Ten Dollar Dinners: 140 Recipes And Tips For Delicious, Budget-Friendly Meals The Whole Family Can Enjoy (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I typed up a lot of the recipes from this book, and I'm excited to try a lot of them. Some of them are simple but things I hadn't thought of before - like roasting broccoli with a bit of oil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Yum! I never enjoyed broccoli so much!Other than that I haven't tried much out of here yet, but it gets four stars for being promising enough for me to spend a lot of time getting the recipes down! I'll keep y'all updated as I cook :) I've flipped through this book twice now. My thought was maybe I was just in a snit the first time and wasn't giving it a fair shake. But here I am post second thumbing and I still just don't have a warm and fuzzy vibe. The pictures are great, although I think they should have edited the one where she looks like her eyes are closed. There definitely are a number of recipes and they cover all the categories I expected. I think though for me it came down to reality. I haven't studied abroad. I've never been to France. And while many of the meals are probably really good, I'm just not this kind of cook. I don't buy my beans dry & cook them myself, then store them frozen because it's cheaper than buying them canned, or heaven forbid put them in things like brownies and smoothies. I just can't see myself living this kind of kitchen/cooking life. I'm sure her cooking is super duper healthy too. Did I mention those smoothies have spinach in them too? But I'll stick with what works for me and just hit the club a couple extra times.
