Love her cook books. Easy to use and follow recipes. Step by step step directions.

As with all Ree's cookbooks there is a wonderful smattering of her personal life's experiences and family. That only makes the reading a little more interesting; however, you don't need the entire family history unfolded in her previous cookbooks. The main focus, of course, is food. This time with an emphasis on easy to prepare dishes suitable for the busy mom or dad. The text is categorized by whatever one's quick and easy interests may be -- burgers, pizza, meatless, chicken, steak -- 112 to choose from. Whether it's comfort food or something easy for having guests, this book will have it. Highly recommended!

This is a nice cookbook if you are a Ree Drummond fan - there are tons of photos of her family. I would rather stick to the recipes, myself. I do like her recipes as they are easy to make without spending a ton on ingredients you never have or heard of.

Wife loves her books. Awesome recipes

I try and get Ella QuickBooks again. This one didn’t disappoint great recipes.
