Review

This was a fun cookbook to read through. I liked the very simple recipes and easy ingredients Denise incorporates in her recipes. The stuff can be found at any grocery store and you wont be combing health food stores for things you've never heard of.....I think this cookbook would be great for single moms, family's who are super-busy or people who just need easy recipes but still want to cook a big meal. We have a few nights during the week when its just complete nonsense over here, I made Denise's Sloppiest Sloppy Joe's and the kids devoured them.

**While I think this cookbook was fun and easy, its way to pricey on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, I would look for it on sale or check it out from the library before spending the money.

Rating

Its all about chicken, meat and flavors....anyone can read this and cook a recipe from it, I would recommended it to anyone (except PETA people) who enjoy easy cooking....

3/5- Cookbook
