Colorful Cooking by Jacque Wick

Young children usually are curious about what their parent is doing in the kitchen. With this cookbook, an adult can help turn the kitchen into a fun classroom where kids can learn about nutritious food and how colorful it can be. I love how the recipes are so easy for kids to put together! It's also nice that they center around healthy combinations of fruits and vegetables, though there are plenty of ideas for creative desserts too! I think my favorite recipes would be the sweet potato fries and colorful waffle quesadilla, though the apple crisp cups are fun also. Another thing I love is the introduction, with tips on kitchen safety.
Two thumbs up!

In the Kitchen

Savor your favorite family memories—ones that start right in your kitchen. Popular TV personality Allison Waggoner brings her family’s recipes to your table in this beautiful collection of meals. With recipes for brunch, dinner, dessert, and drinks, this cookbook invites you to create your own family memories, full of delicious food, fun with friends, and love that lasts a lifetime.
My thoughts: This book is a wonderful addition to one's kitchen! I love the recipes, since they are both unique and easy to navigate. I like how the recipes are set up, with the list of ingredients in a box to the side of the instructions. It makes meal planning and shopping for the ingredients go a lot easier.
I also like the mix of recipes in this cookbook. There are some that are easy to whip up, since I keep a lot of the ingredients on hand, and then there is a nice group of recipes to use for entertaining, recipes that will impress and yet are still relatively easy to make.
Some of the recipes we have enjoyed the most are: Tarragon Chicken Salad: a fun way to mix up a dish that can become boring; Gruyere Chive Popovers: this one is listed as a breakfast idea, but I think it would also be good as a side with a steak and salad; and Strawberry Almond Scones: we have a lot of strawberries from our garden, so I can see using this recipe a lot too!

Delicious Mornings

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, giving your body a jump start to get through the day. This cookbook is a great way to get out the rut of boring breakfast food, since it has fun ideas and recipes for making things like Pumpkin Rosemary Muffins,
Spicy Apricot Sausage Pastry, Red Velvet Pancakes, and Creme Brülée Vanilla Oatmeal. I get tired of making the same old pancakes or eggs for breakfast, so I was thrilled to receive this cookbook in the mail, since it is a fun one! The recipes are easy to follow and the pictures help one visualize the end result.;) We have a breakfast potluck every couple of months at church, so it will be fun to make some of these new dishes. This cookbook is perfect if you are wanting to add some spice to your breakfast routine!
Two thumbs up!
