Another resolution I made for 2010 was to try 20 new recipes. This goal comes naturally to me. I LOVE trying to recipes. Seeing a list of ingredients and instructions turn into something delicious - and the game of reading recipes and judging which ones will turn out well - is so concrete and satisfying.
- Turkey-Mole Chili (slow cooker). Very good. A little heavy on the mole (Mexican condiment involving chili and chocolate) and too spicy for the kids. I’d probably use twice as many beans, more carrots, and a little less mole next time. Perhaps add corn.
- Boule and Light Wheat breads Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. My in-laws gave me this book about a year ago and I just got the courage to try it. The title does not lie. I spent 5 minutes stirring flour, yeast, salt and water together one day, and the next day I baked a loaf of darn good bread.
- Normandy Chicken with Apples (slow cooker). So-so. Way too sweet on the first day; the leftovers were better. I probably wouldn’t repeat this one.
- Pot Roast. Fine, nothing special. I think maybe I don’t like pot roast all that much to begin with. It was on sale so I gave it a try.
- Yeasted Cornbread with Cranberries and Orange, also from ABFMD. Awesome! The cornbread was light, fortified with orange rind & sugar, which produced a kind of marmalade-y layer in the bread.

Love it! Love YOU! The next Julia and Julia. Maybe you should cook through that Moosewood Cookbook you like and blog every day??? :) with edits of course and links to the recipe for us to copy.
