We have so many types of equipment, dishes, gadgets, and other kitchen odds and ends that sometimes it is hard to find space for things to go. Well, I am happy to say we solved that problem.  Now things are orderly and clean; our numerous tools have found happy homes. During our half week clean I was going through our collection and kept finding various pieces of cast iron cookware tucked away in cabinets, back shelves, and drawers no one seemed to know existed.  It's as if we own every possible, pot, pan, muffin tin, skillet, wok, roaster, or any other mold they could find to pour molten iron into.   And the sheer number of cooking vessels had me thinking: "I could probably cook on a different piece of cast iron cook ware everyday for a month."  Well I actually said it out loud and before you know it I had a challenge to do just what I was thinking; sort of. 

I was informed of a great story coming up about the Southern Skillet and I wanted to challenge myself to cook at least 1 meal a day at my house using a piece of cast iron cook ware.  So, I brought home a box full of pieces and I plan on cooking exclusively with cast iron for the month of May; talk about "old school."  I will stop in and give ya'll updates on my meals with pics and possibly some quick recipes.  I hope this would inspire ya'll to pull out your cast iron and also I'd love to hear some of the many ways you like to use this iconic piece of Southern cookware.
