I am the queen of to-do lists…. there’s one on my table at home, three on my desk at work, I use the Notes function on my iPhone to write to-do lists. Basically, nothing gets done unless I’ve written it somewhere and have the opportunity to cross it off.

Not surprisingly, I peruse some of my fellow foodies blogs for recipe ideas and inspiration. When I find something I want to make, I send myself a note with the link, but this is not the fool-proof method that “to-do lists” are…. Mainly because the e-mail gets buried in my Inbox, and is usually found 3 years later when I’m doing a computer upgrade.

Which is why I’ve decided that, since Besotted is my own recipe library, that I’ll use this space to post links to  recipes that I’ve found elsewhere and want to try.  Mainly, this is so that I can keep a virtual “to-do list” of inspiring recipes for myself, but I would encourage you to check them out, as well. And, if you make them before me, please let me know what you think!

Oh, and please  add any ideas you have to my queue!
