So, I've been a bad blogger, a very bad blogger. November has been a crazy month, and we haven't even hit Thanksgiving yet! I had two weeks at work where I had to stay each night, and if I stay late, the traffic increases and my evening commute lengthens from just over an hour to almost two hours. Yeah, not fun. So, those nights have been devoid of trying any new recipes and filled with leftovers, frozen pizzas and quick non-recipe meals -- quesadillas, rice and beans, nothing good to really blog about. I like my entries to be something I tried for the first time, or an old favorite, but I like them all to be actual recipes, not general, anyone-can-throw-this-together-kind-of-food. Also in November was my birthday - yay! Which also resulted in a string of meals out at restaurants. I will blog one of those visits soon, to Vintage 50, which was amazing, but back to the point of this post, we haven't been doing too much blog-worthy cooking lately in our kitchen and it's time to fix that. Of course I say this as we are about to leave town for Thanksgiving, but since we also tend to do a decent amount of cooking at my parent's house, I'll be sure to take any pictures for new entries.
As a result of the craziness of November, I won't be able to get three recipes out of my cookbook of the month choice, partially because of time, and partially because it was so hard to pick just three! So, I'm making it a double month book and will try for 5 or so between November and December. I've chosen
The Best Light Recipe, by the fine folks at Cook's Illustrated. I love their extensive testing of recipes to determine what really is the 'best' version of something. Also, Zach just got me a subscription to the monthly magazine as part of my birthday present, so look for some of their regular recipes too!
