Someone recently lamented to me that “Americans follow Oprah like sheep”. Really? A few days ago I breezed through my TiVo’d Oprah episode from last week that told the story of three professional chefs “living with” three ordinary families and making-over the family meals to be cheap, healthy and easy. There is no way that works. Especially for my family – “ordinary” would be a compliment in the kitchen to me. I decided to try the Chef Cat Cora’s 21 meal menu. Breakfast, lunch and dinner for a family of four for under $150. It is a multi-media extravaganza of What was Holly thinking? I will be posting the results daily over at Burbmom.net. Just click on the baaaaaa baaaaaa….

  1. Depending on how this goes for you, this might be life-changing for me.

    But please, let’s not give Oprah credit…

  2. Can I just say how much I love your kitchen!! LOL you guys are working away at your recipes and all I’m thinking is look at that great countertop!

  3. Love that Iron Chef woman. Give her a run for her money, Texas Holly! (PS I can turn a $30 meal for 5 into about 5 other follow-up meals.) LOL

  4. I’m excited to check on your progress. I LOVE Kat Cora. She’s my favorite Iron Chef, and I wish she got picked more in the show… I’ve seen quite enough of Bobby Flay, thank you very much.

  5. Sadly, I deleted that episode before knowing what it was really about. But then again, maybe NOT so sadly.

    I’ll have to check in on your progress!

  6. Cool! After I saw the episode I did go and download some of the recipes myself, although not all of them. I haven’t tried any yet but they look yummy!
