This is a fantastic cookbook! Tons of color photographs (EVERY recipe has a photograph!) and all the recipes are super easy and well-explained and all the family tradition anecdotes are adorable. The cookbook is laid out into 52 meal plans consisting of a main dish, a side dish, and a dessert. Yes, that means there are 52 sweet tooth recipes in this cookbook! Mmm... everything looked so good it was hard to pick just a few to try and highlight!
Easy Salsa Rice: This got two thumbs up from us, and will become a staple on "Mexican Night" at our house. (And at our house, "Mexican Night" happens nearly once a week.) You mix together just six things (and one of those things is water) and microwave and voila!
Garlic Roasted Potatoes: Took me less than 10 minutes to prep; roasted for 45 minutes; delicious. The potatoes were just the right bit of garlicky and slightly crisp on the outside like we like them.
Gooey Lemon Bars: Shut the front door! These are SO GOOD! I just absolutely love lemony desserts and bake them all summer long. There's a crust-type layer that's soft & chewy topped by a gooey layer topped by a frosting layer. I do not think these will last long in our house.
Slow Cooker Roasted Vegetables: Super simple and delicious! You just chop all the veggies and throw them in the Crock Pot and forget about them for a few hours and then voila, a delicious and nutritious side. I'm testing these recipes in the hot southern summer, and I also like that this recipe uses the Crock Pot instead of the oven having to be turned on.
So these are just four of the many, many recipes I copied down from this book to try. I look forward to trying the rest in the next couple weeks. This was such a winner of a cookbook, I may gift it to a sister-in-love or niece next Christmas!
