Do you remember when, as a kid, you got that awesome Christmas gift and you didn't open another package for hours because you took that Hot Wheels set to your bedroom, set up the track, and raced the Splittin' Image against the Whip Creamer in gravity-controlled drag races all day? Yeah, the Splittin' Image won every time. But that's another story.

My Cookbooks Santa sent me two great cookbooks, and I immediately wanted to test them out. So ... before I could post any pictures of the books and thank my Santa ... I wanted to make one of the recipes in one of the cookbooks. Sort of like that movie with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams back in the day.

So I took the cast iron skillet cookbook and made one of the breakfast recipes - bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs in a nice savory morning meal. And I think I did okay. What do you think?

Thanks lots and lots, cookbook Santa!
