I am loving my new Our Best Bites cookbook that arrived yesterday. It fits all of my criteria for a good cookbook: LOTS of photos, special tutorials to help me learn new cooking tips and techniques, easy and practical family-friendly recipes and lots of yummy treats. I also like the fact that it has a hardbound cover but is spiral bound to stay open while sitting on the counter. I will say that many of the recipes may not fit under the healthy, low-fat/calorie menu plan but there are some and nothing wrong with an occasional splurge. Most of the recipes in the book can be found on their website but I enjoy having the nice pretty cookbook to leaf through instead of the ugly printed papers that scatter across my counter so often.
So after having the cooking blahs for quite sometime, I am now energized for a full week of cooking meals and treats. Here is what I have planned and I just returned from the store with all the necessary supplies. Links to recipes on the blog by clicking on the photos. Photos and recipes courtesy of Our Best Bites.
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
Smoky Bean Soup with Ham and Bacon
Hot Fudge Sauce
Guiltless Alfredo Sauce
French Dip Sandwiches
Fauxtisserie Chicken
Cadbury Egg Cookies
Cheesy Garlic Swirls
I made these last week, but am making another batch as a thank-you for someone at school
Also on the plan are a few new recipes in the book that aren't on their blog: Stuffed Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Cranberry Orange Chicken Salad and Pineapple Ginger Flank Steak.
I will return at the end of the week to give a review of the recipes.

Oh my goodness, Lisa! Those cadberry cream eggs are my favorite thing about Easter...going to have to give those a try!
Do not like cad berry eggs but excited to here how everything is.
FYI gals - NOT the cream filled cadberry eggs. Those are horrible! It is the solid milk chocolate mini-eggs. Now those are fabulous:-)
Oh it all looks wonderful. Making good food is such a celebration of all the good things in our lives. Have fun! Peggy
Wow! You are going to be cookin' up a storm! That's a lot of new recipes for one week! I might have to get that cookbook for myself. My fave cookbook is from allrecipes.com, but it doesn't have pictures. Excited to see how these turn out for you!
Lisa, I am drooling over the best bites blog. You may have created a monster . . . a cookie monster that is. Did you see the orange ginger white chocolate dipped cookies! Yum!
You're so awesome! Thanks for sharing the links, I love it!
