One Pot Cookies, for What Did You Read This Month, Book Review Link-y.

Welcome to the What Did You Read This Month? Book Review Link-y, a monthly sharing link-up for books! Books of all kinds, romance, suspense, DIY, and my personal favorite, cookbooks! Personally I couldn't be happier that books are once again, back in fashion! Print, kindle or Audio, they are all great. 

And a great way to keep them front and center is to share a review of what you have read, if and how you enjoyed it, and if you would recommend that book to a friend! Oh and a story or two of how you came to own or stumbled upon the book would also be fun...because the human connection to a book is just as important, as the book itself! Since books are for everyone, let's all enjoy them, again!



Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Apple Salad with Pecans. Fresh, crunchy, delicious!

Are you looking for more delicious, non-lettuce salads to enjoy? While a lettuce-based salad is always enjoyable, other vegetables make great salads as well. Plus having a variety of non-lettuce salad recipes to enjoy, means that a salad is just a few moments away. Like this Shaved Brussels Sprouts And Apple Salad with Pecans!

In My Homestead Kitchen November, looking back on October 2026.

Getting back into the groove after our vacation, took a bit longer than I thought it might! But we lunged back in on medium speed and after getting a few things replaced or updated, life is now returning to normal. I am once again full of new inspiration and some of it is beginning to see the light of a blog post! Thanks for stopping by as we join Sherry for In My Kitchen!
