I work a lot of hours and I have a 2hour daily commute.
I decided I was tired of blah foods and wanted to do something about it.
So, I purchased some new cookbooks.
This one is one that I have been using the most.
I made a Chili Soup, Easy Brown Rice, Beef Stew, a Baked Rice dish.
At tops my prep time was around 10 minutes.
There is a lot to recommend in this book.
The recipes are easy and the ingredients are things that you would likely have in your cabinets or refrigerator.They list where each recipe is from.(As far as the state they got the recipe from)
The editor sometimes list additional things for the recipe.Like in one recipe where it said Tomato Juice.They added at the bottom that V8 was just as good.
Easy to read.Sometimes you had 2-3 recipes on one page.
In the back of this book they list every cookbook they researched and got recipes from.
I have in addition to this their Best of Best Florida Cookbook.
They also have in the very back of the book before the index a couple of selections.
One is Equivalent.Like 1 pound of flour would be 4 1/2 cups.
Then they have another area for measurements.
They also have Substitutions.Lke 1 sliced cook bacon=1 tablespoon of bacon bits.
They give you Oven-to-Crockpot Cooking Time Conversions.
Pan sizes for baking.
Very good information and has made cooking much more enjoyable for me.
So far my partner has said only one thing about something I cooked and it was because *I* made cooked something too long and it was dryer than it should had been.
