My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As a busy homeschool mom, easy one-dish dinners are a blessing! I like to make nice, more complex dinners as well, but sometimes you just have one of those days that you need a quick (at least a quick prep!) dish with less clean up afterwards. That’s where this book comes in. 101 dishes for either the dutch oven, skillet or casserole.
There is a great variety with the book divided into four main sections: Soups and Stews, Skillet Suppers, Oven-Baked Suppers and Salad Suppers. You also have a variety of cuisines from Italian Wedding Soup to Louisiana Red Beans & Rice, Vietnamese Shrimp & Noodle (or Vegetable) Salad, Thai Beef Salad, Moussaka, Arroz con Pollo, Irish Stew and so much more!
I was tickled to see King Ranch Chicken as I have good memories or this dish at church potlucks growing up! New England Seafood Chowder…well, what’s not to love?! I like that you can just follow the recipe as is, or you can get creative and add even more seafood if you’d like! I really want to try the Mediterranean Seafood Stew next!
This is not high-brow, fancy cooking, but dishes that are easy to put together and tend to be family favorites. This is a great book for those nights you just need an easy meal to feed your family. Give it a try!
I received a copy of this book from Storey Publishing for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
