So Many Dishes!

I have recently made the goal of trying new recipes more often. I have always loved to cook, ever since I was little. My mom would always let me help which I loved! I learned so much through the years from my mom about cooking. Even now, I call her with questions on what will work or how to make something. I love that she always knows what to do. This happened tonight as I was trying a new recipe for a fresh peach pie...you don't cook it, which I thought was cool because I really like the flavor of fresh peaches. As I was making a glaze...I think that's what you call it...I mixed it all together and brought it to a boil...then you have to let it rest for 10 minutes before adding the peaches. After the 10 minutes...I realized I forgot the sugar. AAHHHH! So...I called my mom. She calmed me down and helped me fix my problem. My glaze worked out great. I have to wait until tomorrow to taste the pie though since it has to sit over night...but...It looks delicious. Although I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, the one thing I absolutely hate is all of the dishes I make. Tonight I tried 3 new recipes for dinner...and dessert. I made a chipotle chicken, cilantro lime rice, and the fresh peach pie. I had just cleaned my kitchen...in preparation for making a pie, and when I finished with dinner and the pie, my kitchen was a disaster. I think I used every pot, pan and mixing bowl I own. Oh well...it was worth trying the new recipes. The chicken was very good, but the rice....not very good. I looked up the recipe for Cafe Rio's lime rice, which I really enjoy, but it turned out one big mash of sticky rice. Does anybody have a good recipe they could share with me for rice...or for anything? I would love to try them.
