Look what Santa brought me? Okay, her name is actually Karen but it sure felt like Christmas! We had a lovely dinner last night and exchanged books. She got me Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics and I got her Dashing Through The Snow by Mary Higgins Clark.

I LOVE Ina Garten. Every time I watch her show I get hungry. Her recipes, although quite impressive in appearance are usually pretty simple to make and with all the stuff that I have going on, simple fits the bill.

For those of you that have yet to Buy Books for the Holidays, what are you waiting for?
