Entry numero uno.

It all started with me waiting in line at the local Marshall’s store about to purchase Christmas presents for my Mother, when I looked over and I spotted it. “The Big Book of One Pot” is what it said on the cover, and yum is what it says on every page. So, I decided to be an impulse buyer and shell out the seven bucks needed to make it ours.

I brought it home and presented it to my lovely boyfriend, Jay, and we sat and read the delectable introduction written by Christine McFadden and perused the scrumptious photography by Mike Cooper, all the while eating up every recipe in the food styling of Sumi Glass and Lincoln Jefferson (what a name, eh?).

I was hooked. I choose to think Jay was too. I proposed the idea of cooking our way through the entire book and he effortlessly agreed. (We had just recently watched Julie & Julia… I admit it, I stole the idea from Julie to blog about our One Bowl Cooking Adventure.)

So, now, here we are. We have soups, meat, poultry, vegetables and desserts in our future. Yum, yum, yum, yum and yum. There is a seafood section, but Jay isn’t a fan… so maybe I’ll sneak in a few here in there for my own personal pleasure.

We attempt our first recipe tonight. It’s up to me to decide which one we do. I’m excited! Hopefully all goes well.
