school. My mother used to cook every dinner, but when she took a part-time job, she no longer had the time or energy. So divided up the week and each of us (my parents, brother, sister, and I) each took two days a week to make dinner. My sister was only about 8 at the time, but she still learned how to make food other than Mac and Cheese and we're all, I think, great cooks now.
Tasty toast toppers....
