It’s Spring Break time for me, and the weather is beautiful so far. Honestly I don’t plan on doing much cooking this week. I do plan to take care of some decorating chores at the lake and get in lots of reading.
I recently acquired two books that I am anxious to read: Dorie Greenspan’s around my french table and Ree Drummond’s Black Heels to Tractor Wheels arrived a week or so ago, and I have waited until this week to read them. So far, I am enjoying both tremendously.
Drummond’s The Pioneer Woman Cooks has become a favorite among my neighbors and friends for her cinnamon roll recipe. It makes bunches! I’m sure many of you have given that one a try. Unfortunately, it is not currently on my diet plan
.
Greenspan’s newest book is sure to become a favorite. It’s a beautiful book filled with deliciousness. My goal is to accomplish at least one of her ideas each week. But not this week….I’ll leave the cooking up to you. Thank you very much!
Be sure to link up a favorite below. I’d love to know your recommendations from either of these two ladies if you have some to share.

Enjoy your break this week! Thanks for hosting this blog party.
Love both books as far as reading them, but haven’t made anything from them yet. Hope to change that very soon! Enjoy your vacation from cooking 🙂
Hi Deb just linked up!!!
I am definitely going to try the Greenspan cookbook. Love your link party. Have a good spring break!
Hi Debbie,
Sounds like you are enjoying your Spring Break. Thank you for hosting today and have a great day!
Yea….I can’t figure out how to make those cinnamon rolls fit on my diet plan either. Thanks for linking up.
Thanks for hosting! I’m sharing Lemon Cranberry Muffins. Both cookbooks sound like a great read…I haven’t read either of them yet. Enjoy!!

I’ve never cooked with Dorie at all, but I love PW’s recipes! Wouldn’t a cinnamon roll diet be the best? I’m doing a 1200 calorie diet, I could probably eat one for breakfast, lunch and dinner! That would be it though.
I’m sorry, I somehow managed to link to last week’s linky first by mistake! (How I did that I do not know – I was sure I was in the right place!) I’ve linked my Spicy Mango Chicken to this week now…
Enjoy Spring Break, and hope the weather stays lovely for you! Thank you for hosting.
Hi! I’m going to link up with you today! Glad I found you. I also host a Wednesday recipe linky called What’s For Dinner?? Hop over and link up your post (I have a cute button, too!)
