baking

While 2020 might not have been the most normal year, there were some good things that came out of it. One of the good things is that people started cooking more, learning different techniques, exploring different cuisines, and many people even learned how to cook. You can only eat carry out for so long!

In the hopes that the cooking movement continues, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite cookbooks. These are some of my old standbys that I go back to again and again and new standouts that I’ve recently been inspired by and cooking from. When I look at cookbooks sometimes I’ll cook a recipe directly from it, but most of the time it will spark inspiration. I hope these cookbooks do the same – inspire you to cook something new and find something you love.

After 2 1/2 years, I’m back! I stopped posting because, well life got in the way. As simple as that. A new job and a new house later, I’m back and even more excited to share delicious recipes.

I decided to start posting again because like everyone lately, I’ve been cooking up a storm. But when I share what I’m making with family and friends I always get questions. “How much olive oil did you use?” “What size pan did you use?” “Define golden…” So it got me thinking about what my Nana used to say, “cooking’s not hard, it just takes time.” So with that in mind, let’s all continue to cook together with recipes that make cooking fun and attainable.

While the idea of the blog will be primarily the same, delicious attainable recipes, I’m planning on adding some other new content. Think: wine reviews, cocktail recipes, recipe guides for holidays and parties, sharing some other food related content that’s inspiring me, the sky’s the limit!

If you’re reading this, thank you for sticking along for the journey, check back tomorrow for a fresh new recipe Rich and I are loving.

Check back tomorrow for a delicious new recipe!
