a homemade life.

i recently finished reading the book a homemade life: stories and recipes from my kitchen table by molly wizenberg and i love love loved it. my mother-in-law recommended it and i can't thank her enough! it is written by the creater of the award winning food blog orangette {a new favorite} and it is so well written. it is filled with charming stories from her life and the most delicious recipes. but beware, this book is a killer to read when you're hungry. it will make you want to run to the grocery store and buy a bunch of ingredients that very second.

a few of the recipes i can't wait to try are the coconut macaroons with chocolate ganache, vanilla bean buttermilk cake with glazed oranges and creme, buckwheat pancakes, and her banana bread with chocolate and crystallized ginger. and that is only the beginning of my list. oh goodness, this book is gold in a foodie's hands. if you love cooking/baking/eating, you'll love this book. purchase it here.

i hope you all have the most lovely memorial day weekend!
