friday randoms. the food edition.

pinterest is a wonderful and terrible thing all at the same time. great for inspiration and menu planning, bad for my hips. you see, i must be following all the foodies of the world or something, because every time i log on, i'm assulted with photos of amazingly delicious food. and of course, i just have to try all these recipes. so for today's edition of friday randoms, i thought i would share my 5 favourite recipes i've tried lately.

1. asian peanut noodles with chicken

i tried this last night and it was so good. so good. i will definitely be trying this again. very, very soon. warning! it is spicy, so not for those who like things mild.

2. carrot cake sandwich cookies with cream cheese frosting
i made these a few days ago for my small group. deadly. i've decided that the frosting will be my new carrot cake frosting, it's so delicious. be warned - the texture of the 'cookies' threw me off a bit because they're more cakey than cookie. but still so good!


3. baked penne with chicken, broccoli and smoked mozza
we made this this week and i was reminded how much i love it again. i think this would be great for potlucks. oh, and since i don't even know where you would find smoked mozza, and because i'm cheap, we just used regular mozza.


4. cheddar bay biscuits
otherwise known as the mouth-watering red lobster biscuits. i made these on a cold and wet day with butternut squash soup and it was perfect. these definitely have to be eaten as soon as they come out of the oven.


5. cinnamon roll sugar cookies
this was a hybrid of cinnamon bun and cookie. it was a bit tedious to make (well, for me. i hate rolling dough, so i had to beg kent to do it for me). and it made about a zillion cookies! i only baked half the dough, and froze the other half. but it was really good. i'll definitely make these again.
