Review
I love to cook and right now during this pandemic, I feel like I am cooking more than normal. I don’t think I really am but it just feels that way.
I was excited to receive this cookbook in the mail and as usual, these sisters know how to put together a cookbook and make it simple so that cooks of any skill level could use these recipes. I might even be able to convince my husband to try his hand at some of these dishes. As you leaf through this cookbook, the brilliant color photos leap off the page and many times I found myself stopping and gazing (okay, maybe drooling) over the photos and adding the recipe to my queue to prepare.
The cookbook is divided into sections for Breakfast, Lunch, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Snacks and Desserts. This book covers pretty much any possibility when it comes to mealtime. With a wide variety of options, you are bound to find a recipe for even the pickiest eater.
I’m always looking for new ideas for main dishes and found quite a few I wanted to try here at home. I had most of the ingredients on hand so it was easy to whip up the dishes. Everything turned out delicious and we were quite content. So far I have tried these dishes: Grilled Cajun-Lime Chicken, Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken, Garlic Steak Kabobs, and the Lemon-Garlic Salmon. Side note, I think the lemon garlic sauce for the salmon would be divine on chicken too. For the lime, I did substitute bottled lime juice because I forgot to purchase limes on my grocery run, but it still turned out well. Even though I’m in Texas, our grill hasn’t been used in a while (yes I know, that is blasphemy) but I had a grill pan I used on the stove.
As I was leafing through the book while writing this review, I stumbled across a Loaded Bell Peppers breakfast recipe and I think I might have found my next dish to try one weekend morning. There is also a Dark Chocolate Zucchini Cake that looks good. I wonder if I could make that and not tell my husband about the zucchini and he would eat it? Something to think about. I also just stumbled across Baked Cinnamon Apple Crisps, what a healthy snack, and just 2 ingredients – apples and cinnamon. I could go on and on but I keep finding new possibilities to try and this cookbook is going to be a staple in my repertoire.
