It's rare to find a humor author these days that can make you feel multiple emotions in the same book, but Mike ball does it with this funny yet sweet collection of writings. Each short story is packed with wit, charm, honesty and humor, so the transition between stories feels seamless and natural, making you feel as though you're listening to your neighbor tell you a story of his day rather than reading a book (your fun, entertaining neighbor, not the crotchety one).

This is a very sweet and inspiring book.  The author is quite  endearing.
The recipes are fun, although being fruitarian means every  meal is different and interesting.
The book is an encouragement to try  out something new.

This beautiful cookbook by blogger and mom Sarah Matheny is just plain fun to read -- it's filled with funny anecdotes of her own childhood and family life, and it is filled with non-intimidating, family-friendly recipes.  Peach cornbread, cheddar "bacon" scones, pineapple upside-down muffins, pumpkin cinnamon rolls.  All very yummy.  Although the recipes are veggie-oriented, they're not particularly unusual or out there -- just simple and delicious.  I would recommend this wonderful book to anyone trying to incorporate more simple vegetarian foods into her family's diet.

I love the off-beat humor and illustrations with wit that snaps back at you as you get the joke!  A fun read and great gift item.

I bought this cookbook just because it looked hilarious and I figured my fiance would enjoy it. It definitely has the crude (but funny) humor I was hoping for. I was expecting it to have very basic and typical recipes, but I was wrong! The recipes are "fancier" than I was expecting, and I can't wait to try them out. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the binding isn't as strong as I would have expected and sometimes the pages are a little hard to turn. Otherwise, it's a fun recipe book to have!

This book is a compilation of ten short but sweet stories.  We meet Allie, who dresses as a clown for a niece's birthday party and learns that there are some benefits to clowning around.  Then there is Lettie's mother who always prepares salmon for Lettie's birthday, but Lettie doesn't like salmon.  Perhaps the new owner of the local fish shop can change her mind. One of my favorites was "Say it With Flowers" as Mike and Allie flirt using flowers.  In another story, Anna realizes she shouldn't be at the speed dating event because her heart has alreday been given. And the list goes on, all excellent stories.

Beautiful pictures, easy to follow recipes, and cute little comic quips.  The author gives the reader an insight into her family and heritage.  I feel as though I am cooking alongside her.

Adorable short stories. My picky-eater LOVES this book. It doesn't help him eat any more food but we use the jokes in the book for more fun. :)

Enjoyed this author's easy to make (even for me) Halloween treats so I thought I'd give this one a try as well.  I hate being one of those guests that shows up at a party with a box of cookies she picked up at Trader Joe's.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I look at tables filled with adorable, handmade treats that people ooh and ahh over and think, "Someday that will be me."  This year it will be!

What I like most about these recipes is their simplicity.  Most (not all, certainly) start with pre-made products that you then cleverly manipulate into fun shapes and combinations.  The first time I set eyes on the Cheerios Christmas trees I thought, yeah that I can do.  I'll have to modify it a bit as I'm a strict vegetarian and marshmallows sadly aren't, but they're just so cute they're worth a little extra work.

I think if I had one suggestion for the author it would be to maybe include options for vegetarians, for those with nut allergies and maybe even for folks who can't handle gluten.  I think most of the recipes included could be pretty easily modified with just a tweak or two and they'd appeal to an even wider audience.

I bought it as a Christmas present for my friend. She loves it. My sister has one and we have been enjoying all of the  yummy recipes she has tried from it so far. The book layout is pretty sweet and the humor scattered through makes cooking more than fun. Great cookbook!

Enthusiastic energy in her writing... it makes you smile to read.  The recipes are simple and the ingredients are easily available.

Read the book in a real bad mood and it still made me giggle and laugh out loud several times.
The romance is foreseeable, the murderer not, the recipes add an individual touch and probably any grown woman could relate to some of the situations and agree that a treat of some sweets makes almost everything seem a little bit more tolerable for a while.

It was very small but a good collection of recipes with hilarious names like Bachelors pudding and Mormon gravy. I am going to try some of the recipes before I give it to my sister.
