Sorry my fellow blog readers, but this beauty has captivated me. Who wants to sit inside on a computer when this is “SCREAMING” their name?? {*note: it takes a lot to pull me away from blogging time}
pure bliss for the eyes…
and this is pure bliss for the mouth…my new purchase from one of my very favorite stores, William Sonoma. I spent about 30 minutes looking through all of their cookbooks, and I settled on this one: eat well _ healthy ways to enjoy the foods you love So you might wonder, how to narrow down a HUGE cookbook selection to ONE. The endless choices of cookbooks at WS is overwhelming, especially for me, I am one indecisive girl in most cases. But this one was a no brainer…there are pictures for ALL of the recipes and ALL of them look SCRUMPTIOUS!! I pretty much drooled as I flipped through the pages of endless YUMMINESS! I usually do not buy cookbooks because you can find almost anything and everything online, but this is one a MAJOR exception!!! It is pure yummy beautifulness! And besides, it is one of the cheaper options, we are talking William Sonoma ladies and gentlemen.
okay…I really am drooling looking at these pictures, so I am going to attempt some time at “inspiration clipping”. ha-just came up with that new title? That is what I call it when I start flipping through magazines, and tearing/clipping/cut&pasting things that make me go WOW!!
multitasking while:
watching (or listening to): Raising Helen
wearing: pj’s
drinking: ice water
sitting: indian style {aka “criss-cross applesauce”} on the floor in front of the couch…don’t ask, I have always been a floor girl
craving: rice pudding from rice to riches in NYC (yes, the SHIP and have e-GIFT CERTIFICATES…TEMPTING!!!)
was talking to: my lovely grandma on my blackberry
needing to: brush my teeth
& excited about: my BIG beach blog post, coming soon
oh those images are lovely. I want to dive into the water. I want summer to be HERE NOW so that I can enjoy fresh local veggies and fruits.
I also read Urban Grace’s blog – congrats on your job with her. If I knew it was that easy to have you “help out” I would have emailed you months ago!
I’m not ChiO, but I am Greek too (Kappa Alpha Theta).
Have a great weekend
I know why you bought the cookbook. It wasn’t the recipes, it was the pretty pictures!!!
such pretty pictures in that cookbook.
Im drinking water too, except its room temp. I don’t like it too cold.

Just came across your blog thru Urban Grace and absolutely love it! Great images (going to the beach on Friday, so thanks for the pics) and posts. Have a wonderful Monday!
I need a new cookbook and that one looks great- I might have to copy you! Hope you are having fun at the beach- sounds wonderful!
Now I am drooling!!!!!!!! I need a healthy cookbook other than "cooking light."
BTW, was the tomato pie yummy?? How many of those baby tomatoes did you use?
Sarah-the cookbook is the BEST!! A good purchase, and like I said with the internet I would not usually buy a cookbook! the tomato pie was EASY and delicioussss!! Suprisingly I used about 3-4 whole medium-size tomatoes, but sliced them thinly!
Thank you dear- I will make this this coming weekend!!!
I'm craving Rice to Riches too… I should get some actually
(and this is kinda embarrassing, but someone had it shipped to me for my birthday after I lived here the first summer because I was so obsessed with it!)
