Other Epicurious Recipes I've Tried

1. Mahi-mahi with blood orange, avocado, and red onion salsa
I bought some mahi-mahi, and then realized I didn't know what to do with it. So a quick epicurious search brought up this "3.5 forks" recipe. Turned out really delicious, was relatively easy with the food processor, but a bit spicy, depending on how much jalapeno you put in. Overall, flavorful, fresh-tasting and pretty simple.

2. Cheddar and pepper scones
The fact that this was one of the best recipes in 1999 caught my attention. I actually just needed a salty breakfast item to go with the pound cake that Cas had already baked (it was my turn to bring in treats on Friday - haha it all seems very mundane when you put it in writing). Easy to make, didn't need to buy any exotic ingredients (except buttermilk, which I don't normally stock), and the scones tasted like homemade mac and cheese. Haha, I think it may depend who you are, but I found them pretty savory.

3. Eggs Benedict with mock Hollandaise
Made for a Mother's Day Brunch sans mothers (it's true), these were a big hit. PLUS, the mock Hollandaise is easier to prepare and better for you than real Hollandaise. A few guests said it tasted better as well. I like to use whole wheat muffins and regular Canadian bacon. Served with steamed asparagus.
