Sweet as Pie

Last fall, I had lunch with Amanda, a coworker and friend.  She gave me some great tips on a number of things, but one of the most interesting things we talked about that day was her previous participation in a cooking blog.  Each week the group would pick a recipe out of one cookbook and everyone would then make that recipe and blog about it on their personal blogs.  I thought this sounded like a really fun thing, so after talking it over with Amanda and my BFF Jenny, we decided to start our own cooking club.  And so, the Sweet as Pie Cooking Club was born.  We’ve had a great response and already have 11 members.  The club will be cooking recipes from The Pioneer Woman and we’ll be doing it on a monthly basis for extra flexibility.  Although I rarely have trouble being motivated to cook, I’m excited to have a little structure to cook in, a reason to try things I might not otherwise try, an excuse to cook everything in the Pioneer Woman cookbook, and an opportunity to share it all with friends.  We posted our first month’s recipe selections today and I’m ready to hit the kitchen this weekend!  And you have all of my Sweet as Pie posts to look forward to!  If anyone out there is interested in joining or just following along, check out all the details on Sweet as Pie.
