The Brunch Series: Recipe Link Round-up

To round out the series on brunch, here are the links to some of my favorite recipes that you can now make at home:


-Carrot Souffle I came across this recipe in a home magazine a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love with a new creative take on how to serve carrots.  Do not be fooled or frightened by the word souffle in the recipe.  It is a foolproof recipe that is made very easy by the use of a food processor.  I almost always make it ahead of time and then just bake it right before it's going to be served.  


-Baked Glazed Ham Ham is one of those party foods that everyone always gets really excited about.  The host loves it because they are relatively simple to make and feed a large crowd with ease and guests are into it because it's one of those things you don't make at home on a regular basis and who doesn't love those mini ham sandwiches.  A lot of times, a ham will come with a ready made glaze but sometimes it's fun to jazz it up a bit with your own homemade touch.  In years past I've made a pineapple mustard glaze by Martha Stewart that is quite delicious but I was going for ease this year and you can beat the Barefoot Contessa's glaze recipe.  Another thing that can easily be made ahead of time and I swapped out apricot preserves for the mango chutney and it was just as good.  


-Roasted Salmon with Mustard Tarragon Sauce One of my favorite ways to cook salmon and by baking it at a high temperature, it almost seems at first bite like you might have poached it but since not many home cooks actually own a fish poacher this is a simple way to get that kind of flavor.  Also a great weeknight dinner and can be served at room temperature over a salad as well for a fancy lunch.
