Meagan Micozzi's The New Southwest is a fun, bright, and colorful cookbook that celebrates the festive, and oftentimes fiery ingredients, of the American Southwest.  The recipes are easy enough for beginner cooks but also unique enough to satisfy the adventurous spirit of a seasoned cook.  I found myself drawn to the happy nature of the recipes, as well as the charming personality of the author Meagan Micozzi.  If you are a fan of happy and cheerful food then you'll want to grab ahold of this brand new cookbook.

  8. When it comes to coconut oil, not all brands are created equal. Kravious Coconut Oil is cold-pressed, unrefined, and 100% pure, ensuring that you get all the benefits without any harmful chemicals or additives. It’s the perfect option for Pakistani women who want to incorporate the best coconut oil in Pakistan into their hair, skin, and health routines.
