Cookbooks to get Inspired

I mentioned the other day that I just wasn't feeling creative in the kitchen possibly because of a little stress over Baby Lucy.  She's fine, just a little surgery.  Her stitches should come out in a few days and she'll be back to climbing all over everything, pestering our 2 older cats and just being a kitten again.

To get motivated I thought I'd share a few of my favorite cookbooks...Not that I stick to the recipes all of the time...But I love a good cookbook.

First is my own cookbook, Mary's Real Food Cookbook.  It was my first attempt at something bigger that my blog.  I had a great time creating the book and look forward to making another (only this time bigger and less expensive).


Next is a cookbook that I won in a giveaway,


Check out my recipe post: Hot Wassail

Organic Cookbooks:




Gluten Free Cooking:




Canning and Preserving:






Slow-Cooker / Crock Pot Meals:


Raw Food:

    I love the ball book and Preserving the Harvest (another favorite of mine is Small Batch Preserving by Ellie Topp, it's great when you don't want to make 8 metric tons of salsa like in the ball book!)

    I'll be checking out the GF books!
