    Welcome to Kitchen Lit a cookbook review blog for today’s home chef. As someone who didn’t really considered myself a good cook when I was in college –  my skills have improved so much! I hope to inspire you to try new cookbooks, recipes, classes and techniques.  If you have any cookbook, cooking class or general cooking questions always feel free to ask. I love to help others enjoy cooking as much as I do.

  • Growing up I don’t remember ever hearing much about protein…but now it seems to be talked about all the time! But if you’re a carb lover like me you can still struggle with getting enough protein each day, that’s where cookbooks like The High-Protein Plate: 100 Satisfying Everyday Recipes can be a lifesaver. 

Let’s take a look inside at all the tips and recipes it provides. A few of the recipes included are Savory Herb and Turkey-Bacon Quiche, Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie, Koren Beef with Glass Noodles, Rosemary-Garlic Lamb Chops with Veggies, Honey-Harissa Salmon with Asparagus, Mexican Meatballs in Creamy Enchilada Sauce, Marry Me Chicken, Southwest Steak Salad Bowls, Slow Cooker Beef Stew, and Fudge Brownies. Looking through this cookbook made me so hungry and I’m not sure about you but the Mexican Meatballs in Creamy Enchilada Sauce are calling my name. What do you want to make first?



Welcome to @mykitchenlit! ✨ I’m a cookbook collector with 250+ titles and a love for cooking, baking, and foodie adventures. Here you’ll find honest reviews, curated recommendations, and kitchen inspiration for every level. 🍴 Let’s savor every recipe together!
