Something New

Hello! :) 
Today's blog is what I picked up from my little shopping trip yesterday ! :)


I got up rather early yesterday, and while realizing I left my wallet in the car and hubby had already left for work, I had to go get a new bank card first! But yesterday was so beautiful that I walked for most of it and then took the bus to the mall.


My whole plan was to buy just two cook books, but who actually leaves the store with the one thing they intended to buy! In my mall we have Cole's bookstore, which to be honest, I lvoe it! I've been to a few different book stores, not many but a few and Cole's is my absolute favorite! The employees there are ALWAYS so nice and helpful!


When ever I go to the mall for one specific thing and not just to look around I ALWAYS go on the days stores have deals on what I want! SO just my luck Cole's had a table FULL of cook books and baking books on sale!


Here are the books I picked up :)

This one is obvious. It's all about smoothies and with summer right around the corner it's PERFECT.
The better part of this book? It was priced for $10 BUT I got it for $2 because that's what the computer said the price was!
The cashier was like " Oh, this one is coming up for $2 instead of $10, that's awesome " and I said " that's a great steal " and we both laughed.
It never fails at Cole's I always find the neatest deals there!
I've flipped through it and it looks delicious! Great breakfast ideas and hot summer days (which we can sneak in liquor :)  ) 
Another neat part of this book is that it tells you what tools to use for best results as well as a complete guide to what each fruit and veggie does to help your body with all the vitamins and such that you need. So I'm  really excited for this book!




This one here has as you can see over 500 different recipes. I'm really looking forward to this one because all I know how to make is pizza, panzarottis , burgers, chicken/stir fry, basic stuff and I want to expand my skills. Plus I want to learn to cook real food ! haha .
I flipped through this book and while some of these seem kind simple there are a few that I will have to build up too, but they look yummy anyway! This book deals with different things from Veggie dishes, Fish & Shellfish, Risotto, and tons more other yummy things! They have a chapter with chicken, which is my all time favorite food! I could eat chicken everyday! So I'm looking forward to that chapter the most!
I also got this book on sale for about $10. So I went on a perfect day!


I am a bit bummed out though because they had a cook book by my favorite Food Network Chef, except it was a bit out of my budget. Chef Michael is my Favorite Food Network Chef! I just love how he does his show, it's different and I like that his family is sometime on the show. Makes it seem more friendly :) . What really catches my attention his his little area he keeps all his spices & stuff. I wish I could actually go to his set ! It'd be like a dream :) It'd be really cool to actually meet him because he seems like he has an awesome personality and it would be so cool to cook along side him !

But like I said I'm an armature and I'm just getting into this cooking thing, so maybe it was okay that I didn't go all out and get his book because I'm still learning. So maybe once I get myself worked up I will go out and get it! I'm really excited to read through and learn his way of cooking :)

This is my blog for today guys! I haven't posted in a few days since it was St. Patty's weekend and I got all busy with my best friend hanging out. We were going to bake up some green food but that didn't happen so I'm hoping I'll do a late St Patty's day bake :)
