As a member of the Cookbook Challenge community I've pledged to cook 6-9 recipes that I already own. I'm excited to participate because I have recipes torn out of magazines & clipped on Pinterest that are more than 5+ years old I've been meaning to try, but always pass over to make my old stand-bys.

For February I'm a day late for Valentine's Day with this Best-Ever Vanilla Pudding recipe I tore out of the February 2014 issue of Better Homes & Gardens SEVEN years ago! I found the link by googling the recipe name while I was creating this post.

Conclusions:

1. This made so many dirty dishes! A teaspoon, tablespoon, butter knife, whisk, ladle, 1 cup dry measuring cup, 2 cup liquid measuring cup, saucepan, 1 small mixing bowl, and 6 ramekins.
2. Despite the dirty dishes drudgery I have to look forward too, this WAS worth it! So creamy, rich, and decadent! My immediate thought was "WTF have I been eating all my life if THIS is vanilla pudding?!"

I've started in January with a Skillet Lemon Artichoke Chicken recipe I tore out of a Kroger employee magazine my husband receives. This recipe was probably only 6 months old, but since I had 90% of the ingredients in my house already it felt like a great place to start! (I also found it online while I was creating this post!)

Conclusions:
It was great! It was as quick as the recipe said it would be, minimal prep, & made a filling serving that fit into my current eating plan. My husband raved about how good the artichokes were in this dish. I'm likely to make this again when we need a change of pace from our usual fare.
