This here gal is Ree Drummond AKA Pioneer Woman. I have been reading her blog now....oh gosh.....I don't know......a couple years at least and she finally published a cookbook! Not only is she a fantastic cook but she is also a phenomenal photographer! If you have never been to her blog before, do yourself a favor and go take a look. You will become a huge fan like everyone else that has read it! Here's the link: http://pioneerwoman.com/. Make sure you bookmark it for you will definitely want to go back for more.
One of the things I love about her is she shows color pictures of each step of her recipes she posts. It's not only like this on her blog but it's like that in her cookbook too. As for me, I like to see what I'm supposed to be doing and see how the stuff should look considering mine never looks the same as in the books themselves! Pictures help me and I need all the help I can get!
Anyways, let's get to the point. Have you ever seen the movie "Julie & Julia'? If you haven't, you should. It's good. It's Julia Child's story of her start in the cooking profession that intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book. I have heard of people doing this long time ago before I even heard of this movie and knew who Julie Powell was and I thought it was such a cool idea! Over the years I have thought about doing such a project, but honestly, I never found a cookbook that was that interesting enough to make everything in it......until now. Ree Drummond's book is that book. Only difference is, is that I am not going to make a recipe each day and I am not going to blog about it. I may mention what I make when I make it and what we thought about it, but the purpose of doing it is just to have fun and try new recipes. So in no way am I actually copying the movie. Not really, but I have to admit it does sound like it! So when am I going to start this silly project? I was thinking next week either Monday or Tuesday and that way I can call them "Make It Monday" or "Try It Tuesday" days. Or Friday can be "Fix It Friday's". LOL! I can't think of anything else clever that works for Wednesdays or Thursdays! So, that's what I'm going to do. Sound stupid or silly? It is, but what the heck? I'm getting bored eating hot dogs and hamburger helper. We need some change and you know what they say..... "change is a good thing!"
We'll see!
