Update on my "50 Recipes for 2011" Project

I've made a little progress on my "50 Recipes for 2011" project ... I've got 8 done!  Out of the 8, there have been 5 successes and 3 failures.  Hmmmmmm ... that's only a 62.5% success rate ... a D- in report card terms!!  But I'm having a lot of fun experimenting, so that's all that really matters - right?

As I try recipes on the list, I'm making updates in red in the original post.  Click here to view that post and check out which ones made the success list, and which were failures.

I think I'm going to try either #23 Blueberry Gingerbread or #27 Coconut Pie this weekend.  Let's hope whichever I choose turns out to be a success!  Oh, and I'm still toying with tweaking the Chipotle Mac & Cheese ... I'm having a hard time letting the concept go ... I think I can make it work ... I think I can, I think I can ...  (UPDATE:  I did indeed try the Chipotle Mac & Cheese again using my "vision" ... still not great.  Gotta give up on this one.)
