Award and Cookbook Collection

Teresa of A Blog About Food has given me the Uber Amazing Blog award and I wanted to say a big thank you to her! I am so happy that you enjoy my blog and thanks so much for the award! Plus, I like having an excuse to write the word uber! :)

I would like to pass this award on to Bunny & Carol of Bunny's Warm Oven, Conversations with a Cupcake (I'm so sorry that I don't have a name!!!!), and Prudy of Prudence Pennywise. I love these blogs and really look forward to seeing new posts from them! I hope you'll stop by and check them out! I promise you that you won't be disappointed!!!

Now let's talk about cookbooks! I was visiting Pam's blog (Cookies with Boys) and she was displaying her cookbook collection. She was posting hers in response to another food blogger. So, now I am posting mine! I think it is a fun idea! Mine isn't very large, but considering I end up bookmarking so many recipes online, not many recipes get made from my books. OOPS! But, that doesn't stop me from buying and asking for more. I can't get enough!!! :)

This is my cookbook collection. I don't have a lot of extra room in the kitchen, so they stay on these shelves in my laundry room. I love going in there and picking up one and reading it. Not just looking through it, but actually reading it like a novel. Am I weird? I'm hoping there are others out there like me! Oh, and don't fret that Baking: From My Home to Yours isn't on the shelf. It stays on my cookbook holder next to the stove!

In addition to my cookbooks, I have this magazine holder that holds folders and my binder. The folders are divided into categories (main dish, side dish, desserts, etc) and this is where I keep recipes that I pull out of magazines.

The binder holds all the recipes that I have made that are "keepers". I put together a family cookbook a few years back for Christmas and included all of my keepers up to that point and these are recipes that have been keepers since then.

I unfortunately can't show you the last place that I keep recipes... my favorites folder! Thanks to all the wonderful food bloggers, I have an ever growing folder online! So many delicious recipes that are calling my name that I am eager to try!

Is anyone else bummed that there will never be enough time to make all the recipes that are out there??? I may not be able to make them all, but I sure will try!

Now... what's on your shelf?
