Ahhhh so I got a message from my parents that a box had arrived for me. I was so excited but I had to wait to get home from a mini break. I couldn't stop thinking about what might be waiting for me!

When I got home I was not disappointed. I received TWO cookbooks!

The first, Thug Kitchen, is a really awesome book of vegan recipes that don't make you feel like you are missing out. I tried one of the first recipes, for cornmeal waffles and fresh strawberry sauce... WOW. So tasty. I am excited to try more of the dishes in this!

The second was The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. It is an interesting book with new techniques to bread making that I am not familiar with. I tried it out right away, making the bagel recipe.

Wow. Easy, well written and the bagels turned out GREAT. I am looking forward to making lots more of my favourite breads and improving my bread making skills.

My santa was incredible. Thank you, thank you. I had listed that I was trying to eat healthy, non processed foods and that I wanted to improve my bread making skills. Holy moly spoil a girl why don't you?

Thank you so much!
