Rebel Homemaker by Drew Barrymore
I didn't have any expectations with this cookbook, but based on the title and that it was Drew Barrymore I wanted to check it out. But, I felt like it was a lot of nothing and not very many recipes either. And it felt like the majority of the recipes were seafood, which I am allergic to and can't eat. I liked the idea of the book and that Barrymore was inspired to have a garden and grow and cook more homemade food, but the reality just fell flat for me. If this wasn't Drew Barrymore I don't think it would have even been published.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy! by Ree Drummond
I feel bad rating a Pioneer Woman cookbook with only 2 stars, but I just didn't like this one. I felt like her earlier cookbooks focused on more from-scratch cooking and this one focused on a lot of pre-made, convenience ingredients. I think anyone who cooks regularly knows that from-scratch is not always time consuming and can be just as fast (and taste better) as most convenience foods. There were like 2 recipes I want to try, but usually with her cookbooks there are several I want to try. I personally wouldn't recommend this one.
