Title: YUMMY!!!
Review: Great cookbooks... I have two and will probably buy more. I sit and read them like a good novel. Today I am making the tex-mex casserole. All her recipes are very doable with no exotic ingredients I have never heard of. I have many cookbooks but hers are up there with my favorites.

Title: Excellent!
Review: I've had this book for awhile, but just ordered her other 2 today. The meals seem intimidating at first, but they are surprisingly easy and delicious! I've even tried making a couple adjustments on them and they still turn out great! (I.e. blueberries vs strawberries in the blonde brownies, using regular organic flour vs oat flour, etc). So excited to get the other 2 books!!

Title: Good, healthy, easy to follow but not simple ingredients
Review: So my husband usually does all the cooking but he is severely injured so I’ve had to take over. He also has celiac so I bought this cookbook because it’s a celeb cook book that doesn’t use a chef and has a lot of gf recipes! So far I’ve tried the cheesy prosciutto pasta, Buffalo chicken casserole, blue blueberry muffins and the choc cherry shake. The pasta and casserole were both phenomenal and as a VERY amateur cook, the directions were easy to follow and truly did take only about a half hour to pull together. Sometimes you have to do a few steps at once, but it wasn’t too bad. Blue blueberry muffins my gf husband and one year old loveddd, but they were a smidge too green tasting for me, but still good. I know another reviewer loved the choc cherry shake but I couldn’t finish even half of it because it had a funky taste and I would not describe it as decadent, I’m not the healthiest eater so maybe I just need to come more accustomed to some of the flavors. I give this 4 stars because the ingredients can be a huge pain it feels like each recipe uses a different type of flour and a different type of milk, I feel like I need 8 of each to suffice for this cookbook and if you’re a newbie, like me, that’s overwhelming. Many of these ingredients are also very expensive and I do wonder if there are modifications that can be made so you use more of the same ingredients, so that can be a little frustrating too. It’s also unlikely you’d be able to find all the ingredients you need at one stop. I use thrive and even they didn’t have all the flours and milks mentioned. All and all, I’ve been pretty excited about how all of this has come out and my husband has been blown away! Also feel good about all of them because they all are very healthy!! Just brace yourself when you make your shopping list and be prepared to make some extra stops and spend more.

Title: Simple, nutritious meals and good!
Review: I originally bought this cookbook because I love Kristin and I just like to support her. Now I’m going to go get the other books she has! We’ve made several of the meals so far and all have been delicious. They’re easy and quick enough to make during a busy week and a lot of the stuff I already have on hand. I’m excited to try some of the snack/dessert stuff for my son! A must for the busy mom who still wants her family to be eating healthy.
