Favorite Cookbooks
I still love a cookbook. I mean who doesn’t love flipping through the pages of a very used cookbook with favorite recipes and fresh ideas we' haven’t thought of before!!! OMG I love growing my cookbook collection and getting new inspirations for all of the things we eat in our home! Anything from snacks to breakfast to dinner! I love it!!!
I have compiled some of my favorite cookbooks to share them with you all and I know you will not be disappointed!

There are so many great recipes in here but some of our family favorites are:
After School Banana Bread
French Toast Casserole
Meatloaf
Green beans amadane
Sunday Beef Tips

Aunt Opal’s Banana Pudding
I am a Joanna Gaines fan and this cookbook is SO well done. She did such a great job on her second book. The meals are great for entertaining or a family dinner! Here are some of our family favorites:
Soft Pretzels
Zucchini Bread
Braided Loaf
Coffee Cake
Beef Stroganof
Weeknight Salmon
Friendsgiving Casserole
Homemade Cranberry Sauce
French Onion Soup
Everything in this book is gluten free, and free of refined sugars. It makes making a meal for kids with sensitivities super seamless! I highly encourage grabbing a copy of this one and her other books ASAP! Here are some of my favorite recipes from True Comfort:
Game Day Sheet Pan Nachos
Espresso Overnight Oats
French Toast Casserole
Oatmeal Bowl with Warm Berry Sauce
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Chocolate Mousse Pots
Coffee Energy Bites
Braised Red Cabbage
Shredded Chicken Enchilada Casserole
This is a great universal cookbook. It goes through ALL of the methods and explanations for cooking and baking with detailed directions including photos. It is a great resources for experienced and not experienced chefs and bakers! I highly suggest this cookbook for a wedding, bridal shower, anniversary, or new home gift! It is the perfect cookbook for anyone learning or experienced!
I can’t even highlight my favorite recipes because there ARE WAY TOO MANY! This book taught me how to make sourdough and how to really perfect a stir fry!
I have always been a Rachael Ray fan. I think all of her work is great. She has worked really hard in her career to make a good name for herself and her recipes are easy to follow. Watching her on TV is my favorite but this cookbook is so beautiful! She has a series called A Week in a Day and she goes through a whole week’s worth of food in one day and it’s AMAZING. Check it out on discovery+. Anyway, I have cooked a decent amount out of this book and although these recipes take more time than others I usually make they have all been delicious. My favorites have been the Italian Sausage Burgers with Provolone and Broccoli Rabe, Lasagna with Meat Ragu, Carbonara, Gnocchi (she has a butternut gnocchi I want to try too), and roasted green beans and tomatoes!
I hope I encouraged you to grab yourself some cookbooks and dig in! There is nothing sweeter than a homemade meal even if it’s not good the first time you made it! Happy Cooking!!!!
