Recently someone asked us, “What kinds of hobbies do you two have?” and we looked at one another blankly as if trying to search for elegant phrasing for, “We like to say hello to each other at 10 PM when we’re both finally home from work, turn on Unwrapped, and fall asleep before learning how Ding Dongs are assembled.” After moments of awkward silence, Mr. PH blurted, ecstatically, “COOK! We like to cook!!”

“YES!” I chimed in, relieved. “Yes! We do like to cook!”

Enter: Mrs. Bruschetta’s awesome cookbook-guestbook idea. Isn’t she clever? I love the idea of having a guest book that will do double-duty, particularly in the kitchen.

I’m forever collecting recipes, bookmarking them, clipping them out, and/or blogging about them. I read cookbooks like novels. Mr. Potato Head, due to his jam-packed schedule, does his cooking late at night, fumbling with timers and spices at 1 a.m. What I’m saying is, we need some organization in our cooking lives. We couldn’t find a cookbook that really spoke to us, but MamaChips found a sweet alternative.

It’s a personalized recipe and entertaining journal, with plenty of space inside for future recipes, notes, and well-wishes from our guests. We’ve ordered it in green and inscribed “Oh happy day” on the side (to go with our yet-to-be-constructed signage). Like the Williams-Sonoma picture (above), I’ll probably store it next to my jars of preserved lemons above my ribbon drawer.

I like that it doesn’t scream “WEDDING!” I love the little pineapple on the cover. And we’ll really enjoy the heartfelt messages within when we go about making culinary messes.

What are you planning to use for a guest book?
