I have a new favorite cookbook! I think there are more recipes in here that I will actually make than in any other cookbook I own. Simple, yes but that’s a good thing! Especially since most are combos I’d not thought of myself.

Some recipes may seem redundant, but I like being reminded every now and then after a few long months of cooking the same things at home. I will always prefer the simple recipes. The most annoying thing about home cooking is purchasing all the different ingredients and then letting half of it spoil after you've finished that one recipe. This is oddly one of the most used cookbooks I have.

I got this book for less than 5 dollars during a clearance sale, but it's one of my fav cookbooks on the bookshelf. Its always back to the basics-simple & healthy foods. when $ is tight and you need to plan simple meals or a low budget party, this rocks. it also inspires you to think of your own variations of the recipe.
