the 20 list / try 20 new recipes. done.

IMG_3528[1]

If you’ve been following this blog, you would’ve seen the pictures of the recipes I’ve tried in the last twelve months.

Not all of them have turned out like they should’ve. But I’ve loved the excitement of trying new recipes. And of course, I have to thank all those who *willingly* ate my food experiments, even the not so yummy ones.

This one’s definitely going on the list again (:

You can check out my 20 recipes here!

20 recipes / fettuccine + soured raisin cookies

This pretty much wraps up trying 20 new food recipes. And truth be told, I wouldn’t mind it lasting a bit longer. I had so much fun doing this – I’m totally putting it on my upcoming 21 list (:

Presenting recipe #19 and #20!

fettuccine

I made this quite awhile back when we were having pasta almost every day. And while my love for pasta is no secret, I was totally ready to get back to my rice at that time (: haha.

sourcreamcookies

This was one interesting cookie – chewy and crumbly and not didn’t taste at all sour cream-ish like I’d expected.

Honestly, I can’t believe that I’ve already tried twenty new food recipes. I think, somewhere along the way, I lost track and miscounted, making me think that I still had one more to go.

But I’m DONE!
Now I’m off to check this one of the list! (:

20 recipes / pb & chocolate cookies + chicken & bacon pot + spinach linguine with creamy walnut sauce

I can’t believe how close I am getting to trying out twenty recipes this year!

I honestly didn’t ever seriously consider the possibility of it, or the fact that I would try seventeen new recipes and still have four months left of twenty!

I tried these a couple weeks ago while I was on my blog break!

pb&chocchip cookies

I love how cute these cookies look!

chicken&baconpot

This one-pot dish was pretty easy – I’m putting it in the go-to recipes for when I have no clue what to make for dinner!

spinachlinguine

This recipe was from Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast. I’m quite liking the two recipes I’ve tried from it so far.

20 recipes / tea cakes + moroccan honey & lemon chicken + creamy lemon squares

Last week was pretty productive on the 20 recipes front.

I tried out three new recipes, of which I only have pictures of two, because the Moroccan honey and lemon chicken was gone by the time I remembered to get pictures.

So.

If you happen to remember, the last time I tried a recipe from this book, it didn’t turn out too well. As in, they tasted good, but looked not-so-good. But I’m pleased to announce that the tea cakes this time tasted lovely and looked just like they should (:

I found this recipe here. But this hardly turned out like how I expected it. But that happens, right? Like not everything we make turns out like how we expect it to. So this one didn’t. Technically, it still counts towards the 20 recipes (since it’s just about trying them). But I’m definitely trying this one out again, and I hope, successfully this time.
