I have way too many. My aunt however gave me a good suggestion, when buying them to have a flick through and be honest with how many you'd actually want to cook. Stops me buying the fancy chef ones, so most of my collection is at least usable.
There is a selection that gets pulled out on the regular; the PON ones, hairy bikers diet ones, when I'm meal planning. I get really bored of cooking the same things (but then hate the effort in trying new things).
Others have sat there ages. I love flicking through and thinking about cooking them, but end up put off, either complex or I don't have the ingredients in.
I do have a hoard selection of good food magazines, but I'm almost overwhelmed by the choice of recipes....so I end up searching on the website. I debate cutting out all the recipes but that's another chore!
Don't even go near all the food pins I got on pinterest. Tornado potatoes look so yummy, but I can't ever see me putting so much effort into essentially a side dish.
I have dreams where I have an amazing kitchen
Where I'm always blending the latest pinterest smoothies, making amazing packed lunch salads with all sorts of add ins, like nuts and balsamic dressings. Dinner is always a special occasion with sides to match, plus pudding. There's always fresh baked goods available and a wide selection of drinks. Oh and despite all this domestic wizardy, I barely put on a pound. Clearly, I think cook books are the way to get there!
