I have decided (much to my family’s chagrin) to utilize my decades old collection of cookbooks.

I went through them the past few days and picked recipes from each book that I’m fairly confident (😅) my family will like.

I have a lot of Rachael Ray books, as well as Danielle Walker. There are others thrown in, Saveur, Friends (the tv show), Julia Child, amongst others.

I’m really excited about this endeavor. I’ve been talking about using these cookbooks for a long time, and they have been staring at me from my kitchen counter since shortly after we moved into this house.

I plan to update regularly (and maybe film?) the results.

My ultimate goal through this process is to more properly plan my menus for the week, planning ahead so I can buy more in bulk to help my budget.

Let me know in the comments your favorite cookbook so I can add even more to this project! 🏝
