This is the veggie face we submitted to The Great Big Vegetable Challenge's photo contest.
I'm taking a brief break from packing to wish you all a wonderful week. I will be back here next Sunday or Monday after lazing by the lake in New Hampshire.
While I'm gone, how about you tell me what your can't-live-without cookbook is and why? Share recipes, too, if you want! Go crazy!
My favorite cookbook is a fundraising cookbook put out by a nursing home. It's the kind where some recipes call for "oleo" instead of margarine. Several of my most-used recipes come from there: the cran-rasp jello salad we have at Christmas and Thanksgiving, two muffin recipes, etc.
ReplyDeleteI have two go-to cookbooks and they're both of the community variety: one from my parents' church and the other from my mom's sorority. I also get the Taste of Home magazine, which I reference mostly for potluck dishes, but will leaf through frequently when I need inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation!
I'm not a huge cookbook person. ButI've been using online recipe sites more often. One that has been great for me in recent years is Theresa Kingma's Dairy-Free, Egg-Free Kid Pleasing Recipes. There is a great substitute for creamy noodles. The kids won't eat it and hubby and I really like it. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip.
Have a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the face - its brilliant!!
oh and my fave cookbook?
Anything by Elizabeth David
That's an awesome veggie photo! My latest cookbook crush is Veganomicon. Enjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun vacation!
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit, but I use a Rachel Ray cookbook most often. Anything I can make quickly is a favorite (even though it often takes me longer than her 30 minutes!).
Well, this is embarrassing, but the one I refer to most is Fanny Farmer, for all that basic info I can't seem to keep in my head. Old-fashioned, eh?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteWhen you come back check out gluten-free month over at www.donmillsdivareviews.com - my SIL is a recipe developer and she is going to share her best gluten-free recipes all month. If you know of anyone who might be interested please spread the word.
Thanks!

I'll have to look up Veganomicon and Elizabeth David.
ReplyDeleteJennifer--I LOVE Fannie Farmer!
I have a Ronald McDonald House Charity cookbook that I love. It has a lot of sections, full of tons of variety.
ReplyDeleteThe best part? The covers have a seam horizontally across the center of the book to fold out and stand the book up all by itself when it's open on your counter.
