Good Cheap Eats Dinner in 30 Minutes (Or Less) Book Review

I was excited to see this cookbook when I looked at the library website when I was looking for new cookbooks.  I was even more excited when I read the cover after I got it home to realize that it was the blog that I loved to read!!  Good Cheap Eats Dinner in 30 Minutes or Less: Fresh, Fast, and Flavorful Home-Cooked Meals, with More Than 200 Recipes by Jessica Fisher was a good cookbook that had lots of interesting recipes.

In over 200 recipes, Jessica Fisher shows time-pressed cooks how they can eat remarkably well without breaking the bank. Good Cheap Eats serves up 65 two-course dinners, consisting of a main dish and a substantial side, salad, or soup, all of which take 30 minutes or less to prepare. And as a mother of six and a busy parent, she shows home cooks how to get dinner on the table quickly and inexpensively without relying on heavily processed shortcuts or artificial ingredients. Great for time-pressed couples, families with picky eaters, or singles that need a quick solution to dinner tonight, Jessica's two-course pairings are artfully conceived and perfectly complementary.

The best part of the book are the stories that go with each recipe and along the side.  There is also an amazing beginning with lots of information that is helpful to have meals on the table in 30 minutes.  I think that my favorite ones include Out of the Box Rice Pilaf, Loaded Potato Soup, Garlic Herb Mini Breads, Creamy Mushroom Pilaf (without the mushrooms) and Cilantro Lime Rice.  Although there are many other recipes that I think that I would eat if someone served them to me, I don't know if I would go out of my way to try them for my family.  I hope that you check out this cookbook and see if there are any recipes for things that your family might love and try them for yourselves.
