I have an obsession. I love buying cookbooks. And not just the easy-to-make weeknight recipe books but super hard and complicated cookbooks produced by amazing chefs that have some of the best restaurants in the nation (some of them ~ the world). When I buy these cookbooks I read through them with post-it notes flagging countless recipes I want to cook. But I rarely cook them. I’m not even a very good cook. I also have run out of space for them on my bookshelf. So before the cookbooks take over my house I think I should use them… cook with them.
So here’s my project: to cook every recipe in my fancy-smancy cookbooks. And to document them here, as I hope my blog obsession will force me to actually cook these recipes so that I can blog about them.

Olive Cheese Bread
I tried another recipe by the Pioneer Woman (see her recipe with MUCH better pictures here).
I roughly chopped up black olives, pimiento-stuffed green olives, and 2 stalks of green onions. Then everything was combined with butter, mayo, and grated cheese. Needless to say, I made quite a big mess before it was done.
One loaf of bread was sliced lengthwise.
And the olive cheese mixture was spread on top of the bread and baked (at 325 degrees) for 25 minutes.
