Last spring, I had to feed about 60 rugby players after a game on a limited budget. I made pulled chicken, pulled pork, a delightful Champagne Vinegar Red Potato Salad (which I don’t make often because I love it, but Ian doesn’t), which were all pretty good and which disappeared as if by magic.

I also made some recipes that I now want to make over and over again.

The Smashed Chickpea Salad from Smitten Kitchen? Delicious, simple, healthy, and I want it right now. At least some of my Rancho Gordo chickpeas have acquired a very specific destiny.

Also delicious? The Peanut Butter Cookie recipe from 101 Cookbooks. These are doubly dangerously delicious because you can eat the dough raw without any concerns (no eggs, not that I usually let that stop me) and, once cooked, the cookies are also awesome.

A recipe I haven’t made, but want to, is this Garlic and Cashew Noodle Salad from Bitchin Camaro. Something about the Asian flavor profile just sounds so yummy during the early spring.
