Usually, I like to sink my teeth into holiday romance novels. I love their feel‑good themes—the snowy wonderlands, the cozy meet‑cutes, the guaranteed happily‑ever‑after by the final chapter. You know, just like real life. Yah right. It’s fiction, people, and that’s why we love it.
But this year I decided to mix things up and toss a few cookbooks into the stack. I love entertaining during the holiday season, and I’m always hunting for interesting dishes to add to my repertoire. So off I went in search of some good holiday cookbooks.
How many of you out there learned to cook using the Betty Crocker cookbook? I did. Maybe it was because it was the only cookbook my Mom owned (wedding gift) or maybe it is because a lot of the recipes were basic and pretty straight forward. Either way I don't care it was there and I used it as my foodie bible. Turns out that Betty Crocker also has a Christmas cookbook. There are a few interesting recipes,nothing that’s going to blow your snow‑covered socks off, but it’s worth a look.
For those of you interested, there is an updated Betty Crocker cookbook called Betty Crocker Cookbook: 1500 recipes for the way you cook today. There are a lot of wonderful cookbooks out there but the Betty Crocker cookbook is truly designed for those who are either new to cooking or who are like myself, cooking challenged. So you may want to give it a try.
And don't think for a second that I am going to give up on my quest for the perfect holiday novel. If and when I find one that is worth sharing, I will let you know so keep an eye out on my blog.
