Have any of you seen the movie Julie and Julia? Russ and I rented it a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was really cute. It's about two of my favorite things: blogging and cooking! Not only did I enjoy it (though it was a little slow in some parts), but it also inspired me. I love cooking and I love trying new recipes. One of the things on my Christmas list that I was gifted was the cookbook Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld.
I am so excited about this cookbook! It is geared toward making recipes that children like such as macaroni and cheese or pizza, but in a healthier way. So one of my goals for 2011 is to do a spin on the Julie/Julia project. In the movie Julie and Julia, Julie went through a Julia Child cookbook in a year. She made every recipe in the book and blogged about the results. I am going to do the same thing. I'm not going to put a time limit on mine like Julie did, but I am going to try to do 2 recipes a week. I will take a picture of the finished project and blog about them. I think this is going to be a super fun project for me and I hope you guys enjoy reading about my cooking endeavors!
Plus, Jessica Seinfeld (who is Jerry Seinfeld's wife) also has a sequel so if this goes well, maybe I'll do it with the second one, too.

How cool! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
I saw Jessica Seinfield on Oprah cooking and talking about the book, and I have wanted to try it ever since. I can't wait to hear how the recipes turn out!
Oh, and I in no way endorse Oprah.
I may join you in this project! I got both of Jessica's cookbooks and can't wait to find some good recipes to make!
How neat, I love cooking also!! I can't wait to read about it.
Look forward to reading about your adventures in the kitchen. I love quick and easy new recipes but I hate being the first one to try them out.
I just bought this book too. I can't wait to cook from it and read about your dishes.
I own this book and her other one. Be warned that the 2nd mac and cheese recipe with beans is horrible! But the first with butternut squash is amazing!
