I have tons of cookbooks.  I love cookbooks and I’m also very prejudice about them.  While I have many that are just words – no pictures, I love the ones that have pictures, because, news flash, there is no denying it, we eat with our eyes first. 

In most cases, if it looks good, your instinct is to automatically think that it will taste good. (refer to picture above)

And we dive in.

So for those cookbook authors out there… make PICTURES your friend.

This unfairness towards cookbooks with pictures has gotten out of control over the years because when I say I have tons of cookbooks, I mean it, I must have over 150, if not more.

What can I say, cookbooks, like eating a whole jar of Nutella in one sitting, are my guilty pleasures.

HCB: Baby Lemon Cheesecake

Once in a while we get a free choice during our bake-along with the Heavenly Cake Bakers.  This is an opportunity to catch up or make something that has already been made before because you either a) pass it by b) you were to scare of it to begin with to make it.

This past weekend, I had 4 GLORIOUS days off.  And my agenda looked something like this by the end of thursday night:

Wake up late
Stay in my PJ’s – ALL DAY LONG
Watch TV – lots of TV
Watch movies
Read – Lots of reading!
Lay out in the sun (weather permitting)
Cook pick up phone order something to be delivered
Go to sleep and “repeat” for the next 3 days.

Ahhh – Heaven!

Gone to the Beach!

I have officially take today off from work, giving me FOUR DAYS of much needed vacation time.  What do I plan on doing? Well let's see, there will be 

Cooking (of course)

Reading (cooking books, of course)

Watching movies (not about cooking)

Maybe getting ready for the launch of the new Cooking Channel

In the meantime... I will be back here on Tuesday, if I can bring myself to take off my PJ's of course.

Happy Memorial Day guys!
