This week’s Inspired By comes from the queen of gluten-free and author of Gluten-Free on a Shoestring, Quick and Easy, Nicole Hunn! Nicole shares her five picks that inspire her as an author/blogger/mom extraordinaire:

Heartburn by Nora Ephron

“My favorite book of food writing, even though it’s a novel. Sadly, don’t bother with the movie, though. Read the book!”

One Bite Won’t Kill You by Ann Hodgman

“She’s a cookbook author, sure, but she’s a truly irreverent humorist. She makes it all fun.”

The I Hate To Cook Book by Peg Bracken

“She gave women permission of all kinds.”

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards

“Because I spent many, many years in the exclusive domain of the left side of my brain, and now embrace the right side, too. She explains why that is so important.”

Crossing To Safety by Wallace Stegner

“It’s my favorite novel of all time. It’s lilting and lovely and all about character development and friendship that stands the test of time. The pace of that book influences everything I write.”
