The Dumpling Galaxy Cookbook Review

I was so super excited to get to review The Dumpling Galaxy Cookbook. I've always wanted to try making my own dumplings. This book is great in that it gives you so many varieties to choose from. From sweet to savory they are all included in this cookbook. Also, you can use the premise dumpling wrappers from the supermarket to make most of these which makes them so easy and convenient. I can see myself getting a lot of use out of this cookbook and am so happy to be able to add it to my collection. Instead of going for takeout, I can now make these at home with my own ingredients and there are so many varieties. If you like dumplings, get this cookbook! I received a free copy of this cookbook in exchange for my honest review from Blogging for Books.

I was excited to get my hands on a copy of Eat Beautiful by Wendy Rowe. This book is a comprehensive guide to beauty on the outside. Instead of just being a cookbook, this book starts out by talking about good digestion and how to detoxify your body. There are a few detox recipes. All look interesting, but I'm not sure I will try them anytime soon. The recipes are broken down by season with the philosophy that eating in season is whats best for your body. The recipes were all quite interesting. I can't wait to try the Cucumber and Mango Salsa and the Kiwi Pancakes. Overall a great addition to any cookbook collection and a lot of helpful practical advice on how to look your best.

A Boy called Christmas is a great new Christmas story that I will likely read to my kids year after year. It is extremely heratwarming and tells the true meaning of Christmas.

Martha Stewarts Vegetables Review

I was excited to receive a copy of Martha Stewarts Vegetables. I love finding new ways to cook with vegetables so that my kids will eat them. This book is packed with healthy recipes for main dishes and sides. The book is broken into chapters based on Vegetables so if you have a certain vegetable to use up you can simply flip to that section and find a recipe for it. The only disappointment I found were that a lot of the dishes contained a pasta or starch and wasn't simply just vegetable dishes. Many of the recipes didn't look very kid friendly but I am excited to try them out anyway. Some of the recipes I am most excited to try are the Watercress and Asparagus Pizza, Spiced Parsnip Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, and the Sesame Carrot Slaw. Overall I think this is a cookbook that is worthy of a position in your collection. There are other more comprehensive vegetable cookbooks out thee, but Martha's style makes up for that in this book.

I was so very excited to get a copy of Against All Grain Celebrations and it did not disappoint! I have all of Danielle Walkers other books and love them! This one does not disappoint. This cookbook has thick pages and beautiful colorful photos of each recipe. Everything looks mouthwatering and delicious and I can't wait to try all of the recipes. The book is broken into 12 chapters, each depicting a different holiday or season. An entire chapter devoted to Christmas delicacies and Halloween treats including some really fun party ideas are included along with Easter, Mother's Day, Fathers , Day, Birthday Parties and more. I can't wait to get entertaining with this book! For those concerned that grain free recipes aren't for them, there are tons of recipes for meats and side dishes that don't include almond flour or coconut flour. Personally I am not a huge fan of baked goods made with those items. This book is for everyone, not just those on special diets. Some of my favorite recipes include, the spinach artichoke dip, , try tip with grilled vegetables and chimichurri sauce and the garlic rosemary rib roast. Get this book. It's a great addition to anyones cookbook collection! I received a free copy of this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

I ordered a copy of this book as I am very interested in learning more about how girls interact as I have daughters myself. This book talked about some very important facts, but the overall tone of this book was quite negative. I felt like this book did a lot of explaining how and why girls are mean and unkind, but didn't do a lot to explain how to cope or fix the problem. Overall, I didn't find this book to be a very valuable resource in helping the problem, but one that shows what you need to look out for. The advise it does include should be taken with a grain of salt.  It is very long and hard to get through.
