Review: Great book for burnt out home cooks! - I love cooking but had been running low on inspiration & affordable meals to make, but thankfully this book fixed that problem! The recipes are definitely easy and Ree Drummond lets you know what pantry staples you should have around to keep these meals cheap & simple & good. All the recipes I've made so far have been extremely filling & also usually result in leftovers even with a family of 5, and most of them appeal to picky eaters too if you make some minor edits as needed! I've gotten members of my family eating things I never thought they would with this! The book is also well made & cute, and I love the pictures and step-by-step instructions. No complaints!!
