What I'm Reading Monday: Budget Bites

I finally got an apartment and it's MINE. Those four little letters are so glorious! It sadly leaves me room for little else. Naturally, I turned to the library, the only place where you can stay without having to buy anything and I found some great books. There may be a shot at being Susie Home-maker for me in my future yet ;)

Sheet Pan Suppers 

Molly Gilbert 

Workman Publishing Company

Summary: 

It's the one-pot meal reinvented, and what is sure to become every busy cook's new favorite way of getting dinner on the table. It's Sheet Pan Suppers-a breakthrough full-color cookbook with more than 120 recipes for complete meals, snacks, brunch, and even dessert, that require nothing more than a sheet pan, your oven, and Molly Gilbert's inspired approach. 

Maximum ease, minimal cleanup, and mouthwatering recipes. In other words, a revelation that will change the way we cook.

  6. Congrats on your apartment! I want to have my own place too. But it'll have to wait. Haha! I don't cook (oops) but I really want to learn soon. Haha! Perhaps I need to buy simple recipe books. :)

  8. Congrats on the apartment! Those look like my kind of cookbooks! I live by my crockpot. The best cookbook ever for it--How to Make Love and Dinner at the Same Time. Not only are there great recipes, but the sidebars are hilarious!
