I'm not sure if this will gain traction (I've given up guessing what topics stick with me), but I'm playing around with this new feature: Dishes I'd Like to Make. When I read newspapers, blogs and magazines, I find tons of dishes I want to try. Then, when I'm at the farmers market, I get fabulous ingredients, but have no idea what to make with them. By organizing this category by month/season, I'm being kind of selfish, but also helpful (I hope). If you go shopping at the market in a certain season, you can go to one of my posts from that season, and find some great recipes for the ingredients.
I just flipped through my August Bon Appetit and Gourmet, and here are the recipes on my radar:
Fresh Peach Bellini Jelly
Roasted Peaches with Amaretti Crumble
Peach and Pecan Upside Down Cake
Chinese Egg Noodles with Smoked Duck and Snow Peas
Meze Platter with Hummus, Shrimp Salad, and Cucumber Salad
Summer Tomato and Bell Pepper Soup

Orecchiette with Fresh Mozzarella, Grape Tomatoes, and Garlic Chives
Grilled Turkey Burgers with Cheddar and Smoky Aioli (I love the concept of adding aioli to the turkey meat)
Grilled Clams with Lemon-Ginger Butter and Grilled Baguette
Mozzarella Arrabbiata Salsa (no-cook pasta sauce)
Slow-Roasted Tomatoes

Baked Tomatoes with Hazelnut Bread Crumbs
