What Do I Make For Dinner….Again!

It’s 3 p.m. and the daily relentless question surfaces, “What do I make for dinner…..AGAIN!!!???” Then you quickly grab your phone and order carry out- you wish!!!! We have gathered some of our favorite cookbooks that may have the answer to this dilemma. Here we go!!!

The Barefoot Contessa is one of the best series of cookbooks! Ina Garten’s suggestions alongside the recipes she features are so helpful and the tips on entertaining have saved us time again and again! Here are some of our favorite recipes….Chinese Chicken Salad in the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook is a winner… try the Coconut Cupcakes for dessert..the best!! The Modern Comfort Cookbook features Baked Cod with Garlic and Ritz Crumbs….husband loved this!! The Barefoot Contessa Family Style Parmesan Chicken is divine!

The Half Baked Harvest Cookbook has selections that are unique and very flavorful. We follow the author, Tieghan Gerard, on her blog. The photos of the food are a work of art and cannot say enough about how wonderful the food tastes. My kids (Val’s) love the Cheesy Kale, Artichoke and Chorizo dip. The Five -Ingredient Honey Butter Beer bread is so easy to make and gets rave reviews!!

The Beautiful Boards Book makes a great hostess gift. There is a board description with picture for just about everything you can think of…for instance…The Breakfast Board, Build Your Own Taco Board.and a Mediterranean Board. The pictures are beautiful and also helpful when building your board.

Ree Drummond’s Cookbooks have a wonderful variety of menu selections. When you watch her on TV you feel like you are a part of her large extended family. She loves to cook and she is darn good at it.

We hope this helps with the- “What do I make tonight for dinner?” dilemma….enjoy your day.
