RIDICULOUS-

I have cookbooks coming out of my ears.  I have them in 5 different spots in my kitchen (I didn't take a picture of the 5th spot) and it is driving me crazy.  The funny thing about having 33 cook books is that I don't even really like to cook.  I find cooking stressful and tend to stick with the things I know.  I may use a cookbook 10-20 times a year and now with great websites like ALLRECIPES and FOOD NETWORK, who needs a cook book.  
I also have two notebooks.  One is of recipes that I tore out over the years and NEVER used and the other is where I keep all my recipes cards in plastic photo covers (this is a whole other project.
I narrowed it down to my favorite cookbooks.  It still seems like a lot, but much better. 
  1. BBQ Bible
  2. Deceptively Delicious
  3. Cooking Light- 15 minutes
  4. Burgers
  5. Disney- The Magic Kitchen Cookbook
  6. Joy of Cooking
  7. Barefoot Contessa
  8. Sky High- cake book
  9. Weight Watchers 5 Ingredients, 15 minutes
  10. Kitchen Companion

I always thought the cookbooks on your counter looked good. I go back and forth between putting my favorites out and then putting them all away! I am indeed a cookbook addict though... I totally love them. :)

Holy smokes, Sarah! That is a mighty tall stack of cookbooks. It probably feels good to be able to narrow it down some. Maybe you'll cook a little more now that you have less to rifle through. :)

**We have the Disney Magic Kitchen Cookbook, too. Haven't used it yet...but some day! ;)
