Unsurprising, because America‘s Test Kitchen is great, this is a terrific book. The photos, layout, and ideas are fantastic.

This was the Faux Leftover Fried Rice - the Thai version.

Tamra I very much respect ATK, so well tested & written. They can be a bit fussy for casual home cooking; sometimes I break the rules. 😉 1mo
mabell @Tamra You‘re right, they can be fussy at times! I like knowing that the recipe will turn out and why, which is something that makes me nervous about trying new recipes sometimes. Especially ones found online! 1mo
janeycanuck @Tamra @mabell haha - it‘s way safer to break the rules when you know the source is good! I‘m way more likely to make some tweaks on the first try on something from ATK than some random blog. 1mo
Tamra @janeycanuck so true! 1mo
mabell @janeycanuck Good point! 1mo

I haven‘t felt much like cooking over the last few weeks. I felt bad enough that I wound up urgently under the care of doctors this week as my blood pressure had spiked to 180‘s/100‘s and stayed there for a week or so. I just couldn‘t care to get my cookbooks out and make something. But I‘m feeling better every day now with BP treatment and my numbers are better. I‘m ready to get going again.

#mtcookbook friends: I‘m so sorry for my inactivity!

intothehallofbooks I know this wasn‘t exactly book-related but it‘s #mtcookbook related as I thought about what everyone else was cooking and what cookbooks they were using the entire time I felt ill. Book adjacent, if you will 😊 2mo
Deblovestoread Glad you are feeling better! 💜 2mo
Ruthiella Happy to hear you‘re doing better now! ❤️ 2mo
Tamra I‘m so glad you are feeling better! 🤗 I‘m glad we gave you some tasty things to think about and hopefully distract you a little bit. 2mo
mabell ❤️ So glad you‘re feeling better, and that you found #mtcookbook entertaining in the meantime! Looking forward to seeing what you make now! 2mo

My sister and mom are over for Christmas 🎄 I made us fried eggs and hash browns, plus we had some cinnamon bobka and wassail from Trader Joe‘s. We also watched some home movies 🎥

Ruthiella Sounds like a perfect day! 1y

Dealing with a bit of a Crohn‘s flare, so I stayed home for Thanksgiving. Still felt the need to cook, so made a rice pilaf to have along with the pumpkin pie my mom made and left for me earlier. A cup of ginger turmeric tea to round it off.

Otherwise just enjoying a laid back day of sleeping in, watching the dog show, listening to an audiobook, and snuggling with my cat.

Hope everyone who celebrates is having a Happy Thanksgiving!

Ruthiella Happy Thanksgiving to you! 🦃🙏 1y

I‘ve been a vegetarian for longer now than I wasn‘t - and yet I think this is maybe only the second time I‘ve had an eggplant parmigiana…

OMG.

Consider me a pub meal convert.

Tamra Yummmmm 1y
marleed A friend of mine makes egg plant Parmesan so good. She d seriously request it as my last meal! 1y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @marleed, I enjoyed it so much that I would be tempted to request it as mine too 🫣 if the situation called for it 1y
marleed It really is that good! 1y

I am obsessed with America‘s Test Kitchen. I love most of their cookbooks and ALLLL of their YouTube videos. Seriously, when I‘m stressed, I read/watch ATK.

I‘m trying very hard to cook smaller amounts with my twins away at college and my son away from home most nights. It‘s so hard, you guys. But I‘m trying.

Tonight I made weeknight beef stew for two. It‘s delicious and easy!! One small gripe: I wish there were pictures for every recipe.

KatieB What‘s your favourite ATK cookbook? I always love an excuse to buy a new cookbook!😂 2y
intothehallofbooks @KatieB My favorites are The Chicken Bible and The Complete Summer Cookbook. I love so many of them but these are the two I use most. I love them because they‘re easy enough for me to make in my own kitchen with ingredients that aren‘t hard to find at all. If you‘re going to buy one-get the Chicken Bible. (edited) 2y

Prairiegirl_reading ATK has a pecan pie recipe that is 🤌🏻. Everyone I‘ve made it for loves it. That cookie looks so good!!!🤤 (edited) 2y
