16 May 2019: My new years resolution was to cook 50 new recipes that I had never tried before. Almost halfway through the years and I am hitting a wall at #18. Any ideas for recipes?

I am really open to anything. I did this to challenge myself since I am new to cooking for myself and my ever grateful boyfriend haha. Could be breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even dessert. Just need some ideas so I can keep trucking along.

Edit: Wow this blew up!! Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. This is amazing. Will definitely be scrolling through these after work :D

Second Edit: Still shocked at how much attention this is getting. I love it. Thanks everyone for your thoughtful responses. Wanted to add that I have an instant pot, a cast iron pan, an immersion blender, and a zoodle cutter in case that sparks any further inspiration. Again thank you all. Will have to post an update when I cook some of these ideas.

Edit #3: I’m all the way up to 42!! I’ve made shakshuka and chicken pot pie as suggestions from here. Will post a full list once it’s all over and done with.

29 Dec 2010: My New Years Resolution for 2019 was to make 50 New Recipes to challenge myself to branch out and learn new things! I am proud to say I achieved my goal!

You may remember my old post from several months ago asking for suggestions. Thanks to all of you I reached my goal and made a TON of stuff.

Also a list of all the things I made! Some didn’t have recipes per se. Some I just improvised. But if anyone wants the rough recipe, I’m happy to link or type it out.

Thanks again to everyone. This has been the most fun challenge and the only time I’ve ever kept a resolution in my life.
