Book Review - Simple Suppers

What’s for Supper?

Simple, family-favorite comfort foods and the  time-saving,  budget-conscious tips families need

Two years after her spectacular, best-selling first release (Simply Salads, Thomas Nelson, 2008) hit shelves, author Jennifer Chandler has returned to the table with the second course – Simply Suppers (Thomas Nelson, August 2010).

Suppers includes a recipe for every occasion, from casual weeknight dinners to elegant gatherings, and all the potluck suppers in between.

Easy-to-find ingredients, over 100 photos, simple step-by-step instructions and masterful time-saving, preparation, freezing and substitution tips will have readers in the kitchen preparing over 100 family-favorite comfort foods in no time, including entrées, side dishes, and desserts.

Suppers will also be hitting shelves just in time for busy families returning to school in the fall – and for whom the following items will be particularly helpful:

• 30 in about 30:  30 recipes that can be whipped up in about 30 minutes.  Includes soups, poultry, fish, beef, pork, pasta, sandwiches
• 10 leftover chicken makeovers:  10 ways to turn leftovers into something delicious
• 20 “Freezer Go-To” items:  recipes to make double batches of for freezing … and to save you when you don’t have time to cook.

My Take on the Book
As a person who likes to cook but doesn't have a lot of time to do it, this is a book that is filled with great resources and of course recipes that will save you time and give you a mouthwatering meal. I have tried several of the recipes and they were not only delicious, but so easy to reproduce. 

The author Jennifer uses simple, fresh, and easy-to-find ingredients to create her meals, and this combination creates dishes that the whole family will enjoy. 

I mentioned that the book also included resources. The front of the book provides quick but useful lists, such as 30, 30 minute meals, 10 ideas for leftover chicken, and 20 dishes that are well-suited for freezing.

Overall, this is a great book and one that I am looking forward to using even more than I already have in the future!

If this book sounds like one you would like in your own home you can find it on Amazon!
