If you’re an OG Down in the Hollow follower, you know that I think the kitchen is the heart of the home. And I love sharing things I’m cooking up in my kitchen for my family or for gatherings with friends. When I started sharing cooking and recipe content, I didn’t know how it would go over, but there’s been so much engagement and interaction! I’m loving it! Because of that, I thought I’d share some pretty solid cookbooks that you definitely need on your kitchen shelves (or wherever you keep cookbooks ha).

Every Monday I do a Monday Meal Plan on Instagram Stories, which I save on a Meal Plan highlight on my profile. I’ve had SO many followers reach out and ask for recipes to what they see on these meal plans. Originally, I started doing meal plan lists to give some inspiration for your next trip to the grocery store if you’re blanking on what to make for dinner. I didn’t think it would catch on like it has and that y’all would actually want the recipes and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that y’all have really engaged over these. While I do get a lot of dinner recipes from Pinterest, if you’ve seen my “Itchin’ To Show You My Kitchin” blog post (link here: https://downinthehollow.com/2019/08/01/itchin-to-show-you-my-kitchen/) then you know I have a massive cookbook collection. When I’m putting together my meal plan lists, I consult a mix of Pinterest inspiration and also pull cookbooks off the shelves to pour over. So I had such a fun time putting together this list for you all to grab some serious cooking inspo and all at extremely good prices!

So far I’ve only shared a recipe for peach thyme lemonade and some marinated olives, but as this blog takes off I will continue to share cooking/baking/hosting/cocktails/etc content. Thank you all so much for sharing in this with me and please let me know in the comments if there’s anything specifically you’d like to see!

XOXO, Thessali
