Cooking For Two

Lately, I've kind of been obsessed with cooking. Nothing fancy, but I am finally getting the hang of it. It also helps that Billy will eat anything.

A couple weeks ago mom bought me a really great magazine called Cooking for Two. There are 64 recipes, with the ingredients portioned to serve 2. 

After a couple days of it sitting on my counter untouched, I finally sat down and looked through each and every page. I slowly started marking the pages of the recipes that I wanted to try. Before I knew it, I had dog-eared 20 recipes that I want to try.

I've decided to make it my new personal challenge to cook all 20 before the end of the year. It will be tough but I think that it will help me break out of my crock pot comfort zone and try something new in the kitchen. 

• Chicken Soft Tacos
• Crispy Chicken Thighs with Snap Peas
• Barbecued Chicken with Mexican Grilled Corn
• Grilled Turkey Burgers with Warm Potato Salad
• Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Green Beans
• Slow-Cooker Beef Chili
• Skillet-Glazed Pork Chops
• Slow-Cooker Sweet & Sour Sticky Ribs
• Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower
• Spaghetti with Pecorino Romano & Black Pepper
• Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Fennel & Sausage
• Fettuccine Alfredo
• Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic Sauce
• Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes
• Austrian-Style Potato Salad
• Quinoa with Red Bell Pepper & Cilantro
• Couscous with Tomato, Scallion & Lemon
• Simple Drop Biscuits
• Cheddar Cheese Bread
• Key Lime Pie

Not sure what I'm going to do about the barbecue recipes since we don't have a grill. I'll just have to improvise when it comes time for that.
