So, I'm Cooking Again.
Feb. 1st, 2011 09:44 amHun's job has gotten stressful, and I have 94 cookbooks, but have not used most of them. The plan is to try different recipes from different books (starting with the thinnest!). If I like enough recipes, I will keep the books, if not, I will remove them from the house (bookmooch, given away, donated to Goodwill/Amvets). If I only like 1 or 2 recipes, I will copy them out into my new recipe books - the Hello Kitty notebook that I was given for Christmas.
Also, I am not eating junk food for about a month, and we are moving to more vegetables and whole grains, and less animal products.
This week's plan:
Sunday - hun cooks
Monday - Succotash (In the Kitchen with Miss Piggy)
Tuesday - Garlic Thyme Chicken (In the Kitchen with Miss Piggy)
Wed - leftovers
Thurs - leftovers
Friday - M&R
Sat - probably go out
All days: salad
I might end up switching Tuesday and Wednesday, since I get home later today and earlier tomorrow.
The succotash came out well; I added half again as much bacon (whole package) and skipped the jarred peppers. Hun like it, and I did too, and I will probably keep this recipe.
Added 2/7/11: The garlic thyme chicken was okay, but not worth keeping the recipe.
