    “The cookies are shared with loved ones, and the Advent calendar reveals something new each night leading up to the holiday,” Barbara Grunes & Viriginia Van Vynckt authors of Cookie Advent Cookbook. Growing up we never really had fancy Advent calendars, but they are something that I have come to love as an adult. I have had the kindle version of The Cookie Advent Cookbook for a few months now but just recently saw it in the hardcopy and immediately bought it. All of the doors open on the front cover to reveal the cookie of the day. You and your family will love the fun this cookbook provides. The Cookie Advent Cookbook…

    Food That Anchors

    “Food is a universal language that bypasses tension or silence. It bridges the chasm of differences,” Ellen C Lee from Food That Anchors. I was gifted this cookbook and am so glad that I have it in my collection now. The introduction by Ellen is one of the most honest introductions I think I have ever read in any book. She discussed her challenging upbringing and how even in the difficult times they always sat down to dinner and in a way that anchored her family. We all experienced different childhoods each with their own problems – some more traumatic than others. I think her introduction shows how one small action such as…

  • Here’s a look inside The Bradshaw Family Cookbook: Our Favorite Recipes for Game Days, Weekdays, and Any Day. If you are a football fan, then you know Terry Bradshaw – he led the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl championships. But did you know he and his family love to cook? In this cookbook they share all of their favorites recipes for all of us to try including Brunch Punch, Baked Cinnamon Doughnuts, Ham and Old English Cheese Casserole, Crispy Egg Rolls with Shrimp, Sprouts, and Peanut Butter, Finger-Lickin’ Barbecue Bourbon Chicken Wings, Smoked Maple-Bourbon Pork Belly Bites, Apple Butter Bread, Havarti and Gouda Mac ‘n’ Cheese, Fried Green Garden Tomatoes, Fried Bologna Sandwich on Texas Toast, Wild Blackberry Muffins with Powdered Sugar, and Louisiana Coconut Cream Pie. As you can see, I had a tough time narrowing down the recipes I wanted to mention – I have no idea what I am going to make first. Probably will let my sister pick!

I can’t wait to dig in and start cooking and I’ll probably start with the Chocolate Root Beer Cake as it looks so good! What do you want to try first?

I love Italian food – it’s one of my favorites and one of the things I miss the most about living in NYC was the amazing Italian food we had a block away. I’ve been a huge fan of Christian Petroni since I first saw him on Food Network and was excited to check out his first cookbook. Trust me this is going to make you want to run to your kitchen. A few of the recipes I am looking forward to making are: Shrimp Parm, Aglio Olio, Chicken Francese, Fried Calamari, Fried Meatballs, and of course the Fresh Mozzarella Sticks.

Rarely do you find a cookbook that is as interesting as a regular book even when you aren’t even cooking from it (yet), however that is exactly what you get with Hemingway's Spanish Table: A Culinary Journey in 60+ Recipes. As a huge fan of Hemingway – The Sun Also Rises is one of my favorite novels – I knew I had to add this cookbook to my collection. A few of the recipes included are Sopa De Ajo (Garlic Soup), Papa Doble (Hemingway Daiquiri), Croquetas De Jamon (Ham Croquettes), Solomillo Al Whiskey (Pork Tenderloin with Whiskey Sauce), Torrijas (French Toast), Almejas Con Chorizo (Clams with Sausage), Pimientos Rellenos (Stuffed Roasted Peppers), Pisto (Ratatouille), Tarte De Queso (Basque “Burnt” Cheesecake), and Paella Valenciana (Chicken and Rabbit Rice). I hope this sneak peek sparks your interest as this is a cookbook that you definitely want in your collection!

Funny story, I grew up in Augusta and never golfed until I moved away for college. Haven't played in ages, but spring is making me want to get some clubs again. 

Here's a flashback to my 2017 visit to @themasters. It was such a fun day!

Don't forget to phone home from the course as it shows up on caller id as Augusta National.
