Raise your hand if you haven’t bought any Christmas gifts yet this year (waving wildly over here). The good news is that I’ve heard that my cookbook, Love Real Food, makes a terrific gift. If you have purchased the book for yourself and your friends and family, thank you so much for your support. If you don’t have a copy yet, add it to your Christmas list!
One of my favorite gifts I’ve received over the years was a cookbook with a set of measuring spoons. It was a cute and thoughtful gift, and I reached for those measuring spoons in my drawer earlier today.
So, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite gift-worthy items to give along with a copy of Love Real Food. For even more gift ideas, don’t miss my 2017 holiday gift guide.

I LOVE Theo chocolate! I live close their adorable factory in Seattle and the whole neighborhood smells like dark chocolate.

These are great gift ideas. I actually just purchased your cookbook from amazon. I can’t wait to get it. My goal for 2018 is to eat more healthy homemade foods.

Thank you, Linda for your support! I love hearing you have made so many recipes :) If you would want to leave a review on Amazon(if you haven’t already) I would really appreciate it!

I’ve been following your blog for a couple of months now and really love your fresh recipes that seem to be packed with very nutritious and healthy ingredients. I decided to buy your book after browsing some of the free pages on Amazon and I’m so glad I did. I just made my first recipe from the book, Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, and they are soooo yummy. I also love that you love your dog so much. I was hoping you’d have one dog treat recipe but didn’t see one. Anyway, the book is a smart investment for anyone that wants to eat better. The pictures are beautiful too. Each recipe has a picture which I appreciate. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys cooking and eating healthier.
Kate
Thanks for the support, Susan! That is a wonderful recipe. I will be sure to let Cookie know she has another fan.

Hi Kate, having a hard time keeping “Love Real Food” from getting kitchen splatters as I use it so often. Do you have a favourite cookbook stand you could add to your gift guide list above?
Thanks!
Kate
Great problem to have! I don’t have a favorite cookbook stand. All mine are also splattered :)
