My new cookbook, "Super Easy," will be here on October 19, and I'm getting excited! It's filled with simple, delicious food that'll give you lots of options for cooking this fall, winter, and beyond...and I can't wait to share it!
Aside from absolutely loving all the recipes inside, I was also excited that my whole family was home to shoot some shots for the cover (well, back cover!) with me. You'll notice our numbers have grown a little bit (hi, Jamar! hi, Mauricio!), and it was hard to fit everyone in!
You know...this reminds me a little bit of a certain cookbook photo Ladd snapped in this same kitchen just a few years ago. Okay, several years ago. Okay, thirteen years ago. Here it is, my first cookbook from 2009, when I was just barely forty and knew nothing about writing cookbooks! Look at all the kids...especially Todd, who could just barely see over the counter. And that was wearing his cowboy boots!
I'm crying inside. I can't believe how small the kids were, and I can't believe how vividly I still remember that day. In fact, earlier this year when we were shooting the photos for my new cookbook, the kids and I started talking about the memory from the first cookbook cover shoot...then we started pointing at the places we were standing back then...and then one thing led to another...and this happened.
So, how'd we do? Um...can we just look at Todd for a second? š I appreciated the kids jumping in and giving this their all. I guess time flies when you live on a ranch, homeschool, play soccer, volleyball, and football, go to college, get married...and a few things in between.
Hope you got a kick out of this, and hope you love the new book...just a few weeks left!
Here's where you can find it for preorder. Lots of deliciousness ahead! š
