In the coupon classes I teach, I discuss meal planning and the need to have at least 15 recipes that make someone (not everyone, just someone) in your family happy and rotate them monthly. In addition, you need to try three new recipes each month so those last fifteen recipes don’t turn out to be Chicken Casserole.
And usually people ask, “How do you find three new recipes?”
I have several sources.
- I subscribe to Taste of Home Magazine.
- I utilize AllRecipes.com.
- I have a cookbook addiction.
I will admit to owning a “more than I should” amount of cookbooks.
They provide me inspiration.
Something about the beautiful pictures of Cream of Mushroom Soup or Chinese Pot Roast make me believe that I can make that dish and it will taste amazing because it LOOKS amazing.
However, over the years, I’ve learned that just because something LOOKS amazing doesn’t mean it will always TASTE amazing.
Luckily my new favorite cookbook – Big Bowl of Love – not only has the most amazing food photography, it has some of the most amazing recipes too.
(Seriously, I HEART this cookbook and it’s simplistic ingredient list in a BIG way.)
And I’m fortunate enough to share (3) Big Bowl of Love Cookbooks that are signed by Cristina Ferrare with Kansas City Mama readers.
