About me: I live in Colorado and cook for my family; my husband, my 20-year-old daughter (who is in college), and my 18-year-old son (a VERY picky eater). I love cookbooks and have quite a collection but am always looking to add more. I have been known to take a cookbook to bed and read it before falling asleep. Lately, I have found myself getting a lot of recipes off the internet and not using my cookbooks much. I would like to change this. I am anxious for this site to take off (and it will) and for the volume of recipe reviews to grow. It is such a great idea!

Skillet Blueberry Cobbler from Weber's Real Grilling

Excellent. We did overcook it slightly on the grill but we just need to get better at grill baking! Served it to a group of 5 and everyone loved it. read more >

Jelly Shot Test Kitchen: Jell-ing Classic Cocktails-One Drink at a Time

By Michelle Palm
Running Press - 2011

May 23rd, 2011

I have been following this food blog for a while and they just published their first cookbook. It is a a great book with tons of pictures (which are key when you are trying to make these fun little concoctions).

We made Cosmopolitan Jelly Shots the first thing. We needed something one layer and easy since we didn't really have much time and were excited about trying it out. We need to perfect our technique but we are very anxious to try.

Totally fun party book - but be careful - these things are potent!
