Rachael Ray: Just In Time by Rachael Ray

Rachel Ray magazines were largely how I learned to cook many years ago so when I saw this cookbook at the library book sale I snapped it up. Unlike other reviewers, I found this cookbook very approachable. I have a long list of meals I plan to make. Yes, I will need to pick up some things at the grocery store but thisbook never claims to be one where you cook completely from your pantry.

Rachael Ray : 30-minute meals 2 by Rachael Ray

I love her sloppy joes, but there wasn't a single thing I wanted to cook in here.
All of the recipes contained ingredients that needed a special "isle" to buy or just way to expensive to purchase for one recipe.
Oh, and yes most of these will only take 30 minutes if everything is pre-chopped and measured.
