Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a new week! It was quite an eventful weekend for me and just to share a little bit of news, in about a month, I'll be cooking & baking up in a bigger kitchen! We will be moving out of our condo/apartment and into a single family home just a stone's throw from the Chicago border - literally! I'm a little sad that we will be giving up our Chicago address but the up side is that we won't have to share any walls with neighbors!With our upcoming move, I'm dreading the painstaking task of packing. One room I'm not looking forward to packing is our second bedroom, which is where I have my vast collection of cookbooks. I have so many that to make all the dishes I've bookmarked in my cookbooks could easily last a lifetime! Sometimes it makes me wish that I didn't collect so many cookbooks and solely use recipes found online.
One cooking/baking resource I rely on is Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen. They have such informative tips, tricks and hints, as well as helpful product reviews. What I really like about Cook's Illustrated & America's Test Kitchen is that they have so many mediums to reach their audience (taken from Cook's Illustrated):
