13 Weeks In

More than 13 weeks have passed in the 52 week challenge and I'm really enjoying it. I did (intentionally) skip one week, but otherwise have done all of the challenges (and more than one for some weeks). I really think this has been great for trying new things and broadening my cooking horizons. It's also made meal planning really fun.

To recap what's come out of the kitchen for the first quarter of challenges...

Week 1 - eggs (vegetable scramble and gravlax omelette)
Week 2 - Polish (slow cooker kapusta and kielbasa)
Week 3 - one pot (one-pot sesame chicken, shiitake and brown rice)
Week 4 - ingredient you hated as a kid (lima beans and more lima beans)
Week 5 - vanilla (macaroons)
Week 6 - Jamaican (jerk chicken and rice & peas)
Week 7 - poaching (poached eggs & polenta and sesame chicken cucumber noodle salad)
Week 8 - TV show inspired (Hawaiian garlic shrimp and mac salad)
Week 9 - garlic (black garlic and mushroom pasta)
Week 10 - Australian (sausage rolls)
Week 11 - molecular (skipped for these reasons)
Week 12 - street food (fish tacos and esquites)
Week 13 - potatoes (twice baked chili cheese potatoes and hasselback potatoes)

Looking forward to recapping the next quarter of challenges!
