    Cookbooks spotted in the wild! I spent a lovely Cookbooks spotted in the wild! I spent a lovely afternoon shopping at @shopuvillage in Seattle this weekend. Of course I made a beeline for @papersource (I love stationery!) and enjoyed browsing their displays of cookbooks. (I didn’t buy any, as I already own most of these!) “Cake Picnic” was displayed prominently, as were “Good Things” and “By Heart.” “Cookies” was on offer, as well as “Mind Over Batter.” It was good to see “Baking Across America” still displayed as well! Fun to see the accessories these were displayed with. Great curations, Paper Source! -Carrie #cookbookcollector #cookbookdivas #cookbookaddict

    Take a look at my #groceryhaul of gluten free food Take a look at my #groceryhaul of gluten free foods for my friend who lives in a small town with few grocery store options. I shopped at a suburban Whole Foods Market near Seattle for these gluten free pastas, gluten free bread, and gluten free crackers. I was delighted to find gluten free panko as well. My friend does not eat sugar, so I skipped the gluten free cookies and baked goods aisle. Some of the brands you see here include Banza, Jovial, Franz, Manini’s, Canyon Bakehouse, Simple Truth, and Whole Foods’ own Simple Truth brand. Hope you enjoyed this #shoppinghaul video! -Carrie #cookbookdivas

    Behind the scenes look at a busy content creator’s Behind the scenes look at a busy content creator’s Thursday afternoon. I am at my vacation home this week, and it (purposely) doesn’t have an office. I am not able to “vacation mode” until Friday (tomorrow), and I have a ton of work piling up! (Keep in mind that Cookbook Divas is only one of several websites, blogs and social channels I run) 😩 Having a hard stop deadline of my dear friend and houseguest arriving tomorrow afternoon gives me an incentive to finish and put these books and cookbooks away in a closet to clear off my dining table again. Guests deserve to relax and day drink in an uncluttered vacation home! Hope you enjoyed this little POV and sneak peek of upcoming cookbook content! -Carrie #cookbookdivas #contentcreator #adayinthelife
