Super fun book! I love that the pages are laminated so the kids can check off steps with a dry erase marker. And there are ideas for games to play during cooking waiting times. Using this cookbook would ensure an entire evening activity!

The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon

I'm so mad because thise is the 2nd time I've tried to read this book and I stopped at about the same point last time too.

I loved the first few books, they were so romance heavy. I love the adventure too...but I can't do all the adventure without the romance. And I miss being in Scotland. Watching the show is a better use of my time to ingest the story.
