I think it's really kind of 2.5 stars. It's OK. The recipes I made turned out fine, but there are a lot with cream of whatever soup and things like that (and I didn't try those).

Flipped through this before having to return it to the library. Loads of yummy looking, easy to make recipes. Added a few recipes from the book to my Pinterest boards.

I borrowed an awesome cookbook from the public library a couple of weeks ago. This cookbook was so awesome that the day I HAD to return it? I went and bought a copy from the book store! In the time I had the book out, I mad 5 or 6 recipes from it. Every single one? I LOVED. They were quick and easy. They were delicious. And I can't wait to try more!!

The pasta there with broccoli and chicken? Chicken-Lemon Rigatoni with Broccoli. So easy. AND tastes REALLY good as a cold pasta salad!! Took 20ish minutes prep time, and a total of 45 mins from start to finish. Yesterday I made DELICIOUS Chicken Patties Parmigiana (I made them into a sandwich), this one? Start to finish? 20ish minutes.

What I love about this book is that it gives you awesome recipes using available premade stuff. Like using that roaster chicken already cooked at the grocery store, or canned soup.

Take a look at the index here. See all those awesome recipes? The book includes some tips on meal planning, grocery shopping, and even has thrown together some meal plans for you.

Two of my favourite recipes? Chicken and Noodles Skillet and Lemony Asparagus-Prosciutto Ravioli. And here are those two recipes!!

All of the recipes I've made so far have been delicious and also completely pain-free. Though I love baking, I get little joy from cooking real food. This has alleviated a little of that irksome feeling. Plus it has pretty pictures! And French flaps!
