ok so in the month since i last did a cookbook clean up, our decorating plans changed and I did not lose my bookcase after all. but i would like less cookbooks on it so i could maybe put some of my journaling stuff on it - and truly, many of these books have not been used in years. why am i hanging on to them?
book 63 to go is a Guy Fieri one - first my kids wouldn't eat most of this and second, all the recipes have too many damn ingredients. this guy (hee hee) just can't have a simple basic recipe. I've sat with this book out for months and no matter how many times i go through it, i can only find 3 recipes i am even remotely interested in trying.
this second one hurts a bit more but like i said, some of these books I haven't looked at in years - and this is one of them. again, not the kind of food my family will eat. i have real hesitations about donating this one, but realistically i just don't think i'm going to cook from it any time soon.
and lastly, some motivation to myself to keep going in all things -

The Artists Way
we start off with a no bake biscoff cookie crust
whizz a sleeve of cookies in the food processor until fine. add a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup of melted butter and whiz again. press into the bottom of your 8-9 inch pan and chill.
then mix your package of cream cheese, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla and beat until creamy and thick. pour over the crust, smooth and chill for at least 3-4 hours.
perfect!

EATING
Managed to snag myself a small piece of pound cake before the kids and the grandpa ate it all
The Boy is taking foods this year and is loving it. So far he and his partner have not always been successful with their creations, but they are having a good time learning and trying.
They made crepes, and so he declared that we needed to make them at home.
He was nervous when it was time to make french omelettes, so we practiced at home.
And then knocked it out of the park in class!
