Cookbooks....My Addiction!!

I guess if you are going to have an addiction, this one is not a terrible bad one to have.  I guess I have been collecting cookbooks for several years now.  Honestly, I LOVE getting new cookbooks as gifts and such.  It just makes me happy. 

I once told a friend of mine that I collected cookbooks.  She looked right at me and stated "Well, that explains your addiction to food.  You are a foodie."  My feelings were hurt at first but then I thought "you know what, I don't care!"  Honestly, I thought she was a little off her rocker.  Oh well, we can't make everyone happy can we?!?!  I don't think I am addicted to food.  I think I just like reading cookbooks!

Now, I know you are probably asking yourself, "How many cookbooks could she possible have?"  Well, here is the pics to show ya!

Now, by all means I don't have a huge amount YET!!  However, I am working on it!  The two Alton Brown cookbooks are the top were special gifts from my hubby!  I would love to have all the Alton Brown cookbooks.  Not necessarily to ever cook anything out of them, but they are actually very good reads!  A lot interesting information!!

And of course, I have my "cookbook bible" as I have termed it.

This book contains mainly recipes that have been tried.  But most importantly, it contains recipes from my grandmother and mother!  Actually, I am planning on sitting down with mom very soon and writing down some more of them.  What I love about some of the cards in this book is that they are in my mom's and grandmother's handwriting!  It makes me smile when I see them!

So, there is my addiction!  And this explains a little about "New Recipe Tuesday" also -- LOL!!

Have a great day everyone!!
