Pickpick

This didn't suck me in as fast as the first book (there's more action and less farm life). In the end, though, I loved knowing what the characters did next, and the slight quirks in the lore and science kept it intriguing. Sometimes I felt like I was reading The Passage or a Walking Dead episode but not in a bad way. #mommyreads #Tokyomom #vampires

I picked this up at the end of last summer and am only just now getting to check it out more thoroughly. I saw the author show off a dwarf blueberry bush on Canadian TV and was immediately on board. She has some great planting tips for small yards. We'll see what I can take away for next year's balcony garden. #tokyomom #mommyreads #containergarden #gardening

Attempting murky Monday meal planning in the land of neverending typhoon and overpriced produce. 😭🍅🙅 Despite all the nuts 💀, these salads are calling my name. I'm attempting to flag recipes with ingredients that exist (affordably) over here which is a bit easier with this book than Isa Does It (which gahhh is my fav!) Holy lack of dark greens and copious beans 😥 #cookbook #vegetarian #tokyomom #rainydaysandmondays

GlitteryOtters How do you like that cookbook? We have half a dozen of her books and mostly like them, but find the recipe testing seems to vary (some books are great with no problems, others have tons of issues as written & require some major adjustments, so I am always a little nervous trying a new-to-me cookbook from her!) 8y
Vexingcircumstance I love her books so much! 8y
alanacristin @GlitteryOtters I haven't made much yet since I got it just before giving birth 😮 I really love Isa Does It! but I often make modifications to recipes since i can't eat nuts but i do eat dairy. This one has less coconut milk and oil and avocado quantity with the goal of reducing calories, but i feel free to add back in fats when cooking. If you're up for trying a few new things, it's worth checking it out at the library to preview 👍 8y

alanacristin @Vexingcircumstance me too! They make me so hungry 😂 8y
Vexingcircumstance I have to modify some. I use too because I can't eat gluten (medical reasons not by choice). I really need to buy her books. I'm not vegan but I love her books and can usually modify vegan recipes pretty Easily (except baking of course). I can't eat dairy either so for that began recipes are useful. 8y
