I'm really excited! I ordered Maria Emmerich's new book and Jimmy Moore's Ketogenic cookbook. They should be here tomorrow!! Do y'all have a favorite go to cookbook??? I find myself making the same things all the time so I'm always looking for new inspiration.

    I find I use them less and less actually in this digital age. I do mostly Pinterest, and have a few fave sites.

    I have one of those 4x6 photo album things that I use as my cookbook...I usually just find recipes on the internet and print them, then if I like them they end up in the cookbook, if not they end up in the trash...

    Tcunbeliever - that is a great idea. I have two I like but I’ve been using the internet a ton. Keto connect and carb maven have good creative recipes. Both my cookbooks are kindle versions which isn’t ideal but I didn’t want to spend the money of I didn’t really like them. I like Simply Keto is one book by Suzanne something.

    Same here, I even copy over some recipes from larger cookbooks to keep in my smaller favorites book.

    I have a couple and have my fave go to recipes but usually I just google. Eg for tonite I took out a pork roast and thought I wld use the slow cooker so googled that and it took me to a recipe at dietdoctor.com. Easy breezy. But sometimes it is fun to scroll through Keto cookbooks or recipes on a Keto site to get new ideas and inspiration. Enjoy!!!!

    So far, my favorite cookbook is 500 Ketogenic Recipes by Dana Carpender. I like that she keeps them pretty simple. There’s a nice description at the beginning of each recipe. I too, get recipes online, with dietdoctor.com having some winners. I love the pizza crust I got from there and my grandson thought it was pretty tasty as well, a bonus!

    Cookbooks are handy to have in the kitchen. I can be kinda messy so there's no way I want my tablet anywhere near my kitchen and I generally just google keto recipes online on my desktop in the office, then if it looks good I'll print a copy for kitchen use, and bookmark the site.

    For the last 10 years or so I've been keeping a 5" binder of favorite recipes. I'll try them and if they make the cut of "keeper", I'll save them in the binder. It is a mish mash of recipes torn from magazines taped to an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, recipes printed from the Internet and hand written recipes from old cookbooks and friends.

    Yep. I imagine it harbors oodles of germs. :#

    I also use the internet a lot for recipes. One day I'll get them organized and in a binder. Does that count as exercise?

    @kpk54 I started putting mine in clear plastic sleeves about a year ago so only the new additions are stain free :D
