Recipes from the "Queen of Cute"

...arrived today. I was so happy to receive this Mary Engelbreit cookbook from Elizabeth. I won her giveaway over at Creative Breathing. All the recipes sound so good and sound like things I would actually want to cook. Some cookbooks use ingredients that I'm not familiar with or sound too complicated for me...not this one. And of course it is CUTE!!.inside and out! It has the little quotes like Mary always uses before each section. The first one is from her. As you probably know, her husband does most of the cooking for their family. This is what she says, "If my family had to depend on me for food, they would starve to death in a really cute kitchen." Love that!! I personally, only cook because I have to, except for desserts...I do like to bake. Mainly because I like dessert best! But I am looking forward to trying several of these dishes.
Thanks Elizabeth, I really love this. You are a sweetheart!!

  4. Hi Angela, I love the quote in Mary's cookbook! I feel the same way~not so good tho when you live on a farm! Congrats on all your winnings! You were so lucky to win Mamie Jane's giveaway--it was amazing! Just letting you know that I've tried several times to become a follower and everytime it says blog not found! I've checked and spelled everything correctly, so I don't know why it won't work for me...do you?? Let me know if you have any suggestions~I would love to follow you! Julie

  9. Congrats on the win. My husband does the cooking for the regular meals, I do all things fun and fabulous for entertaining. I love the jadite sugar bowl. It would look nice in my kitchen. Thanks for the heads up about my plant pot being McCoy and not Roseville. I have corrected my post and noted you with the correction. Thanks.
