This mess was the before picture of my cookbook collection this morning. In nice words, a disaster.
This was the after photo. Certainly looks like there is a lot less junk in there right? I only threw away one rancid cookbook, that looked like a bowl of spaghetti exploded all over it, then simply organized the rest.
When people ask what I collect, I only have one answer. Cookbooks. These aren't all of them. I have some more scattered about the kitchen, on shelves, in a cookbook holder, etc. I would probably have a trillion more if my kitchen space allowed.
I'm curious, what do you collect? Anything?
This is my only thing, as I like to keep a fairly, clean and simple house. Clutter and I don't get along very well. And we just don't have the space, so most times it isn't even an option.
Another good thing that came out of Operation Cleanup this morning? I found two of the exact.same.cookbooks. I have no idea how that happened, and frankly didn't even know I had them. That is what happens when you let your cupboards get to the point I did. You find things you didn't even know existed.
But, to you, my readers, it is your lucky day. I am giving away the additional copy of Baked Until Bubbly. It is a HUGE cookbook filled with baked, gooey, melty, comfort food heaven.
I have no affiliation with this author or this book, I am just simply giving one of my copies away. No reason to have two, right?
I will choose one random winner on Wednesday, October 5th. I'm giving you 4 different ways to enter, giving you 4 easy entries, please take advantage of this!
