I've really been trying to work on #2. Try 30 new recipes 
so far I have completed 6 out of the 30.
Here's what I've made:
I made chocolate lava cakes.  The recipe is from Ghirardelli Chocolate; http://www.ghirardelli.com/bake/recipe.aspx?id=1085


They were excellent and even reheated well in the microwave.
The chicken piccata recipe is from the Pioneer Woman: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/03/monday-night-dinner-my-chicken-piccata/

I would make the chicken piccata again but change the sauce a little.  It was not thick enough.
Rotini and Sweet Pepper Primavera from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook:

Forgot to take a picture when I finished this dish.  It did have alfredo sauce on it.  Great easy meal and reheats well.
Lentil and Veggie Tostadas also from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook:

Yummy but we are going to try black beans instead of lentils next time.
Blueberry muffins (March update) and banana bread (no picture)
