1. Spicy Shrimp and Grits - this really was spicy and filling, and surprisingly good leftover. I think I went a little heavy on the parmesan, but it was worth it :)
2. Lamb and Chickpea Tagine - These were some unique flavors for me to use, and I even went a little heavier on the spice. Enjoyed with a zinfandel like they recommended, which was wonderful.
3. Pasta with Asparagus, Pancetta and Pine Nuts - Simple, delicious, and we ate too much. I crisped the pancetta in a skillet instead of the oven and then cooked the garlic in the drippings for extra flavor - yum :)
4. Maple and Soy-Glazed Flank Steak - this was great since I already had all the sauce ingredients in my pantry. Word of warning though, when you add the glaze, make sure not to get it on the pan or it will burn when you broil it! I'd recommend adding the glaze after the steak is done cooking.
5. Austin, TX! That's right, my sassy city has been featured in this month's Cooking Light. I haven't tried any of the recipes included on the featured restaurants yet, but I'll definitely be giving Hoover's Eggs Blindfolded over Garlic Cheddar Grits a try soon :)

Can't wait to try that flank steak! Love your lamby face!
I love Cooking Light's features on different cities. I remember they featured Kansas City while I lived there, and I was so excited to check out the places they mentioned! Check out the Irish Brown Soda Bread recipe, too... I blogged about it after my sister made it and totally won me over.
(I'm a friend of Chris Bennett's, BTW. He mentioned your blog to me a while back, and I like to check in to see what's cooking down in Austin! Lots of tasty recipes... nice job!)
