Hi, friends! It’s time for another cookbook review!
This is my very favorite semi-recurring series on the blog. I have a lot of cookbooks. But I don’t always remember to cook from said cookbooks.
Plus, it’s easy to get into a dinner rut. You know how it goes. Long week, busy day at work, need to get dinner on the table asap –– you resort back to a few of your old standbys.
But with this series, I’m trying to break out of my dinner shell (and inspire you to do the same along the way).
Read MoreWelcome welcome to Fooduzzi’s “A Week of Meals from” series! This is the second post in the series (check out the first one here!), and I’m v excited you’re here!
This little series is one of my favorite things, even though I’ve only done it twice.
And that’s because it came out of a need. A need to dust off the bajillion cookbooks I currently have strewn about my room. A need to get out of our dinner rut. A need to actually cook the recipes I find in cookbooks.
In this “A Week of Meals from” series, I find a cookbook, I cook a few different recipes from it throughout the week, and then I review it here! On Fooduzzi!
Today’s review: Love Real Food from the vegetarian queen herself, Kathryne Taylor from the wonderful blog, Cookie + Kate.

You get this beautiful new cookbook. You flip through each page, dog-ear a ton of recipes that look “omg so good”…and then you put it on a shelf and forget about it.
Hi, my name is Alexa, and I never ever cook from my cookbooks.
I have so many cookbooks. Books from bloggers! Books from cooking show personalities! Books from random people I’ve never heard of before!
When I need a new recipe, I search online or make something up and go about my day. Or I resort to my old stand-by of brown rice, some sort of roasted veg, and chickpeas. aka. the meal I have approximately 5 times per week.
But there are pages upon pages of yum calling to me from my bookshelf, crying out, “EAT FROM ME!” and just waiting for their time to shine.
So! We’re starting a new series here on the blog called, “A Week of Meals.”

Yay Trader Joe’s!
Trader Joe’s is…my favorite grocery store ever. In fact, we pass at least seven different grocery stores on the way to Trader Joe’s, yet we go there every single week.Read More
I thought I was safe making ice cream because Pittsburgh has had some uncharacteristically warm weather these past few weeks.
However as I’m writing this, the last of the snow is melting off of the roof.
Ooooh well. Ice cream tastes just as good in cold weather as it does in warm, right?!

Happy Monday, friends! It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?!
It’s beautiful because it is April. And I’m super excited about this month because it’s the month of Mark’s and my 1 year anniversary! A lot has happened this year: we moved in together, we got a kitten, we ate copious amounts of Mexican food. But even after a year, some of my favorite nights with Mark are our Date Nights In. We’ll cook an awesome meal, get the wine flowin’, and create a cute little picnic in our apartment by the windows.
We’re naturally introverted and the let’s stay inside in our comfy clothes so we don’t have to talk to anyone type, so these Date Nights In are seriously perfect. And getting to spend them with my guy doesn’t hurt either. ?Read More
