A Good Book and Some Good Food!

A Good Book! Good Food! Does it get any better?
Bev Wowak

As we come to the last month of our winter reading club, Get Cookin' with a Good Book!, here are some great cooking blogs and books to check out.

I love to visit the cooking blogs…yes there are hundreds of them but these are a few of my favorite. I have tried a recipe from just about every one of them! If you have a favorite cooking/food blog, feel free to share. Meanwhile, check one of these out and have fun.
