Okay, so now that Matt has stopped hogging the blog I guess I can post again….<\/p>\n

I’m not one for resolutions. Well, let me rephrase that. I’m not one to TALK about resolutions. I don’t like to talk about what I am working on because if I fall short then only I am disappointed in me (and let’s face it, I’m gonna be far harder on myself than anyone else is). Yes, I know the theory behind the whole “accountability” “keep you honest” “support network” idea, but I’m just very… internal? I’d say private, but I don’t know if any one would agree with me, particularly as I am saying it on a Blog… But I am.<\/p>\n

Back to resolutions. I decided that I am going to try 100 new recipes in 2013. I have mentioned Pinterest in past, and one of the primary reasons I use it is for recipes. I was looking and I have 145 recipe pins between my “Things I want to cook” and “Things I want to bake” boards. I already went through my boards last week and cleaned out a bunch of stuff. Sadly, when you work on a “To-Do List” mentality, Pinterest starts to feel like a giant reminder of all the stuff you wanted to do but haven’t. So I went through and cleared out the recipes that I knew I’d never make. (I apparently went on a bit of a pumpkin trip last September…pumpkin bars, pumpkin coffee cake, pumpkin snickerdoodles, pumpkin donuts) That still left me with 145 pins. . . So I need to get cooking.<\/p>\n

The recipes won’t all be coming from Pinterest (although I will add them there) and they don’t only have to be from the original 145. I really need to clear out some of that backlog a bit, but I will still be adding new things I am sure! They must be new to me recipes though, not things I have made before.<\/p>\n

After each recipe I’ll write a short “review” of what I thought or things I did different here. (A short version will also be pinned to the board I created for this project “2013 – The Year of A Hundred New Recipes”<\/a>)<\/p>\n

First up, New Years Brunch – Eggs in Hell From the Chew\/Mario Batali
\nRecipe:\u00c2\u00a0Mario Batali’s Eggs in Hell
\n<\/a>Picture: Yeah… I just came up with this idea so I kinda ate it before taking a photo. I’ll be better about that next time, but here, please enjoy this picture from the website of how they were supposed to look:
\n\"Eggs
\nYeah, mine looked TOTALLY like that…<\/p>\n

These are essentially eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. Both Matt and I prefer our eggs scrambled, but I will branch out on the rare occasion. Matt, not as often, so these were just for me, so I reduced the recipe. The problem was reducing the\u00c2\u00a0jalapeno\u00c2\u00a0as well, I over-compensated, reducing once for quantity and again for my\u00c2\u00a0perceived\u00c2\u00a0whimpiness. Discovery #1, I’m apparently not that much of a whimp. My quote was “They are more like eggs in purgatory”. So don’t skimp on the\u00c2\u00a0jalapeno, otherwise it’s just eggs in tomato sauce. Which led to discovery #2, I’m not the biggest fan of eggs and tomato sauce together. I can see how\/why it works, but just isn’t a flavor combination that appeals to me. Although, I would try this method again using enchilada sauce for Heuvos Rancheros and see how those turn out….<\/p>\n
