If you ever visited my home and looked through my cookbook collection, it would be very easy to tell which cookbooks are my favorites! They are the cookbooks that are covered in food splatter, and have broken bindings and dog-eared pages. My top two cookbooks that I reference time and time again are The Happy Cook by Daphne Oz and the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. The Happy Cook is packed full of creative, veggie-forward meals. The New Cookbook contains all of the tried-and-true classic recipes. It's my go-to cookbook when I am making a birthday cake and it has NEVER let me down.
