I was just fixing myself a very late breakfast (DH and DS are both still sleeping after DS had a rough night) and glanced at the area of my kitchen counter where I keep all my cookbooks, and I realized..."Holy Moly! I have a LOT of cookbooks!" I could seriously try one new recipe every week from a different book every week, and still not use all my cookbooks! I could cook a different dinner EVERY night for probably 5 years without repeating a recipe!

SO...my newly formed goal for myself is to use recipes from a different cookbook every week this year. Maybe this will help us in not eating out so much!

Great idea! I have a stack of Food Network magazines - I'm gonna work on them this year.

I say go for it! You should post in the new recipe challenge thread.

I too have a stack of food network magazines and many cookbooks of recipes I want to try.

This is an area that I need to get organized. I have lots of cookbooks and lots and lots of recipes that I have printed off the internet. I need to sort through and try some of these recipes. Also go through the cook books and find recipes we like. Then I would like to print them out on to index/recipe cards so they are nice and neat and easy to choose from.

I purchased some Avery postcards/index cards, but haven't found a good template to use for recipes. I want it to be rather plain and not use up a bunch of unnecessary colored ink.

Some day...............

I'm a cookbook addict..rarely use them but an addict none the less..I especially like the ones at the check out aisle..the small taste of home, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker type...LOVE cookbooks..spent couple hours in Books A Million looking thru them..didn't buy ( it was hard ) but still looked
