One new recipe a month

I totally failed at keeping my crafting blog last year. So maybe I
need to try doing something more feasible. I love food and it's
something I like sharing with everyone. So maybe the best thing to try
is one new recipe a month. Whether it's something Filipino or
something else, I have to try making it. There are so many things I
want to learn how to make. And I do cook sometimes. Or bake. It
depends on a lot of things. And cooking is an essential skill so I
know I must go beyond the pasta dishes I've been studying before.

Meat dishes are so difficult for me to cook because I find it
difficult to purchase meat. I am not always sure about their
condition. And more so when I need to wait for them to be tender. I
get really impatient haha. Another reason for me to want to learn a
new recipe per month is that I know I have to lose weight. So
healthier choices would be great. And sometimes I get fascinated with
the substitutions that could be done in a recipe. (Like eggless food.
You could use other stuff instead of eggs, but it depends on what
you're using the egg for.)

Here's a list of stuff I want to make and I am not sure which ones
will go to which month:
Chinese quequiam
Adobong puti
Zongzi/Machang
Peanut butter cups (ala Reese's)
Pad thai
Paella
Shepherd's Pie
Apple Pie
Chicken Roll
Tea flavored cupcakes
Matcha cupcakes
Pinangat
Salpicao
Kung Pao Chicken
Kare-kare
Oyakodonburi
Samosa
Palak Paneer
Omurice

I am still thinking of stuff to list. I see that I still haven't
written down much pork or beef dishes. I am so lazy when it comes to
cooking meat. ~_~ In any case, these should be interesting to try. :)cross-posted via posterous.com: http://eclair.posterous.com
