So far, I've made two recipes that turned out well. The Orange Marmalade Bread Pudding is "da bomb". I made the cheesy pasta dish with sausage and peppers and it was super fast, easy and good. I've bookmarked quite a few of her recipes that I will experiment with. I like the way she's divided up the chapters, based on how quickly the recipes can be made. There aren't any weird ingredients, either. At least, in my book there aren't!
