Yummy Recipes from a favorite blog - "Craft: transforming traditional crafts"

It was a great year on the CRAFTZINE blog for foodies as well as those just casually looking for an easy meal, a homemade gift from the kitchen, or a new main to serve to the fam. I've collected some of our more popular recipes -- those that took off on Facebook, really excited the editors, or made a splash on StumbledUpon. I think it's an awesome list, and I plan on making all these recipes in the new year.

A few words of warning -- going through this list may make you extremely hungry, thirsty, or both. It's best to sit down with a pad and paper so you can start your shopping list for the ingredients you'll soon be craving.


Balsamic and Thyme Roasted Portabella Mushrooms -- Good for Thanksgiving, good as appetizers, good for vegetarian feasts.


Flavorful Fudge
-- Fudge needs no explanation. And we've got five variations of no-explanation-needed for you to try.

Grilled Balsamic Basil Flank Steak -- This was a popular recipe throughout the summer, and with good reason.

Enchiladas Verdes de Jocoque -- Green chile, cheese, and sour cream makes for a delicious sauce.


Linguini with Lemon-Roasted Asparagus and Goat Cheese
-- The springtime bounty of asparagus makes this pasta dish really stand out. Plus goat cheese, yummy!

Snickerdoodle Cake -- An 8-year-old's birthday request turns out to be quite a popular (and tasty) recipe.

Sage Rush Cocktail -- "A simple cocktail and a darn good one," as explained by Cooking for Geeks author Jeff Potter.

White Bean Hummus with Spinach -- Great for spreading on sandwiches, and/or as a dip with pita chips or fresh cut vegetables.

Brandied Cocktail Cherries -- An unbelievably delicious homemade alternative to store-bought maraschino cherries. Perfect as a garnish on Manhattans.

Vegetarian French Onion Soup -- A classic soup, now in a yummy vegetarian version. This, it turns out, is something lots of people were wishing for.

Flaky Cheddar and Ham Biscuits -- Tender and flaky, plus they're perfect for making breakfast sandwiches!

Brown Butter Frosting Madelines -- Quick and delicious, this recipe uses store-bought cookies and a Martha Stewart glaze that can be whipped up in a jiffy.
