Since I found out we were moving, I've been thinking more and more about making a cookbook to have the first two years (thenewlywed years) documented. I also know people like my grandparents don't read the blog, but Grandma's always asking for recipes. And personally, I have many of my recipes in my head, but sometimes I can't remember my chocolate chip cookies and hate sifting through my blog, I'd rather have it in writing.
So... for the past 2 months, I've gone through my blog, picked out my original and most favorite recipes from the past 2 years, and turned them into a cookbook!
The book is in full color, photos of every recipe, a few meal collections, lots of photos of friends and family, and a little of my personal writing. It has over 100 original recipes, and will be ready to buy in about a month! I got my first copy a few days ago, and my sister is editing it for me, so it will be ready as soon as Kris gets her changes in!
I'll be selling it for around $30, with a discount for larger orders. I don't have the order form made up yet, hopefully sometime next week, and the first run of books will be in around October 1. I'll be taking pre-orders for a month, and then will order them in increments of 10 there after... but I'll keep you all posted.
Here's the cover photo, and then me with the first run copy of the book!

SHUT UP! What a fabulous idea!! And I'm totally loving the cover photo. Too cute, Ash!!
That's awesome. Where are you publishing through? A friend of mine recently got married and I made a cookbook for her through Taste Book with my favorite recipes and pictures of her and her husband and dog. It turned out very cute.
That is really awesome. I can't wait to get one!
That is SO cool. I can't wait to get my copy. I'm always looking up past recipes.
Are your doggie treat recipes in there?
I love that idea!
You look so beautiful in your cover shot. I love that dress from J.Crew! I have it in a blue and white print that I adore!
I am so excited! I will happily buy your cookbook. I have always liked your cooking blog so much more than any other cookbook.
Your kitchen is already so organized and clean!
I meant to tell you this for a while but on our anniversary (7-14) Nate and I were talking about how things have changed since the first year of marriage. He said that he should send you a care package because since finding your blog I have been much happier with cooking. And I am! He is happy that I don't dread cooking and he is loving the recipes.
WOW! Congrats! What a great cover pic too!
