Library Cookbooks



Yesterday i made a trip to the library just to look at cookbooks. The Cedar Falls library had 2 huge cases full, like thousands of cookbooks, it was fun. I usually look for new recipes on the internet, but this was a nice change. I checked out about 8 different books ranging from fine dining, to classic "Iowa Cuisine", which i was a little curious about.

These 2 were my favorites, and also a classic greek cook book which i will share about later, along with our "greek cooking school" experience a few weeks ago. Tonight i will be attempting a Brownie Pie from the Barefoot Contessa's book. Wish me luck!

{although it's nice to have many cookbooks on hand, what a money saver to check out from the Library and save the ones you like. Create your own recipe box of the best you've found}

Sushi Night and more





A few weeks ago we tried our hand at Sushi making. It was really fun! Out favorites had green onion and/ or cream cheese, which i guess you can't ever go wrong with those two things.

Here are some more food pictures too, one is a noodle bowl with flank steak and curry sauce. The big sandwich is salami with rosemary and chive mayo. Both really good!
