First, I enjoy cooking! However, over the years I have settled into a comfortable, but boring rut cooking the same meals over and over again. Also, since my husband's diabetes diagnosis in 2000, I have done very little baking. My goals with this project are to add variety to our meals, re-discover my love of baking, and challenge myself to try to new things.
My goal is to cook my way through the Betty Crocker's Cookbook (BCC) that my aunt gave me when we got married 19 years ago. Some of the recipes will have to be altered due to my husband's diabetes and my desire to keep meals low-fat where possible.
My inspirations are first of all my grandmother, mother, and high school home economics teacher who all helped me to develop my meal planning and cooking skills. Also, I have no doubt that seeing the movie Julie & Julia and reading the book helped plant the idea of cooking through a cookbook.
