First glance we were not impressed with this cookbook. I mean chicken, salsa, and cheese come on who wouldn't know how to do that. But these simple recipes were d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s there was not a recipe that we didn't like. We did have one issue with this book however but this issue doesn't change our rating. These recipes are not for just one or two people. Most recipes were made in dishes where we commonly serve 8 people for a casserole. But who cares use these tasty recipes to serve eight instead of one. During the meeting we enjoyed the 20 minute teriyaki chicken and broccoli, slow cooker pulled BBQ chicken sandwiches, slow cooker white bean and kielbasa soup, creamy spinach artichoke pasta bake, cheesy baked Italian sausage tortellini, Italian sausage and pepper Stromboli, broccoli cheddar soup, and fluffy buttermilk pancakes with blueberry compote.
