I probably try 3-4 new recipes each week as I have a collection of over 500 cookbooks (what was I thinking?!!). I think about 30-50% are "keepers". The last awful recipe was a pork stew using Hatch chiles. Lots of work and it all got thrown out!

Thanks, but think I'll stick with tried & true. :)

I always go overboard when I have an interest in something. It's a disease!

I did a new one for supper last night.. the rest went in the trash. I am taking the blame. It was NOT good at all.. It sounded good and that is how I judge a new recipe.. I goofed this time...

I tried the 'diet cake' yesterday. We were 10 people and there's not a crumb left today. It was so fabulous. I used triple chocolate cake mix and one can diet cherry coke! That's it! Mixed it up and then baked it in a 9X13 pan (sprayed with Pam) according to the cake mix directions. So no excuses...don't need eggs, oil, etc. Just one can of diet soda. I am definitely going to do this one again. You can use any cake mix and diet soda combination of these two ingredients.

I make some with sloppy joe mix instead of the bbq and ketchup and we love them. We mix the sloppy joe mix with the cooked meat (flavor to your taste), press the biscuits in muffin tin and up sides, spoon in to fill and bake adding cheddar cheese for a couple minutes. These can be frozen for a quick meal later. I used to live near Hastings also.

I hate when that happens, you are all psyched to add something new to the same old line up of recipes, and then I feel like I just wasted all the ingredients.
