Biscuit Head: New Southern Biscuits, Breakfasts, and Brunch by Carolyn and Jason Roy
All you have to say when it comes to food is biscuits - and I'm in! I wasn't familiar with the Biscuit Head restaurant in Asheville, NC before reading this cookbook, but now that I know about it I'll definitely check it out next time we're there. There is not much better than a really good Southern biscuit and this cookbook does not disappoint! The first chapter is biscuit recipes, then there are chapters about what to put "on your biscuit," "in your biscuit," and "on the side." There are definitely some recipes I'd like to try and if you're a fan of Southern biscuits for any meal then this cookbook is for you!
The Gourmet Kitchen: Recipes from the Creator of Savory Simple by Jennifer Farley
Jennifer Farley could never figure out what she wanted to do when she grew up. She had a variety of jobs and careers before deciding at the age of twenty-nine she quit her job and enrolled in culinary school. She started a blog to have a creative outlet for her recipes while in culinary school. This cookbook is a compilation of those recipes from her blog.
While I loved her late-bloomer story and the cookbook is full of beautiful pictures, there just weren't a lot of recipes that I wanted to try. It's not a bad cookbook, it's just not one that resonates with me and what I want to cook. But, good for Jennifer Farley for going for what she wants!

Rise & Shine: Better Breakfasts for Busy Mornings by Katie Sullivan Morford
I LOVED this cookbook! I love a good breakfast anyway, but this cookbook really gives a TON of great recipes and ideas for healthy, easy breakfasts. I was especially impressed that she had a recipe that mimics a Carnation Instant Breakfast drink (which I love). There are so many recipes I want to try from this book and if you're looking for some new breakfast recipes this is definitely one to check out!
The Whole30 Cookbook by Melissa Hartwig
I had heard of the Whole 30 movement, but I guess I didn't realize it was basically a Paleo diet. While I'm not against doing an elimination diet if you're trying to figure out food allergies/sensitivities, but I just can't get behind a diet that doesn't allow dairy, pasta or beans. I just have zero interest in trying to cut out cheese and pasta from my diet. If you're into Paleo this might be a great cookbook, but it wasn't for me.
