Welcome!

I was looking at one of my new cookbooks the other day, thinking that there's got to be a way for me to utilize all my cookbooks better. I love to try new recipes, you see, and therefore I loooove to buy new cookbooks. It's a huge weakness. I see a new cookbook at the store, and if it sounds remotely interesting, I've gotta get my hands on it. But I seem to not have all the time needed to try all the cool recipes inside these books, since I bring the book home, thumb through it a little, maybe try a couple recipes, then put it on a shelf with all the other cookbooks and think how nice it will be someday to get to that book.

Now, I'll be honest, I own over 300 cookbooks. Egads that's a lot. I know, I'm embarrassed to tell you. But mind you, it's been my guilty little pleasure for about 6 years now, purchased a few at a time. All women have their own vulnerabilities, right? Some women can't get enough fabric, or scrapbooking stuff, or what have you. Right?

So I made a conviction that I would start a new goal/hobbie (which is always good to do right after having a baby, right?) to focus my attention on said cookbooks more. Doing the math, if I focused on 1 cookbook per week, I will have plowed through all my cookbooks in about 6 years. Yikes! Well, it's either use them, or get rid of them, so I'm committed to doing this. And I'm going to use this blog to organize all my attempts to find great recipes. I hope you enjoy this adventure with me!
