I have decided that I am officially a married woman. For Christmas, Mike and I asked for a new microwave and our gorgeous Ninja Ultima Blender. (Highly recommended I might add!) He also got me a set of 3 cast iron skillets! I can't wait to use them, but I haven't had time to figure out the seasoning process. If anyone is an expert at cast iron, please let me know!
Also, for my birthday, I asked my parents for some cookbooks, and I gave them an Amazon wishlist. What arrived in a giant box were 8 brand new cookbooks (1 also being from my mother-in-law!), a Wilton cake decorating set, and a cake turntable! As excited as I was, I also realized that I am no longer asking for things like college sweatshirts, Barbie dolls, matchbox cars.....yes those 2 things did actually go together at one time :)

My purpose behind this blabbering is that I have lots of time to read, and you should expect to see some great new recipes in the future! I am almost the whole way through "365 Ways to Cook Chicken," and it is already marked, and ready to be used!
I included links for all of the books below, and I will be posting an update on what I think of all of them at a later date!
