Broiled Grapefruit may be a simple recipe, but it’s one that adds a new spin on the grapefruit which I have been enjoying for months now and enjoy this new way to eat it.

from Simply RecipesAs some commenters mention on this Simply Recipes Hot and Sour Soup thread, it’s definitely not one of the most attractive soups out there, but when done right (not that gloppy bad take out stuff) I thrive on the dish. I could live off the Kikkoman mix that I’ve enjoyed since childhood (almost literally – I bought a case from Amazon as it became harder to find in local stores) but this more time consuming, fresh ingredient version, is definitely worth the extra preparation. It’s light, which might be surprising and we added some chicken to make it a heartier meal. We also substituted fresh mushrooms and were unable to add the more unique ingredients like lily buds. But it’s a recipe open to interpretation and your own flare.
from Paula DeenI know, you think a scrambled egg is a scrambled egg, is a scrambled egg, but Paula Deen’s adorably labeled Lady’s Perfect Scrambled Eggs, are in fact, perfect. Sour cream may seem like an unlikely missing key ingredient, but trust me, I’ll never make scrambled eggs any other way again.
from Serious Eats via Appetite for ChinaI’m telling you: ground pork plus an Asian recipe equals me me making kitchen magic. This particular concoction of Minced Pork with Soba Noodles comes from the great Serious Eats (which found it on Appetite for China) and boasts a list of very simple ingredients that result in a very complex and spectacular dish.
from Monday-to-Friday ChickenPotato salad is a grand dish I always look forward to once cookouts are in full swing. I jumped the seasonal gun a little bit with this Chicken Dill Potato Salad, which adds a punch of protein and garners main entree status with the addition of chicken.
Aside from the cook book, it can be found on Fresh Direct’s website.
From the Momofuku CookbookOur friend Mike is nothing if not ambitious: if you’ve taken a look at David Chang’s recent Momofuku Cookbook, you know that these are not simple fixins. Mike decided to have friends over the other night to try a selection of FOUR. Most impressively, all were delicious and made in a tiny kitchen sans staff of many to help.
The noodles are nice and simply refreshing. The rice cakes, which he improvised the most, were spectacular in their bold flavor. The cauliflower was a wonderful starter with a tangy vinaigrette, and the pork buns were simply incredible.
Plus, he had no snobby issues with the people eating his food taking photographs.

from Alton BrownAs grating as I find TV personality Alton Brown, I have to give him credit for quite a tasty meatloaf recipe.
We brought this by to my sister and her husband the night after she gave birth; they were psyched.
I added a little hot sauce to the top for some added zing.
from Sunset MagazineThis warming Salmon Egg Drop soup is a prefect hybrid of seafood chowder and egg drop. It’s filling and even got Jim to eat spinach with a smile. Plus all the ingredients have virus fighting super power!
from Cooking LightWhen I was a kid I used to love to eat yakitori at a place called… Yakitori! They’d serve the skewers in a red car-shaped plate to kids who ate in-house and it was there that I had my very first taste of sushi at a very young age (octopus).
I even have a bottle of their custom yakitori sauce (the place is still going strong in my home town) so I was hesitant to try my own hand at the dish. This Cooking Light recipe (do I cook from anyplace else lately) was not a disappointment. It’s quick, easy, not too heavy or fatty and full of flavor.
from Cooking LightFlounder is not commonly something to get worked up about, but I’ve really been raving and pushing this simple to make Flounder with Cilantro-Curry Topping and Toasted Coconut recipe on everyone I know.
It’s incredibly low calorie and the kind of meal that proves that eating right can be rewarding. I’d serve with rice next time to sop up the flavorful but light sauce.
