Anyone that juggles work and home would love this cookbook! It is full of easy, simple recipes and by looks of it, most everything can be found in your pantry.  The book is divided into days of the week and provides recipes. For example, Mondays are “Comfort Food” which includes things like Roast Chicken with Gravy, Savory Meatloaf, and Three Bean Chili with Sausage.  Thursdays are “Mexican Night” with recipes for Chicken Tacos and Mexican Chicken and Black Bean Soup.  Each day of the week includes twelve different recipes, and if followed, you could have a different type of meal every day of the year.  How ingenious. But, there is more.  The book includes salads for every day, breads, and deserts.

I tried the Crock-Pot Roast Beef Dinner and it’s very good, however, I did feel the recipe called for too much brown sugar and eliminated it all together.  Coupled with the suggested Reds and Greens Salad, it certainly passed the test.

The second recipe I tried was Road Salmon with Tarragon.  It’s an extremely simple recipe.  This is the first time I’ve used tarragon with salmon and loved it.

Liz Edmonds has provided one of those “you need only one” cookbooks.  It has everything in it, and certainly will simplify a busy person’s life.  I highly recommend “The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner” by Liz Edmonds!
