You all know how much I love Martha Stewart. And since it’s the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to feature Martha’s Handmade Christmas book. It’s packed with timeless ideas for Christmas gifts you can make yourself. Tiny boxes made from acorns! A living wreath made of succulents! And even potato stamps! The best part?…
One Cent Books | The Best of Cooking Light
Cooking Light is one of my favorite magazines. I look forward to its arrival every month because it always has such great meal ideas–meals that are light, but don’t feel like they’re light. They really have a knack for making you not know you’re eating something that’s lower in calories or fat. So if each…
One Cent Books | New Flavors for Desserts: Classic Recipes Redefined
Surely I’m not the only one who loves going into Williams-Sonoma to ogle the cookbooks. They have a great selection and I’ve been impressed with the Williams-Sonoma brand cookbooks too. This particular book is about putting a different spin on traditional dessert recipes–it’s all about using new flavors and getting out of your culinary rut….
One Cent Books | Joy of Cooking Christmas Cookies
Do you bake cookies for Christmas? I did once, and I have to say, it wasn’t exactly a joy. It was more of a monumental disaster. But for those of you who bake for the holidays, this is a one cent book you’ll want to check out–there are more than 100 recipes for cookies and…

One Cent Books | $3 Slow-Cooked Meals
When the chilly weather comes each fall, for some reason it makes me want to break out the crock pot and start slow cooking. The name of this book is a little misleading because the $3 is per person, not the total cost of the meal. But that’s still pretty good–much cheaper than eating out,…
One Cent Books | The Martha Stewart Cookbook
Oh man, I love Martha Stewart. She combines craftiness, business acumen, and a frosty demeanor in a way that is totally inspiring to me. It’s a good thing! This cookbook might be a few years old, but classic recipes never go out of style. And this book has 1600 (!!!) recipes. That’s right, 1600 recipes……
One Cent Books | Top 100 Finger Foods
Quick nutritious recipes that even the pickiest toddlers will love–there’s 100 recipes in here, so surely there’s got to be more than a few winners, right? I mean, look at the cute mini-burgers on the cover! I would eat the heck out of those (as long as they’re vegetarian!) and I’m 30. The best part…
One Cent Books | Ice Cream Treats
This isn’t an ice cream cookbook. It’s a cookbook that shows you how to use store-bought ice cream to make desserts like tortes and ice cream sandwiches. So it’s more of a book about assembly. But sometimes when you want an easy dessert, assembly-type recipes are what you need. And hey, it’s only a penny!*…
