Homemade-ish by Lauren McDuffie
I'm a big proponent of making things from scratch - it's often not as time consuming as you think and usually tastes better and is cheaper. That said, sometimes you don't have the time to make something from scratch but still want to eat well. So, I thought this cookbook might have some good recipes to check out. I liked that in the introduction she talks about her food philosophy being in "the middle" between everything from scratch and just buying takeout to eat. I also liked that she made sure all the recipes are made with ingredients that aren't hard to source and without lots of fancy kitchen appliances. But, I personally wasn't impressed with the recipes. There really wasn't much that looked good or that I wanted to try. I do agree with her food philosophy and I wish there were a few recipes I wanted to try. I wouldn't recommend this one.
The Weekday Vegetarians Get Simple by Jenny Rosenstrach
I always liked Jenny Rosenstrach's blog, Dinner, a Love Story and have read two of her other cookbooks. I didn't realize that she had decided to be a "weekday vegetarian" but decided to still check out this cookbook. I'm definitely NOT a vegetarian but I do love vegetables and finding more vegetable forward meals isn't a bad thing. There were a few recipes I want to try but overall I felt like the majority of the recipes in here weren't enough food or protein to be the main course.
