Let me think. Something will turnip.

I'm never really into new years resolutions. It's either something boring (last year was to pay off credit cards) or something I just don't get around to. This year I managed a clever idea! I got a few cookbooks for Christmas, and like I usually do, I browsed through them. The typical oooo's and ahhh's proceed that. There are the recipes that I think look amazing, but will never take the time to try, and the ones that are plausible. Someday I will make that, right? Then the books go on the bookcase, to the shelf that they have overgrown. 

 

Now don't get me wrong, I love me some cookbooks! I will pick one off the shelf occasionally and just browse through it. I enjoy that! I had to figure out something to encourage me to actually use them though. That was when new years came, and I figured out a solution to my problem!

So the plan this year is to make one recipe out of every book I own (there are 33 of them). The recipe can be anything, but is has to be something I have not already made. I compiled a list of 1-2 possibilities from each book I have. I'm excited to get started, try some new things, and eat some food!
