Inspired 1 part Julie & Julia, 1 part Knitxcore (who is blogging his way through the encyclopedia of craft), I am going to blog my way through my birthday present. Why?
A) I have had a girl crush on Gwyneth since forever. Instead of the cliche Scarface or Pulp Fiction movie posters, in college I had Duets and Talented Mr.Ripley. Did I cry when she won her Oscar..Yes. Do I subscribe to her Goop newsletter...affirmative. Do I sound kinda crazy obsessed? Maybe lol.
B) I am notoriously getting cookbooks, with the intent to become a gourmet chef.. but they always just sit on the shelf...maybe one recipe attempted, hamburger helper on the dinner table.
C) I need a blog mission to feel excited about!
and,
and,
D) Our family needs a kick in the butt when it comes to how & what we eat
So that's why :) Skimming through the book I realize I am allergic to some and will probably do the poor man's version of a few of the recipes, but hey, some of us weren't born into Hollywood royalty..but we can pretend!

I enjoy her too & I get her newsletter too ; ) It's good to think about what you eat and things like that, I try and make as much as I can from scratch!! xx
ReplyDeleteha! i'm sure what you make will turn out good, maybe even better yah!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to a great ride. Looking forward to see your food posts. :) When I learn a new recipe, I always do the poor man's version, too, omitting a little bit of this and substituting a little bit of that! Haha.

Oh, I have a girl crush too. I get the newsletter, I love the cookbook (hence my salad post this week) and I wish I could buy every outfit in the book.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! Looking forward to seeing what you come upwith!

i love gwyneth (and blythe, and the whole damn family!). i can't wait to see what you make :-) thanks for the link! <3333
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with cookbooks. I have so many but I don't use them often. I've always really liked Gwyneth too. Sliding Doors is one of my favourite movies.
