New to Me Recipes 2025

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to make 40 new recipes, mostly from my extensive cookbook collection that I don’t cook from enough. As I cook, I plan to link the recipes and cookbooks here, both to share with you and to keep me on track. Affiliate links used for cookbooks.
New Recipes
- Whole30 Chicken Soup Recipe with Coconut Milk: John and I absolutely LOVED this soup. It freezes beautifully too.
- Sweet Potato Chili: This was another Whole30 recipe. It was very good.
- Brunch with Babs Hot Corn Dip: We made this recipe for the Super Bowl and it was delicious. It definitely has some kick, so keep that in mind when making it.
Cookbook: Celebrate with Babs - Guacamole with Cheese: This is a Chrissy Teigen recipe and it was the best homemade guac I have ever made. I will say, we liked the cheese, but totally not necessary.
Cookbook: Cravings - Enchilada Rice Skillet: This was sooooo delicious. If you use premade rice, omit the beef stock (we missed this note, but it was still delicious, just runnier than it should have been. This recipe is similar.
