Recipes for a new year

Happy New Year, everyone! My New Year's resolution is to cook more beans, chickpeas, and lentils. (The added advantage is that they're one of the main crops near where I live, enabling me to eat locally and organically as well as cheaply. Ah, two birds with one stone--feelings of virtue and middle-class preoccupations!)

Here are some links to recipes from around the internet that I plan to try this year. As you know, I despise recipes that don't work, so I am a terrible snob about where I get my recipes from. Fine Cooking is 100% reliable, in my experience, so a lot of them come from there. Food Network is pretty hit-or-miss, but it depends on the author, and Nigella Lawson recipes are usually fine. Martha Rose Shulman's Recipes for Health in the New York Times are really good, and from time to time I find a Jamie Oliver recipe I like. I don't know anything about thekitchn.com, but their recipes look interesting, so I guess we'll find out. All these recipes look like they'll be reasonably cheap to make, and nutritious, and, I hope, delicious too.

So here goes:

In my neverending quest for the perfect vegetarian burger...

White Bean Burgers with Tomato-Olive Relish from Fine Cooking
Mexican Black Bean Burgers from Fine Cooking
Seared Turkey and White Bean Burgers from Fine Cooking

Soupy things, since it's soup season...

Jamie Oliver's Corn Chowder
Eggplant Ragout with Tomatoes, Peppers, and Chickpeas from Fine Cooking
Chicken Soup with Lime and Hominy from Fine Cooking
Chickpea Soup with Crispy Kale from Fine Cooking
Nigella Lawson's Rice and Tomato Soup

My other quest, which is to make myself like chickpeas...

Chickpea Casserole with Lemon, Herbs and Shallots from theKitchn
Chickpea of the Sea from theKitchn

...and a cottage cheese pasta recipe from the New York Times that I think Baby B would like.
...and Slow Cooker Black Bean Enchiladas

Happy cooking and eating! May the year 2014 be a good one!
