Let’s Head to the Kitchen: Time for a Cookbook Roundup
October is National Cookbook Month!
I love all kinds of cookbooks. I love ones with healthy recipes and those with fully indulgent recipes. And what about the pictures? I especially like cookbooks that have pictures so I have a clue what I’m trying to make.
Now, I don’t claim to be a fabulous cook. In fact, I’m pretty plain when it comes to my tastes. I am happy eating the same thing most of the time, but my family not so much. Still I don’t do a great job with variety and flavor.
To be honest, I mostly love sweets and treats. I love to bake cookies and bars and breads and muffins. Breakfast foods and desserts would be my preference but I can’t live on those alone! And even though my approach to healthy living is not about restriction and lists of what to eat and not to eat, knowing that I have a sweet tooth, I like to have healthier options when it comes to dessert. Sometimes I’ll indulge in a few bites (or even a full portion) of the real thing, but other times I prefer limiting the sugar and unnecessary stuff.
It's time for a cookbook roundup. Check out some of my favorites. #cookbook #recipes Click To Tweet
Like I said, I’m no cook. I’m not a registered dietician or nutritionist. I don’t prescribe meal plans or anything like that, but I do enjoy browsing cookbooks and various recipes. And so in honor of National Cookbook Month, I gathered a list of some highly recommended cookbooks from my friends. Some you can grab for free; others you’ll need to purchase if you’re interested. Some of the cookbooks are full of healthy options while others aren’t advertised as such.
