Ina Garten’s recipes are a dream. Every single one I have ever tried has been truly delicious. Flavors are bursting and my taste buds are happy when I’m eating a meal from the Barefoot Contessa. Another great thing about recipes from Ina is that they are simple. Not too much work goes into cooking one of her dishes and that’s just the way I like it. Simple, sweet, and delightful.
Today when I was at Costco I saw all four of Barefoot Contessa’s books on sale. They were cheap too and I just about died of happiness. I (of course) wanted them all, but restrained myself, as I have recently put myself on a budget. After flipping through the books I decided on the two pictured above. It was a hard decision, but it really came down to the
coconut cake (and cupcakes):

O.M.G. These look AMAZING. I’ve got an idea for making the coconut cake soon and I just cannot WAIT!
