I really like cooking. I wish I did it a lot more than I do. I also really love having a few cookbooks floating around my kitchen. It's good eye-candy and on the few and far between chances I actually cook something, I've got some great resources right in my kitchen. These are few that have caught my eye as of late.

| Source I also love, love, love her blog. Joy the Baker Cookbook includes everything from “Man Bait” Apple Crisp to Single Lady Pancakes to Peanut Butter Birthday Cake. Joy's philosophy is that everyone loves dessert; most people are just looking for an excuse to eat cake for breakfast. |
