> I'm trying to use boredom with the few dishes I know to drive me to learn more about cooking. Start with a handful of recipes. Then add a new one to the mix each week. If it is a keeper, add it to the list of recipes. After you have about a months worth of recipes, organize them into menus (and save the shopping lists). Then you can start rotating menus. You will eat the same recipe once per month and it will not get boring as fast and you've save the shopping lists so the planning/shopping is much faster as well. Finally, once you have that in place, swap in a new recipe every now and then. If you like it, keep it in the rotation for a month, then swap the old recipe back in for a month. It make the burden of finding new recipes lighter and keeps things fun and fresh. Obviously, adjust the scheduling above to suit you, this is just an example.
