Cookbook

So,

I got a new cookbook at Chistmastime from a friend. It's called the "Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats - A year of Deliciously Different Dinners (A 30 minute meal cookbook)". I finally had some time to crack it open today and take a look.

I have seen Julie and Julia - So don't think I'm about to spend a year making all of these recipes and blog about it here. I barely have the time to cook, let alone blog about the cooking. I would like to blog about some of the recipes thou. Especially the ones I like a lot.

I think that the goal of said person was to encourage me to abandon my terrible life of take out too often and cook more. Which is something I talk about doing, and do for a few weeks but never follow through on.

But I think this time I might just give it a try. The fact that each recipe should take no more than 30 minutes to make might just be the carrot I need to take this project on. Of course I won't be making one of these every night. All the servings are for FOUR. So I can either make loads of left overs or divide the recipe by 4. Only time will tell what I will do.

The other nifty thing about the book is that it includes a tab on the side: of "I'll try this later" and "It's a keeper". Although I think it is missing the "that was gross, don't cook that again". Which I'm going to add to the recipes I try and don't like. (crosses fingers that there aren't many)

And of course I will be substituting all the ham/pork/pig death products with other meats or tofu.

Hopefully this little project will also encourage me to break out some of my fav. recipes from my year of being a Foods teacher (Yah, you can laugh now :D).

Wish me Luck,
