Instead of “Art’s World” this week I decided to get my warped brain in gear and give this to you all instead for some laughs and yes you can steal these if you want to.

With Labor Day just over, the unofficial end of summer, we know a lot of you will be had cook outs, BBQ’s with friends, family, etc. So I have put together some fun cookbooks to help you in the kitchen with a variety of ideas throughout the year. So enjoy, have a smile and a laugh. Here is a look at these fun books that you won’t find in any bookstore.
