  • Have you ever walked through a graveyard and seen recipes on gravestones?  To Die For: A Cookbook of Gravestone Recipes is a different kind of cookbook that honors those who died, and their recipes are shared on their gravestones. It doesn’t just share a recipe it shares about the bakers/cooks and their lives. Recipes inside this cookbook include Gramma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, Fleda’s Sugar Cookies, Glazed Blueberry Pie, Texas Sheet Cake, Cinnamon Roll Cake, Spaghetti Chicken Casserole and more. This cookbook is a reminder of how we can still be close to those we lost through cooking their recipes or their favorite meals. When I cook my Nana’s snickerdoodles or my Grandma’s key lime pie I feel like they are with me in the room with me. What do you cook to remind you of those you've lost?

  • Hate cooking? Then take a sneak peek at Simple Southern Slow Cooker Meals: Mouthwatering Comfort Foods for Weeknight Chefs by Hannah Turton. She’s known online for her “resting chef face” as she doesn’t love cooking but has to feed her family. Recipes include Seafood Boil, Carolina Pot Roast, Cheddar Chicken Sandwiches, Taco Casserole, Turton BBQ Ribs, Rainy Day Chicken Noodle Soup, Southern-Style Green Beans, Hot Honey Sweet Potatoes, Chocolate Volcano Cake, and Hassle-Free Hot Chocolate. Even though I love cooking there are days I just don’t want to, so being able to cook an easy meal in the crockpot is perfect for me. Do you have a crockpot?

  • Want to see what you get when a comedian writes a cookbook? Then take a peek at this look-through of Your Pasta Sucks: A "Cookbook.” I wasn’t sure what to expect but there was a ton of really helpful information and I definitely laughed a few times while I was flipping through. The recipes look so good and I can’t wait to try a few. Here are some that caught my attention Aunt Cindy’s Baked Mostaccioli, Cotoletta, Lasagna, Polenta, Pasta alla Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Pasta al Limone, Cherrie’s Struffoli, and Matteo’s Macaroni and Cheese. Which recipe do you want to make first?
