It's time to get organized so I can start the Year of the Cookbook. I think the best way (well...the easiest way, I'm sure there are much better ways) for me to do this is to list out all of my cookbooks here, and then update the list with my progress throughout the year. I'll choose cookbooks at random when I'm doing my weekly menu planning and go through them that way.

I love that you took the time to do this. You crack me up, Cassie.
That's insane!!
What's crazy is that I have the same amount and yet we have maybe 3 of the same ones. There are just too many cookbooks out there! I've decided to put mine in alphabetical order and go in that order.
Lisa -- I totally smell a cookbook swap in our future!!!
I've got a boat load of cookbooks, too! I'm afraid to count how many as I'm pretty certain I'm pushing 200 and that doesn't include those magazine cookbooks.
I like how you listed all of yours out and are slowly making something from each one.
Do you find that you've made something off of a blog that was actually a recipe from one of your cookbooks but you didn't realize it? It happens to me often. I think it's the photos.
