Cookbook Challenge!


I am a proud cookbook hoarder aka cookbook addict.  My sister says I have cookbook porn.  I display my addiction with pride and giddiness.
So, I am issuing a challenge to myself this week.  My family, as usual will reap the benefits and give feedback.

 

The Challenge:


Create & execute a menu for dinner this week (beginning Tuesday, May 26th, because I have already planned a menu for tonight for Memorial Day) using a different cookbook for each meal. 

 

The Rules:

  • Meal must consist of a main dish & at least one side dish.
  • Dessert is optional.  If dessert is chosen, a separate cookbook maybe used since there are several dessert only cookbooks.
  • Recipe does not have to be a new recipe; it can be a variation of something made before, but just a little different. (i.e. different version of scalloped potatoes than the one known by heart.)
  • Safety dishes (as long as they are side dishes) are allowed in the event the main dish doesn’t meet ones taste buds.
  • All meals will be posted with picture and recipe location.  MLA format will not be required in source list.
  • No recipes from the internet – unless they are already printed & in a binder on the shelf
