Normally I would be gearing up for a Meatless Monday right now, but unfortunately there won’t be a new or interesting recipe being tried out in my kitchen tonight. My car died a little last night, so there’s no going to the market: my plans for roasted potato leek soup will have to be pushed back to next week.
Instead, I’d like to share some food articles/posts/pictures that have caught my attention over the past week or so.
Happy Monday! Enjoy!

Baking and yoga don’t seem to go together very well, but The Nibble brought these awesome cookie cutters to my attention. I tend to be a little more consistent in my cookie baking than I am in my yoga attendance, but maybe these would be an inspiration. (The recipe for molasses honey ginger cookies might even inspire me to bake something chocolate-free!)

While most of Huffington Post’s Top 10 New Foods of 2010 didn’t thrill me (though I’ll admit that a fried peanut butter banana bourbon sandwich sounds pretty delicious), one thing stuck out as something I need to track down and sample: burratta. The HuffPo description alone is enough to make my mouth water. Then again, I’m a sucker for anything cheesy.

The Candy Critic is constantly pointing out interesting links to food and candy news and trends, and his post on 2010 Food Trends is no different. The mention of Parisian macarons was enough to make me take a look at the entire list. (I can’t get macarons out of my head since I saw them mentioned on Hot Polka Dot. She’s totally right- making macarons is not rocket science.) Nothing on the list seemed particularly earth-shattering, though it did reinforce my suspicions that I need to find a Bahn Mi restaurant to try.

Finally, since I’m on the topic of blog-inspired foodcravings… I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Pretty Foods and Pretty Drinks. Sure, I love when these little visual treats pop up in my google reader. When pictures like this come up, however, I just end up frustrated. Why is there no recipe to accompany this amazing-looking grilled mac and cheese?!?
