Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Why were there no new posts for April?

I was looking for pictures to add to one of the previous posts today when I noticed the date of my last post here.  April 1st.  It's been a month, actually more, since I last posted.

And I know you're disappointed, so let me explain.  Maybe.

When I realized how long it's been I immediately went to my planner.  My planner keeps track of EVERYTHING.  Aside from the events, meetings, and appointments filled in on the appropriate days, I keep my notes there.  On the left, the workout schedule of P90X routines for the week.  On the right, the week's menu, including a post-it with items I'll need at the store.  And of course, a to-do list.

And perhaps that to-do list is the cause of the lack of new recipes.

In the past month these were some of the recipes that I was supposed to make:
Herb Crusted Pork Chops
Poached Fish with Spicy Sauce
Bow Ties Florentine (ok, I did make this, but it turns out it wasn't a new recipe.  So I didn't post it here again).
Sole with Shrimp Sauce
Dry Rubbed Chicken
Skinny Coconut Chicken
Chicken in Tarragon Sauce
Arizona Tortilla Soup
Gift of Garlic Pizza
Caribbean Peanut Chicken

Most of the recipes were moved to later dates in my calendar.  For when I catch up and start cooking again.

And maybe I'll have something to add tomorrow morning. I've already scratched the recipe for tonight- Balsamic Steak Au Poivre- deciding that the weather is just to nice to be cooking over a skillet when it can be cooked on the grill instead.  But I do have a recipe for oven-baked french fries. 

Stay tuned...
