Picking Our Random Recipe for April

February was my first month participating in a fun event - Random Recipes - that I discovered on Belleau Kitchen. Dominic had teamed up with the We Should Cocoa event and I made a Chocolate Truffle Tart.

We took last month off. But we're back with a vengeance! Here's his invitation for April's Event: A is for Alphabakes, co-hosted this month by Ros of The More Than Occasional Baker and Caroline of Caroline Makes.

We picked our recipe tonight. Here's how we did it...

I selected six cookbooks and assigned two cookbooks to each family member (minus my husband who was busy doing homework) who selected a number between one and ten.

Riley wasn't too excited that he had The Artful Vegan; he's a dedicated omnivore!

Everyone flipped to the index - letter A - and wrote down the recipe that corresponded to their number.

We ended up with Roasted Broccoli with Almonds, Honey-Allspice Cake, Vanilla-Lavender Aioli, Albondigas, Crispy Spice-Brined Pecans, and Asparagus-Crab Soup. Then I put them all in a bowl and we drew the winner.

The recipe we picked will remain a secret till I post the recipe before the end of the month.

But I will disclose that we are cooking from The Artful Vegan! Sorry, Riley! No, in all seriousness, this recipe will be delicious. I'm excited about it.

Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.
