You Are What You Eat: December 16 through December 23
Streak of not eating inside a restaurant - 1002 days and counting (+8)
My new Recipes for the Year: 110 (+2)
M's new Recipes for the Year 24 (+0)
Our holiday travel starts soon (weather permitting), so this may be the last YAWYE for 2022. There are only two new recipes to report, both from me.
In my ongoing attempt to find a good sablefish recipe, I turned to Healthy Seasonal Recipes for the Ginger Lime Black Cod. Alas, although the marinade had potential, the end result pretty much was... baked fish with no taste of marinade. All these recipes talk about how easy sablefish is to make, which seems true, but I haven't yet found one that makes sablefish really good.
Our last CSA share had another enormous beet in it, so I made the Roasted Beets and Carrots with Feta from Craving Tasty. It's really hard to get roasted vegetables wrong, and this one was fine. However, any benefits provided by the marinade was mostly overwhelmed by the beets, carrots and feta, and I'm not sure it was dramatically better than just roasting them directly.
While we will probably cook while traveling, I suspect this is it for new recipes for the year. In comparison:
2022 - 110 me and 24 M - 132
2021 - 165
2020 - 155
2019 - 123
Take away the six weeks we spent on the road, and we likely would have been in the 150 range, so no complaints here. I've got a lot of recipes to print out and put in the cookbook, and even the last couple of Eating Wells to clip up.
This was the first year with the CSA, and the first full year with the CSF. Both forced me to go find new recipes, and the CSA in particular exposed me to a lot of ingredients I hadn't previously had in my house. We love the CSF and if anything are going to increase our purchases from it. The CSA (or at least some CSA) is likely to be renewed as well; that one has a bit more schedule challenge to it with weekly pickups so it'll depend a lot on how our year looks.
As for this series, it was originally started to give me impetus to track which recipes I was using from Eating Well. With Eating Well canceled forever, that purpose has ended, but I am finding it useful to track the other recipes we use. Since my overriding factor for posting here is "do I find this useful personally?" I'll likely continue in 2023.
