This is just the tip of the ice berg. On three other shelves in another room, there must be twenty Southern Living Annual Cookbooks, in addition to all the other Christmas cookbooks, books by Martha Stewart, clippings from newspapers and magazines, cook books from church organizations and Junior Leagues all over the United States. I’ve lost count. I’ve read them for entertainment and used many of them. I do have some I favor more than others. The original Southern Living Cookbook, which was a wedding gift, has been a long time favorite. So, what to do with them all?

This year I’ve decided to try a new recipe each week. I’ve done this before, but I’m adding a twist. I’m going to try to make at least one recipe from each book I have. This could prove to be quite a challenge since we’re expecting our fouth child, and the three we have don’t all like the same things – of course. Anyway, it should be a fun endeavor. I’ll try to keep up with posting the best and the worst of the experiment. Happy Cooking!
