Great Simple Cookbook
This book was a gift for a friend, but admittedly I scoped some of the recipes before giving it to her! We both love Your Barefoot Neighbor, and his cook book did not disappoint. The recipes are all, as the title implies, very simple. They are great for busy parents or nights when you just don't feel like putting a ton of effort into cooking, but you don't want to pay for takeout. Highly recommended.

Best cookbook I've ever bought. I have made so many recipes for my family and each and everyone has been a hit. Everything is SO easy and quick and delicious. I don't love cooking so these are perfect for me because I'm feeding my family home cooked meals that require little effort, minimal groceries and ingredients needed and always a crowd pleaser!
