Editorial Reviews

"[Y]ou need to be following Barbara "Babs" Costello…From her soothing series of philosophical pep talks, dubbed A Slice of Peace, to her Weekly Rotation recipes and easy spring cleaning ideas, Costello speaks to her internet audience as if we are her own children and grandchildren: uplifting, instructive, and sharing her life lessons." –Bon Appetit

"You may know Barbara Costello from her charming and helpful social media presence, @brunchwithbabs-now, everyone can welcome Babs to their holiday table with her approachable, family-friendly recipes. She may not actually be your grandma, but with her holiday recipes, she'll become an honorary member of the family." –Food52

This was so easy to follow and has recipes for all levels! Will definitely be using this weekend in my Easter meal. The cover is beautiful!!

This cookbook is absolute perfection. The pictures and the ‘Babs says’ on every recipe take it to the next level. Prior to the cookbook I would make just about everything Babs shared on Instagram and her recipes are delicious yet don’t require a degree in culinary arts. I’m excited to incorporate her traditions into my family.

Such a great cookbook. I made the overnight French toast casserole last night and it was delicious! I’ve also made the overnight breakfast casserole with Challah and it’s equally as good. I love that all her recipes are true family, tried and true recipes and not just ones created for a book. You know they are going to be good when these recipes have stood the test of time and been passed down. Thanks Babs! Can’t wait to make more out of this gorgeous book.
