Welcome to Litsy!

Saturday morning means time to try a new recipe for a late and leisurely breakfast. I don‘t own a waffle iron, but I easily adjusted the recipe to bake waffle sticks instead. The batter includes blended dates, and then the waffles are served with a delicious toffee sauce.

🤔 Sometimes I scratch my head and wonder why I purchased something. Exhibit A - beautiful book and I would LOVE to eat in Deb‘s kitchen. But I‘m unlikely to make the majority of the recipes in this book because despite the title they aren‘t THAT unfussy. I don‘t have time to make my own pea tortellini or galette crust, or to track down green plantains, etc. (Well, maybe I would if I spent less time on Litsy, but let‘s be realistic.) 😜

Homemade broth for chicken noodle soup tomorrow. I adore this cookbook. ❤️

Didn't think to take a pic of my Dutch baby with creamed mushrooms last night when it came out of the oven but it makes pretty leftovers too. #lunchbreakreadingbreak

Whenever I hear Smitten Kitchen I always think I hear Smitten Kittens. So for #smittenlove here are my cats, who aren't always friends but sometimes get along. #literarylove #catsoflitsy

The salad and dessert sections look particularly good

1. You and hidden bodies by caroline kenepes, any Morgan matson except the unexpected everything
2. Nuts, seeds,.popcorn, dark chocolate, gummy stuffs (not haribo though) coffee, tea.
3. I always need more measuring cups or spoons, zester, garlic press. I deeply love kitchen gadgets
4. I pretty much love all book and food things!! I've been collecting retro cookbooks and pamphlets

And that‘s a wrap!! Another @DeweysReadathon in the books! 🎉🎉📚📚 I finished two books and started a third, and also spent a chunk of time reading two of my cookbooks.

Quite happy with my hours, considering all the other things I did yesterday. Happy Sunday, Littens! And congrats to all those who participated - big or small goals - it‘s always a fun time!

Doing #feedareader shopping this weekend. @Rachel.Rencher let me know if there is a book(s) your dying for! My notes say cheese grater and piping stuff, still yeah or nay? ? Anything special you need/want!

Leftover soup for lunch on this sunny but cool day.

The recipe is from the tagged cookbook: Spiced carrot and pepper soup with a couscous swirl.

@TricksyTails you are THE BEST!!! I LOVE Smitten Kitchen, but didn't have any of her books - until now! I'm so excited, this is such a thoughtful gift. Thank you so much!

I love this cookbook! Great recipes, clear instructions, gorgeous photos! Tonight was roasted tomato soup with a homemade French boule. Reading Sourdough has made me want to bake 😄 #cookbooks

At 30% off, I couldn‘t resist! 👨🏾‍🍳 @Cinfhen Only having leafed thru, the recipes so far look accessible & tasty.

A little pre-book breakfast club (since neither of us has read the book we picked yet but didn‘t want to put off breakfast any longer 💁). Super simple recipe for loaded breakfast potato skins in the latest Smitten Kitchen cookbook, but I‘m a fan of pretty much everything in the book anyway ... I switched out sour cream and bacon for hollandaise and fried squash.

What‘s your favorite cookbook?! #readandchill #inthekitchen #cookbooks #coolgirlsread #books #readwinerepeat #traveler #weekendvibes #lifeofadventure #silentbookclub #bibliophile #booknerds #bookclub #newsletters #pleasesubscribe #bookstagram #cozy #lately #librarianlife #reading #somanybookssolittletime #whatareyoureading #thingswelove

Second recipe made from this book, which is due back at the library tomorrow. My favorite line in the directions re the cooled brittle: “lift it off in one pleasing sheet and break into chunks.” ❤️

NYE lunch from this book and it was delicious. Pork Tenderloin Agrodolce with Squash Rings. It was my first Deb Perelman recipe (even though I own her first book. Because Cookbook Hoarder. #sorrynotsorry) but it won‘t be my last. This book was borrowed from the library but I‘ll likely break down and buy it. Picture of finished dish on my Instagram.

I love everything about Deb Perelman‘s writing style, recipes and gorgeous photography. It‘s great to make one of her recipes without constantly refreshing my phone. ✨✨✨✨✨

Oh, just drooling over my Christmas present at 6 in the morning on Boxing Day. Like you do... heading out for a grocery run this morning. I love Smitten Kitchen and this cookbook looks divine.

Just a few of the books and bookish gifts that were exchanged this holiday season. Looking forward to trying out the new smitten kitchen cookbook and to using these bookish tattoos. Happy and merry to those celebrating today! ❄️ ⛄️ 🎄

After a busy Christmas morning, settling in with a new cookbook!

1. Barbies townhouse, also my last Santa present 😣😣
2. Hmmmm that would depend on the person but I gave my sis Harold and Maude for her bday
3. 42 baby!
4. Yeah, born in the LBC die in the LBC

#JingleShelves I had fun putting together a #wishlist I LOVE beautiful cookbooks with their glossy photos and creative ways of combining ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes😋I'm currently coveting these 3👩🏼‍🍳💜

1)115 (5 more than this year)
2)Hannibal, the worst witch, in miladys chamber
3) mystery, cyberpunk is on the popsugar list this year so cyberpunk
4) four
5)...?

Just saw that there's a recipe for strawberry cloud cookies in this book! Don't those sound amazing??!!!!

What is the best kind of book? The kind where you get to chat with the author about going to Italy for food, Kansas City BBQ and just hear about her methods in general for recipe development (lots of testing, thank goodness). Adored seeing Deb Perelman live today. Love me some Smitten Kitchen.

DEB! She is so quick and bright and hilarious and her new book is straight up fun. Here are a few recipes to hook you:

1. fall-toush salad w/ delicata squash + brussels sprouts 😍.
2. grandma-style chicken noodle soup.
3. herb + garlic baked camembert.
4. dry-rub sweet potato steaks w/ green bean slaw.
5. caramelized cabbage risotto.
6. bacony bakes pintos w/ the works.
7. chocolate peanut butter icebox cake...

I️ could go on + on + on...

Browsing one of the two cookbooks I picked up at Costco this week while enjoying a mildly spiked hot cocoa: Trader Joe‘s organic hot cocoa, a splash of Grand Marnier, and a cinnamon stick, topped with a vanilla marshmallow. Yum!

I made one of the recipes for lunch and had lots of happy bellies: Winter slaw with farro. I ❤️ The smitten kitchen blog, and this cookbook looks great, too!

New Smitten Kitchen is 👌. Trying these this weekend!

Count me among Deb Perelman's most loyal fans. (I couldn't even tell you the number of her recipes that have become family favorites.) With incredible charm & a passion for cooking, Perelman shares recipes for food that you really want to eat. Her new collection is fille with over a hundred recipes for everything from breakfast to dinner to dessert. I've just started cooking from it and have already found so many new family favorites! - S.B.

AND THIS ONE YAAAAAY (guys I love #cookbooks so much, and especially love Smitten Kitchen) #litsycooks
