In Opinion

Personally, I like everything about this cookbook, except for the 'Sweets for the Holidays'. There are no microwave recipes or no bakes. I am all about ease and no stress. What if a child would want to prepare cookies?

My favorites out of every chapter are the Party Potatoes, Black Bean Chili and Cinnamon Mocha Coffee Mix.

Potatoes are cheap Black beans are cheap. The ingredients for the cinnamon mocha coffee mix may be bought at the dollar store.

I give this cookbook a 5-star rating out of 5!
