Anyone who's been reading here for a while knows that I am more than a little obsessed with food. I read a lot of cooking and baking websites, watch all kinds of cooking shows, and I like trying new recipes. I'm also busier than ever these days with work and training runs for the Army 10 Miler, so I need to find quick, healthy, vegetarian meals for dinner. Here are a few recipes that TS and I have made lately that we really enjoyed... some new, some old favorites.

Edamame Soup from 101 Cookbooks -- We just ate this tonight. The fried shallots really take this soup to another level.

Ten Minute Couscous Soup from 101 Cookbooks -- This is going to be my new go-to soup for when I'm under the weather.

Spinach Quiche from Smitten Kitchen -- I made this for a book club brunch and now I get requests to bring it all the time. It is so, so good. TS and I made a crustless version of this quiche a couple weeks ago to have for breakfasts all week.

Zucchini Carpaccio Salad from Smitten Kitchen -- A delicious summer salad.

Black Bean and Corn Salsa from Ordering Disorder -- It's delicious as a salsa/dip for tortilla chips, a side dish for a barbecue, or on top of some lettuce with some shredded cheese for a Mexican salad. I added some diced jalapenos or chilis to this for a little heat.

Chilled Avocado-Cucumber Soup -- I've really gotten on a soup kick this summer. This is the first chilled soup I've ever made other than gazpacho. Speaking of gazpacho...

Gazpacho -- Makes a HUGE batch... enough for lunches for a week, plus some leftover to freeze. (Or eventually dump down the drain, if you are wasteful like me, but seriously it makes SO MUCH.) I usually top it with some crumbled feta cheese.

Ultimate Veggie Burger from 101 Cookbooks (also called "Sprouted Garbanzo Burgers" in my new favorite cookbook, Super Natural Cooking, which I recommend to everyone these days) -- TS is totally in love with these veggie burgers and I must agree that they are pretty gosh darn tasty.

Sushi Bowl from 101 Cookbooks and Super Natural Cooking -- Totally the lazy (wo)man's sushi.

Chickpea Salad with Lemon and Parmesan by Orangette -- I've mentioned this recipe on here before (as well as the previous chickpea burger recipe). Was in heavy rotation for my lunches for a while, but I think I overdid it on the chickpeas... it's so good, I know I'll be making it again though.

Farfalle with Zucchini from The Pioneer Woman -- Okay, not so healthy, but super delicious and an excellent way to use up all that summer zucchini.

And lest you forget that I love to bake, let me add two more of my favorite recipes...

Banana Bread with Chocolate and Cinnamon Sugar from Orangette -- My favorite banana bread recipe. (Sadly, I overbaked this last week.)

Orange Chocolate Chunk Cake from Smitten Kitchen -- I love the combination of orange and chocolate. This cake got RAVE reviews when I made it. I don't usually make too many cakes from scratch (I have, and use without apology, The Cake Mix Doctor for many cake recipes), but this one was well worth the extra effort.

Whew, okay... I'm getting a little hungry just thinking about all this yummy food. Let me know if you try one (or several) of these recipes, or if you have any other recipe/food website you would recommend.
