A good friend of mine recommended this cookbook to me and when I found it at a discount at my local warehouse club several years ago I snatched it up! For me, you just can’t go wrong with any recipe from the editors of Southern Living Magazine as just about every one I’ve ever made has quickly become a family favorite. What I especially love about this cookbook are the great tips that accompany each recipe. Each recipe has a “clue” as to what the recipe will be like–either in terms of how to prepare or its appeal when made. Key clues include:
No-Fuss Entertaining
Make Ahead
Kid Friendly
Big Batch (i.e. can easily double or more)
Super Fast and Fresh
Stovetop Solution
5 Ingredients or Less
Ideas for Two
Freeze It
Editor’s Favorite
Simply Southern
Each recipe also includes the total time to prepare and cook the dish with a little “bubble” off to the side for easy planning at a glance based on how much time you have. TONS are 20-30 minutes total kitchen to table preparation.
Enjoy yummy things like Raspberry-Streusal Muffins, Parmesan-Pecan Turkey Cutlets, Pear Walnut Salad or Fiesta Burgers. Your mouth will be watering before you’ve even made up your meal plan with all they yummy recipes to choose from!
As always, happy cooking!
