Books

Cookbooks

These are books in my own library. I endorse them because I like them and receive nothing in return.

Cooking Light Superfast Suppers – Speedy Solutions for Dinner Dilemmas by Anne C. Cain The title pretty much says it all!
Cook’s Kitchen Handbook & 500 Basic Recipes Consultant Editor Carole Clements Every kitchen needs a good go to guide to remind you how to roast a chicken, make a streusel topping, or make Buckwheat Blinis with Marinated Salmon (pg. 276) this just happens to be the one I use.
Feeding the Whole Family: Recipes for Babies, Young Children and their Parents by Cynthia Lair This is the first cookbook I sat and read. There is a ton of practical information in easy to understand language.
Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook – Over 500 recipes for the healthy cook’s kitchen

Websites

allrecipes.com – If you have an ingredient and you don’t know what to do with it, this is a great place to be inspired! Many recipes are user submitted and have great comments on ways to tweak them. Bonus – nutritional information is listed on some recipes.
BMI Calculator – National Heart Lung and Blood Institute & US Department of Health and Human Services
seriouseats.com how to beat egg whites for meringues and souffles – This is a great basic skill that took me seven attempts to get right!
Spark Recipes, Recipe Calculator – Allows a user to calculate the nutritional information per serving of any recipe. Anyone can use it but registered users have more options on the site. This is where the nutritional information published on Our Lady of Second Helpings is generated.
