What I learned about myself pulling together this list is that I love reading dessert recipes even if I very rarely make desserts. They just look so yummy!

• Roasted butternut squash quesadillas from Two Blue Lemons make me wish it was still butternut squash season. I might have to substitute another vegetable so I can make this with some of the Rancho Gordo black beans that are currently in my cupboard. http://www.twobluelemons.com/2010/04/roasted-butternut-squash-quesadillas.html
• I would like to come home to Southwest Mac and Cheese With a Cornbread Crust after a long-ass bike ride – http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/04/seriously-meatless-southwest-mac-and-cheese-with-a-cornbread-crust-recipe.html
• This Provencal Calamari Salad with Tarragon and Mint from Serious Eas might actually get me to overcome my making calamari fear – http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/04/french-in-a-flash-provencal-calamari-salad-with-tarragon-and-mint-recipe.html
• Will someone please make me some fluffy ricotta pancakes from the Kitchn? http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/breakfast/recipe-fluffy-ricotta-pancakes-048085
• Quinoa crackers with seeds from Gluten Free Girl are an aspirational baking recipe I might actually make someday – http://glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com/2010/04/qunioa-crackers-with-seeds.html
