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

mcctrish I love to give books as gifts but I‘m equally thrilled that school is cancelled tomorrow ( snowmagedden is predicted) so I‘m going to bake some of the cookies I planned but didn‘t actually think I‘d ever get to. It‘s a Christmas miracle 🤣🤣 2y

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👇🏻

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

GlitteryOtters 👍👍 That sounds so good! We had Hoppin' John pizza last night & tonight for our New Years feasts, but this sounds really delicious, too!!! 😋 8y
Blaire @GlitteryOtters it turned out really well. Nice smokiness and depth that can be hard to get with vegetarian chili. 8y

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.

DebinHawaii I love Mark Bittman and this book is a favorite! 🍴📚❤️ 8y

#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

KVanRead That used to be me too! But nowadays I seem to find so many good recipes online I've been doing that less. 8y
Kirstin I collect cookbooks too and I read them like novels. 💜 8y
DebinHawaii @KVanRead I am much better than I used to be and find a lot online too-but nothing will replace the joy of a new cookbook for me! 😀👍 8y

DebinHawaii @Kirstin Me too! I read them probably more than I cook from them. 😀👍 8y
Kirstin @DebinHawaii -Same! I use them as inspiration. Now I only buy them if they're really old or really odd. Lol 8y
KVanRead @Kirstin @DebinHawaii I do still have a weakness for the odd ones - they are the best 😝 8y
