Two new books arrived on my doorstep over the weekend, courtesy of Harper Collins. They were Devotion: A Memoir
by Dani Shapiro and The Recipe Club: A Tale of Food and Friendship by Andrea Israel and Nancy Garfinkel.
I am a true fan of memoirs so I am excited to dive into the pages of Devotion
first.
Among some of my favorite memoirs include:

The Recipe Club
I will certainly be trying some of the recipes in this novel cookbook which include cleverly named: Starry Night Scampi, Catcher in the Rye Bread, Wash-Away-the-Blues Berry Cobber, and Smashing Smashed Potatoes.
Mmm... speaking of recipes, here are a few new ones that I have tried lately that have been a succes!
- Pioneer Woman's Spicy Shredded Pork and Twice Baked Potatoes.
- Amish White Bread from AllRecipes (2 perfect, delicious loaves every time!)
- I also recently made a Lemon Meringue pie from my Joy of Cooking cookbook (1997 version). It looked as gorgeous as it was tasty!
- Another great treat is Chocolate Covered Toffee posted by Nicola from which name? which I made as gifts for the holidays. I have been dreaming of it ever since. So good!
I'll also leave you with a recipe that is a surefire hit with our family every time; a quick crock pot meal for those days when you would rather spend your time reading than cooking.
