New Cooking Adventures

Gregg and Allison got us The America's Test Kitchen Family CookbookAmerica's Test Kitchen is one of our favorite PBS shows and the companion cookbook as not disappointed.  We have made a number of different recipes from it already.  The shtick behind the show is that they try all the different ways to make a recipe and then come up with the best techniques and ingredients of all of them.  We like the cook book because it mostly contains dishes that you would actually like to eat and for which you actually have the ingredients.  All of the recipes that we've made so far have turned out great.
  • Chicken Enchiladas
  • Peanut Butter Cookies--really, really good
  • Slow Cooker chili
  • Slow Cooker beef stew--a great beefy recipe
  • Corn chowder (on the docket for Friday)
If you're looking for a good family cookbook, I'd certainly recommend this one.  Very helpful and doesn't assume a ton of cooking prowess.

I had the slow cooker beef stew leftovers for lunch yesterday, and they were even better than the day-1 dish!!
