Welcome to Litsy!

Today is National Cookie Exchange Day according to @Andrew65 . I am no baker, so what I usually give on holidays or birthdays is a book. The books in this collage are ones I bought this Christmas with each person‘s particular likes & interests in mind. #Winterreadathon #Winterreadathondailychallenge #Dec22 #giftingbooks #bookgiftexchange

My finished soup from earlier today is Creamy Potato Soup with Rustic Chive Pesto from the tagged cookbook. Mark Bittman cookbooks are perfect for when you need to cook from the pantry & want lots of options for ingredients. This simple vegetarian soup is enhanced by the chunky pesto & was a good use for more of the 5lb bag of Yukon Golds I have in my pantry & a bunch of chives I needed to use. Potato soup is such good comfort food. 😬🥔🍲Link👇🏻

Alex & Eliza has been on my #TBR for a while now, and hopefully the cookbooks will help with my cooking slump! #bookhaul

And it's on the stove. Should have just enough time to finish my book before dinner. 😊

Cooking up some black eyed peas and collard greens for New Year's Day dinner. Love this cookbook. #fastrecipes #fastandhealthy.

I have to cook everything fast so I have time to read all.the.books. And these stacks don't even show my library ebooks...or a few others that are scattered around the house...📚😛📚😜 📚#librarylove #somethingforsept @TheSpinecrackersBookClub @RealLifeReading

I love this book. Got it as a baby present and it is so perfect for families. Tells you what to prep while another thing is cooking, recommends sides, dishes are easy, and the time it takes is accurate. We use this at least 3 times a week. Also tons of veggie options.

A small selection of my blue books. These challenges make we want to reorder my books by color apartment therapy style. Some fav fiction and my go to cookbook in this pic. #somethingforsept #bluebooks #septphotochallenge

#Day29 #AugustPhotoChallenge #impulsebuybook I think most of my book and e-book purchases are impulse buys.😀 Where I run into the biggest challenges controlling my impulses are Costco's cookbook table & the sale shelf at Anthropologie. Although I have WAY too many cookbooks, something about them being discounted tempts me into buying them. I've gotten better at walking by, but this is just a sampling of my🍴📚 impulses. #AugustofPages #cookbooks
