Me and Cook's Illustrated

Last weekend, Scott and I saw "Julie and Julia" and I just loved it! The idea of cooking your way through a cookbook sounded so cool to me! So, I started looking for a book to do just that. I picked Cook's Illustrated Best 30 minute Recipe book, but it's huge....great, but huge, so I settled on something a lot smaller, but just as good, Cook's Illustrated Magazine. I figured if I could work my way through their magazine every other month I would learn a lot and Scott would get some great, out of the ordinary dishes! So, last night I made the first recipe, "Steak Tips with Mushroom Gravy" and it was a hit! Kellie even discovered she LOVES mushrooms! Who knew? Anyway, tonight the plan is to make the Austrian Potato Salad and Mexican Grilled Corn with my awesome BBQ chicken! Sounds good, huh? Well, come on over!
