This weeks question is:

What was your favorite gift that you received this year for Christmas?

Well, look below and see.

My mom gave me the Pioneer Woman's cookbook. I was SUPER excited to receive. :)

I had really been needing this pot(I make a lot of dishes that require the use of a dutch oven). And thanks to my dad, whom had given me a gift certificate for Christmas to this cool cooking store, and some other relatives that gave me Christmas money, I was able to purchase this:

My best friend gave me this cooking book, too. I really wanted to make some burgers, fries and shakes!! My husband got a shake maker for Christmas, so we will have lots of fun.
I am very excited about the pot and cookbooks. I feel very blessed to have received these and cannot wait to try and be creative in the kitchen! On the menu tonight: The Pioneer Woman's meatloaf and olive cheese bread!
Oh, and more thanks to my hubby, because if not for him, we would not have purchased our new camera, and I would not be able to take these cool (well, I think they are; I tried) pictures. :)
