All Good Cooks Need Good Cookbooks {Wish-list}

I just got home from a long day of shopping and I'm worn out!  A friend & I went shopping in a nearby "city" to find ourselves a formal dress for the graduation ball in May.  We both found a dress + bought them.  Although, I won't have it until 1 week before the ball so I have to try & find someone to fix the length during that week. Nothing like waiting till the last minute!  

Now time to find a graduation dress.  If you missed my post on possible graduation dress options, check it out and let me know which one you like.  

Speaking of dresses, trying them on always makes me realize I like to eat to much! Along with loving food + eating, I also love cookbooks.

Even though I have a thing for cookbooks, I always struggle buying them since they are usually not the cheapest kind of book to buy.  I like my cookbooks to be filled with quality pictures of every recipe. If a cookbook does not have pictures I usually will not purchase. 

My list of cookbooks has grown a lot in the last few months since I have switched to a more gluten free and paleo type eating plan.  I have wanted to buy a few in the last couple months, but since we are moving soon I decided to will wait until we get moved, find a house, and get settled.  So in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to share some of the cookbooks I hope to add to my collection soon. 

I was able to get a few of my grandma's old cookbooks and can not wait to sit down and take the time to go through them--many times!  I left them at with my parent's house since I inherited them since we have lived in AL.

I've never been to this bakery, 

but would love to someday!

Ok, I know a lot of these are cookbooks from bloggers. BUT they are all excellent cookbooks in my opinion!

Shutterbean (also a blogger) are both fabulous.
