101 Christmas Recipes

I recently came across this cookbook. And I had to stop, and drool over it! :) Yes, I really did. The recipes look so delish! I saw it at the JoAnn. Unfortunately, I didn't pick it up. I should have! And now, it's out of stock. :(

Can you see the luck I've been having lately? It's ridiculous! But that's life. Right? I've been stalking my local stores. No lie! I really want the "101 Christmas Recipes" cookbook. I guess, I could always go online, and buy it.

Oh, maybe I can add this to my "Christmas Wishlist." That could work right? You know, if Santa brought me this cookbook, he'd get some of those yummy cookies! ♫

The Girl is After My Heart!

Last week while we were on our adventure, my Mom and I saw this book. They wanted $22, because the Toy Store was on the Plaza. I knew I could get it cheaper. I have a Barnes and Noble Membership. And well, I just knew, some place had to have it for less.

Good thinking on my part. :) Earlier this week, I went to Wal-Mart. I needed water, bread, and ice. And while I was in those killer lines, I found this book. Stuck in with the magazines. Oh, and I had My 'Rella with me. She LOVED this cookbook! Totally geared towards little girls. She was just over the moon with it! All smiles. Telling me about all the "recipeses."

I couldn't resist. Especially when I noticed, it was only $10! Are you kidding me? Well, we just had to make something. So when we went to My Music Man's house to check it, you know, I'm supposed to be "House Sitting," we decided to cook. First, we checked the house. Picked up the mail. That sort of thing. And then, we raided the pantry. Thank God this man likes his comida!

Anyway, we made a couple of things out of the book. It really is so much fun. I can't wait to try it out with more of the ninitas. I know we are going to have a blast! I just need to get another copy of the book. My Compadres were pretty happy too. Who wouldn't be? We arrived with lots of goodies!

When I got ready to leave, My 'Rella said, "Nana, I loved today! We had so much fun! I can't wait to cook again. My second favorite thing in the world, is cooking with you. My first is cuddling and reading with you." Seriously! My heart grew about 100 times. I LOVE that girl! And now, I think we are both Cookbook Collectors. ♫

Pit Stop in a Southern Kitchen

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I LOVE Cookbooks. I've been collecting them for years. Yes, I said years. I especially like the old ones. I find them at Thrift stores and yard sales. But I also go browsing through the bookstore for some fun new ones.

This is one that I recently got as a gift. Yes, it's my favorite cookbook ever! Because Martha and Carol have both included family recipes, and family stories. It's a nice book to just curl up and read. Isn't that weird? That I like to sit and read cookbooks.

Anyway, there are so many recipes that I want to try. I've made a few of the recipes. And they are so yummy! Maybe it's just because I LOVE Southern Food. But this is a really good buy! Run out and get yourself a copy. I promise that you won't be disappointed. ♫
