Recipes Cooked in 2011

Now it's just habit to keep a list of new recipes tried each year. The goal is to hit at least 50 each year. So I try a new recipe about once a week and some meals will involve 2 new recipes that I saw and wanted to try out. Let me know if you're also keeping a running list of recipes you make so I can keep looking for ideas to try out here too.

So far, I'm most excited about "Spaghetti with Chicken and Thai Peanut Sauce" which led to the "Pork and Cabbage With Peanut Sauce Noodles" dish that I made up. The "Succlent Braised Pork" recipe was true to its name and I'm definitely making that one again. I'm also loving "Roasted Sweet Potato Fries with Plum Powder" after hearing my sister describe a street food snack. And I like to keep "Crispy Cheese Wafers" or "Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Cannellini Beans" around to munch on throughout the day. Some great eating so far in 2011! I'll eventually make individual posts for these recipes too but I just wanted to get my list together so I could find my recipes again.

What a great idea!

You post lots of recipes too...do you tag them to make it easier to find? I kept a list because I was trying to coax myself into cooking more often but now I keep the lists to make it easier to look up something I had made before.

I'm lazy about tagging. I keep telling myself I need to go back and do the rest, but it's low on my priority list. I'll put a tag link on my latest recipe to get you started.

Nice! And lots of them with links!!! :) Thanks! :)

The original goal was to have every recipe posted and linked but I'm behind on that...trying to catch up though.

I love this post! I have a "books read" but I never think of recipes cooked! FUN!

[identity profile] fitfool.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
I have a 'books read' list too but my 'recipes cooked' grows a lot faster :)

That's a great idea!

So far I have half a dozen different breads (settling on French Bastards for a daily loaf), four or five bar cookies (I just made a wonderful bar with blueberries--see recent post) and improvised some stirfries which don't even really need a recipe.

You seem to be one of those improvisational cooks I so admire. I'm trying to get to the point where I can just come up with dishes like that. I just posted a recipe like that today. But it's still something to be remarked upon...far from routine to make something up for me. I love that you've baked up a bunch of different breads. And I made that Blueberry Boy Bait recipe last year! :)
