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!
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! Since books are for everyone, let's all enjoy them, once again!
The What Did You Read This Month? Book Review Link-y will start on the first Wednesday of each month!
Which means it will be a month long opportunity to be a part of the fun. It is hosted by yours truly at Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household along with Estelle at Homemade On A Weeknight! After linking up your own review, do be sure to take a look at some of the other reviews that were shared. Because you just might find your next good read...plus it is a lot of fun to support other readers. Reading, like travel is the one area where you can (and will) spend money, only to be so much richer for doing so!
Why am I happy to be a part of this monthly event?
Let's see, reading has always been important t me. And something I have always enjoyed. First as a child visiting the library each week (hello Little House books!), then as a parent and later a grandparent (Good Night Moon!) and always as a cook in my own kitchen. Cookbooks in particular have played a large part in recipe development and as a means to widen my own somewhat limited food horizons! While I might not get to Spain or Germany on a vacation, through a recipe, I can cook the foods enjoyed there! Books have even helped me, teach myself to knit! Books are often my first resource for most things, such as how fix a leaking pipe, or even plant a garden.
Turns out, books have always been a part of my life's journey!

Will It Waffle?
53 Irresistible and Unexpected Recipes to Make in a Waffle Iron.
Daniel Shumski
Copyright 2014 by Daniel Shumski
Dedication: "To my mom, to whom I owe my first waffle iron and everything else."
This is a fun recipe book to have on my shelf! Having a waffle iron in your group of kitchen appliances guarantees you will not only eat delicious waffles, but other delicious (and fun!) food recipes as well. Because the question begs to be asked, will it waffle? And from the recipes in this book, yet it will!
Such as the following chapters offer:
Chapter 1, Tools, Techniques, and Recipe Notes
Chapter 2, Breakfast and Brunch
Chapter 3, Main Courses
Chapter 4, Snacks, Sides, and Small Bites
Chapter 5, Desserts
Chapter 6, Waffles
While I have several recipes bookmarked, I have yet to get to any of them since moving to Texas. For one very important reason, my waffle iron did not make the journey to Texas, breaking somewhere along the way between Wyoming and our new home in Texas. But prior to that tragedy, we had completely embraced this fun twist on cooking while NPS volunteers in Arizona, when we made a delicious
Here is a smattering of additional recipes that are on my radar...........Waffled Hashbrowns with Rosemary (page 29), Waffled Sweet Potato Gnocchi (page 74), Crispy Sesame Waffled Kale (page 128), Zucchini Parmesan Flattened Fritters (page 145), Waffled Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (page 163) and Buttermilk Cornmeal Waffles (page 187).
Now settled here in Texas I have found the perfect waffle iron to add to our kitchen appliance group! And I am hear to tell you, it is sitting in my cart on Amazon right now!
My hope is that when you see a fun recipe book like this one, you will give it a try. Especially if you have little chefs that come into your kitchen to help out and be a part of the fun! Because, will it waffle? Yes it will!
