It's a common experience to get home from work and have to get dinner on the table pronto because someone has baseball practice, someone else has to go to work, someone has a meeting. Robin Miller, host of the Food Network's Quick Fix Meals, has a solution for us with her book

Robin Takes 5 by Robin Miller ISBN#978-1-4494-0845-9
The first chapter gives us soups, stews & chowders. Recipes are simple and with only 5 ingredients in each recipe. Chilled Roasted Red Pepper Soup sounds like a delicious way to start off this book. Robin has soups with all kinds of veggies from peas, potatoes, broccoli to caramelized onions! Southwestern soups to chicken and rice. Seafood soups and chowders to sausage and rice. They all were simple and sounded mouthwatering good.

I was not familiar with Robin Miller before I received her book. But, I love cooking and as we're trying to eat healthier at our house, this sounded terrific. Every recipe has just about 5 ingredients and is less than 500 calories. I've marked it up. Seriously, it's full of post-it tabs.
I do wish there were more photos, but it's easy to read and the recipes are easy to follow. Most recipes are fairly fast to make and not time intensive and the ingredients are ones you are likely More...

I have been a huge fan of Robin Miller's ever since her debut on THE FOOD NETWORK. I have her best-selling QUICK FIX MEALS Cookbook and have made several things from there. So, when I had the chance to review her newest cookbook, I was super excited. There were so many delicious recipes to choose from. I also wanted recipes that mainly had ingredients already in my home. I chose 2 recipes to try and both were delicious, easy, and were made with ingredients already in my home. I found a lot o

I like Robin Miller. I liked her when she was on Food Network and I liked many of her recipes and cooking ideas.
I like this cookbook for many reasons. I like that the recipes call for so few ingrediants, most that are already in your pantry. I like that the directions are easy to follow. I like that she has listed the nutrition information for each recipe. I like that most of the recipes are for 4 servings (I'm still learning how to cook for two people instead of an army of peop More...

500 recipes with 5 ingredients or less and 500 calories or less.... where do I sign up?!? You might think "how can you get a delicious meal when it has so few ingredients?" Well let me tell you... out of the recipes that I have made, I LOVED them! I have made the Pepper Jack Chicken w/ Chipotle Potato Chips (357 calories), Seared Steaks w/ Chipotle Butter (373 calories), Balsamic Glazed Burgers w/ Sauteed Onions & Peppers (428 calories) and my personal favorite Red Potato Salad w/Honey

I really like 'Robin Takes 5!': the recipes are easy to follow and the fact that each one contains only five or fewer ingredients is excellent. This book gives a great choice of recipes and there is something suitable for everyone. It is handy that each item gives the serving quantity, prep time and cooking time plus a list of nutrients per serving. I would have preferred there to have been illustrations.

Lots of great quick desserts. I love that the book includes nutrition on all the recipes! I wish all cookbooks did that.

3 of 5 stars. Just for the deceiving cover. A little picture on bookpages wouldn't hurt --'
I love the cover, but I just can't get my self to really read it. I just shuffling page after page trying to find recipe that caught my attention. Nothing I could found. Maybe some other day?
