I want to plan a couple holidays and gatherings with loved ones to celebrate being together. Since I am a bit out of practice, I know I will need help to get into the groove of things.

Antoni: Let’s Do Dinner
by Antoni Porowski
If you’re like me, easy dinners are a must-have. Also, I enjoy filling my body full of healthy meals. This is why I adore the Antoni: Let’s Do Dinner cookbook. These recipes will nourish our bodies and take little effort to create. Take a look!
Porowski wants cooking to be approachable and entertaining, so he keeps shopping lists short and steps and pans to a minimum. You will still make scrumptious meals. Not only that, but you won’t lose the appeal of being together. Each meal still maintains being special!
There’s a whole array of recipes for vegans, vegetarians, meat-eaters, and people who are gluten-free. Porowski is inclusive and has thought of it all!
Some recipe examples are: Ginger Curry Glazed Carrots, Best Damn Nachos, Shrimp and Chicken “Paella”, and so much more.
Antoni: Let’s Do Dinner is fantastic for families, couples, and those going solo.
Cravings: All Together: Recipes to Love
by Chrissy Teigen & Adeena Sussman
I know Chrissy Teigen hasn’t had the best year on Twitter, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still love her recipes and food. Check out her brand new cookbook “Cravings: All Together: Recipes to Love”! It looks fantastic.
You will still get unfiltered and hilarious Chrissy throughout this cookbook that many of us fell in love with. She is a fantastic guide for making food taste extra special using distinct ingredients.
I’m really interested in her Potato Chip & Peanut Butter Seven Layer Bars – A little sweet and salt is going to make a delightful treat! She also gives us recipes for Thai-style Sloppy Joes and Chickpea Crunch Wraps!
Many of these dishes in Cravings: All Together: Recipes to Love cookbook are comforts for Chrissy’s family. They’re those recipes that make you feel like everything is going to be alright. I know this is something I have been needing lately.
This cookbook is going to be a hit this autumn season, because it’s basically a big hug for your tummy.
