#13: Tonight I made roasted potatoes with rosemary, salmon with a teriyaki sauce from Trader Joe's (yes, a shortcut) and steamed asparagus.

Obviously, nothing too complicated, but it still felt...

I'll be interested to hear about which of those recipes you recommend!

So I finished the broccoli soup, and I *think* it came out pretty good, though it hasn't cooled yet. I'm remembering what...

I'm bumping up this thread from forever ago because I'm still trying to develop my cooking "repertoire." A friend suggested we eat at my place the other night (he offered to pick up the groceries),...

I'm resurrecting this old thread which I abandoned in May.

Partly inspired by Ultralight's adventures in learning to cook, I, too, am using Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.

I'm going to try that tortilla lasagna, razz! Thanks for sending the link.

And Catherine, I'm thinking I'm going to try Blue Apron this summer. I'm single, but I'm thinking it might be a fun...

I made two new recipes last week: roasted new potatoes (I know, very basic, but I'd never done it, so I'm counting it) and Lemon Thyme Chicken...

BikingLady, that spiralizer sounds fun! My sister got one and has been raving about it.

I managed recipe #2 last night: spaghetti with spinach and olives, a recipe from the New York Times website....

Razz and Biking Lady, thanks for sharing your experiences.

I was highly unambitious with recipe #1 - just made spinach and goat cheese quesadillas, an easy recipe from the New York Times website. ...

I've been trying to learn to cook and have gotten stalled. I really only know how to make about 5 or 6 dishes that I like. So I'm vowing to try 20 new recipes by the end of June. I'm giving myself...
