Just because Fixer Upper's ending after this season doesn't mean Chip and Joanna Gaines are heading into early retirement. Beyond their product lines, running Magnolia Market and Silos Baking Co., and overseeing a magazine, the couple's getting ready to open a new restaurant in their Waco hometown — Magnolia Table — and are launching an eponymous cookbook to go with it.
On Monday, Joanna Gaines took to Instagram to share the cookbook's cover, featuring Gaines sitting at a rustic wooden table, shucking peas against a white shiplap wall. Shortly thereafter, Amazon uploaded the image, along with more details about what'll be included in the title.
The cookbook will focus on Gaines family's favorite recipes, as well as ones from their two eateries, Magnolia Table and Silos Baking Co. There will be 125 recipes in all, featuring dishes like chicken pot pie, white cheddar bisque, fried chicken with sticky poppyseed jam, and chocolate chip cookies. Gaines will also share stories and photos about her life, giving the book a more personal spin.
Magnolia Table isn't coming out until April 24, but it's available for preorder now, so if you have a Gaines fanatic who's got that modern farmhouse look down pat, you can always printout a pic of the book and give them something to look forward to on Christmas morning.
In the meantime, cookbook teasers aren't the only thing Gaines was spilling online. In her Instagram story, the mom of four also shared three failproof, no-bake sweets recipes she likes to make over the holidays.
Chip's Favorite: Chocolate Peanut Clusters
Talk about easy: Mix a bunch of dry-roasted peanuts in melted chocolate bark, scoop them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, and let them cool. No baking skills required.
The Kids' Favorite: Chocolate-Covered Ritz Cookies
Slather a little peanut butter between two Ritz crackers, dip them in milk or white chocolate, and cover with a chocolate drizzle and/or sprinkles.
The Crowd-Pleaser: Rolo Pretzels
We're fans of doing this with Reese's Cups, but Joanna's version looks just as delish. Cover a parchment-lined baking sheet with pretzels, top with Rolos, and bake until they're melty, about 2-3 minutes. When they're fresh out of the oven, smoosh them with a pecan half. Instant dessert.
To celebrate the book's upcoming release, Gaines also shared a few recipes from the book, like macaroni and cheese and green beans almandine, in a recent blog post.
