What's cookin'

I dunno what's up with me but I've been dying to cook recently (and knit, but that's another story) so my first opportunity this weekend I got out several new recipes along with a few old ones and made:

*biscuits for breakfast
*cupcakes for a picnic
*cream cheese frosting
*cooked carrots for supper
*chicken tetrazinni (a new recipe)
*carrot cake (to surprise dad, it's his all time favorite)

and a super delicious new find:

*feta stuffed tomatoes

These were absolutely wonderful!!! If you have any good tomatoes this summer you have to try them. You basically slice the tomatoes in half, scoop out the inside, chop it up a little and mix it with feta cheese, green onions, some fresh parsley and a bit of salt and pepper. Refill the tomatoes and bake them for 15 minutes. I never would have thought of eating these warm but they were actually delicious, heated just enough to be warm but not so hot that they felt cooked or that the cheese melted too much.

It was amazing how much my family enjoyed having something a bit different for supper. We tend to get stuck in a rut of always cooking the same things and some new recipes have been the needed trick. I've gotten a few cookbooks from the library here and there and spent a bit of time this weekend copying out the recipes I want to try so now I have a whole arsenal :) Do yall have any new favorite recipes? I'd love to hear what yall are cookin' these days!
