My resolution for 2009 was to make 52 new recipes throughout the year, or roughly one per week. I tracked my progress using kibotzer.com. I didn’t quite reach my goal, but I ended up making 45 new recipes, and I am pretty satisfied with that. Most of the recipes were from cookbooks I already own or from the internet, but some were my own inspirations. For most of the recipes, I also blogged a little about them, so that I would remember how I made them. In 2010, I am looking forward to revisiting many of these recipes, and continuing to improve upon them to fit my taste.

I tried this goal once several years ago, and enjoyed it, but by June the goal had definitely slipped my mind. Kibotzer helped me keep working towards my goal through gentle reminders every month or so, plus having my goal public also gave me a little extra incentive.

Here is a little slideshow of most of the recipes I tried.
