Cookbooks, a Recipe and Meatless Monday, Oh My!



As most of you know I have a serious love affair going with cookbooks. At the present time I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 not including the four+ 3-ring binders I have filled with pages of printed and handwritten recipes and my recipe box. Not as many as Linda but still a respectable number. And I use every single one of them. If not for the recipes then for inspiration.

So when I saw that NPR put out a new list of the best cookbooks of 2009 I had to see if I needed to invest in more cookbooks. Why? Because I have a couple of theories in this life....one of which is: one can never have enough cookbooks. Someday when I want to totally disillusion you all I'll tell you the rest of my life tenets. They are sad.

Anyway if you want to check out the list of cookbooks click on the title. For me? I just don't NEED any of them. Want? Oh yeah, I want.

  1. Wine IS a fruit! And that avacado salad sounds amazing.

    I have a recipe for guacamole that has pomegranate seeds in it. I can eat the whole bowl. With a spoon.

  3. I have slowly been getting rid of a few cookbooks (I know, it kills me to do this) at Half Price Books and you may now have me beat in numbers. Then again I'll be visiting Amazon.com today for Cyber Mon and you never know what I will score. Goin to the NPR site, too. It's such an addiction. Oh, and wine is not just a fruit -- it is a necessity sweetie!

  6. I collect cookbooks and recipes. But I usually just read them and rarely actually make a recipe. It's wrong, but the truth.

    The hubs would love this recipe; I might attempt it. :)

  15. I know I am very late to comment on this, but I love how this recipe sounds and I am so going to try it. My father HATED avocado so I thought I had to, too. Finally in my late 20's I tried it and loved it.

    And yes, wine is absolutely a fruit.
