It's no secret I LOOOOOVE cooking, and most of all, I love a good cookbook! Remember THIS post?! It's truly an addiction - I'm addicted to the gorgeous photos, the feel and look of the pages, and obviously...the content. I genuinely love reading recipes from top to bottom, it's therapeutic to me...then by the time I start cooking I know EXACTLY what I'm about to dig into!

I decided (with your help and by popular vote) to share with you all some of the cookbooks that are getting me through my weekday dinners!

Who watches Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network? One episode in and I can't stop watching; I am completely addicted! I'm always on the edge of my seat to see who can ACTUALLy beat Bobby Flay.
