My Favorite Recipes of 2006 – Part 1

I was asked by Virginie, of the wonderful French blog Absolutely Green, to join her in posting my top 10 recipes of 2006. Well, I gave it my best. I started with January, copying and pasting links to recipes that I remembered as being my favorites, but when I got to June I noticed that I already had over 20 recipes. What to do?

I decided to exclude old favorites like My Favorite Lasagna and Tofu Jambalaya and focus only on recipes I first tried in 2006–and I was still left with 12 recipes. After a lot of tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth, I managed to cull the list down to 10 recipes, more or less. And I was still only up to June! I knew I’d never be able to come up with a top 10 list for the whole year, so I decided not to try. After all, it’s my blog–I can make my own rules. So what follows is my Top Ten Recipes from the First Half of 2006.

Mexican Pumpkin Soup

Thai Coconut Soup with Tofu and Mushrooms

Coconut Chai Breakfast Cake

Mirliton and White Bean Stew

Miang Kum Rolls

Pav Bhaji (Spicy Mixed Vegetable Sandwiches)

Spinach and Artichoke Pie

Roasted Asparagus and Portabella Mushrooms with Horseradish Sauce

Kale and Toor Dal

Asparagus Pesto Pasta Salad

Stay tuned for my top ten for the second half of 2006.

And don’t forget about Vegetable Love, the round-up of Valentine’s vegetable dishes coming up on Tuesday. There’s still plenty of time to get your entry in, so start cooking!
