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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!
ReplyDeleteHow neat, I love cooking also!! I can't wait to read about it.
ReplyDeleteLook 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.
ReplyDeleteI just bought this book too. I can't wait to cook from it and read about your dishes.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
