Corned Beef with Cabbage and Carrots
Lots of ways to cook this. My new personal favorite. This was done with a smaller piece of beef, so scale herbs and spices a bit up (not 2x!) if you are cooking a larger piece. Start with a 2-3 lb piece of corned beef from a butcher. Not something cryo-vaced into a plastic bag with a spice package.

Spinach Risotto with Asparagus, Morels, and a Poached Egg
Inspiration from a meal out tonight: Spinach risotto w/ asparagus, morels, and a poached egg. Worth trying out. I would cook the risotto with water left from soaking the morels and what was squeezed out of some quickly sauteed spinach. Add the chopped, sauteed spinach, and already cooked asparagus s

Flax Seed Banana Muffins
Well, maybe no oil is a stretch. The flax seeds have all the oil in this, but they are so good. And frighteningly healthy. A baker friend would like me to add a cup more of sugar, but I don't think it's needed.
