Review:
This is a fun cookbook, with over 100 recipes, covering everything from appetizers to breakfast to lunch to dinner to desserts, all with simple, easy to make recipes. The idea is recipes that Dad can handle, but they are also great for Dad to make with the kids (you know for those rare times he's left with them and has to cook a meal!). The recipes are tasty and you may find yourself bookmarking quite a few. My only complaint was the color pictures seemed to be on the 'easy' recipes, like tacos and pancakes, when they would have been better served to be on dishes that the reader might not be familiar with, like Figgy Piggy Pouches the Honea Bea Sandwich (no honey included), or Eggshell Cupcakes.
If you're a fan of quick and simple, you'll love this cookbook. The book would be a great Father's Day gift for divorced dads, granddads who are taking on more cooking now that they are retired, or even for guys moving out on their own for the first time! The kids will be delighted with all the recipes and it's a book they will use over and over.
Recipe:
Andnow for a great recipe from the book, that would be PERFECT for Memorial Day Grilling!
And to get your chocolate fix- be sure to check out Mike's 5-minute microwave chocolate chip cookie.recipe too!
