Welcome to Litsy!

My Christmas book haul! I also got a B&N gift card, yay! And a sweatshirt that says “bookish”. Merry Christmas to me! 😀🎄❄️

I‘ve been having fun cooking some of things from the Love and Lemons Cookbook. Tonight was Mexican Corn Salad and Pickled Onions. Also salsa Fresca, diced avocado, and a cheese quesadilla, not from this cookbook. Yum!

Full of veggie recipes, many vegan ones too, it‘s set up in sections about each fruit or veggie. I can‘t wait to explore more! Also, the author is from Austin, local to me. 😋

2. I just bought a vegetarian cookbook after test driving the library copy, I‘m considering vegetarian...
3. My local new station WISC Channel 3, or online as I google events.
4. No snooze👍🏻.

The dressings chart from this cookbook I borrowed has paid off! I modified one and came up with this guac & cilantro version. So many uses - thin or thick. 😋 Last night I put it on a spicy shrimp salad.

Not a cookbook I‘ll purchase, but I really like this chart! It would make a terrific poster for the kitchen or pantry.

Vegetarian cookbook based on Donofrio's blog. She urges "cooking backwards" — start with what you have, or some beautiful thing from a market & then figure out how to build from there. It's the same approach that I take, which is why I appreciate cookbooks that have ingredients indexes. Lots of fresh herbs and citrus: "seasonal food still needs seasoning." Many recipes list vegan or GF options; the ones I tried were easy & delicious.

After my exciting weekend, I'm back to cooking on a small scale. Today I made mint pesto (with pistachios and green peas) served on toast with sliced roasted beets.

Can't wait to try out the recipes in this book! The cover is so pretty 😍

Yay! New COOKBOOK! 😁can't wait to try so many of the recipes, there are so many great ones in here.

Our new window is full of cookbooks and they are allllll sooooooo prettttttty!

i am relearning to love vegetables (and believe that i can cook them!)

Lots of great veggie recipes. If your ready to try something new and up your veggie game give it a try.
