Robin Miller, another in the stable of Food Network's talent, provides a well crafted cookbook here. The premise is pretty straightforward: put together about three homemade recipes for each week of the year. Between the three meals, maybe a couple meals out, and leftovers, one would be set each week--with some tasty home cooked meals as a key part of the overall portfolio of meals.

I have only cooked one recipe so far, Chicken Penne with Artichokes, Tomatoes, and Pesto Cream. I added asparagus and roasted red peppers.

These dishes are simple, fairly quick, and very convenient in that the leftovers from one meal are used to make a second or even third dinner later in the week. The flavors are bold and strong, not very nuanced at all, but very filling and they do taste good. The meals are geared toward the American "meat and potatoes" crowd so eating all that meat during the week can feel a bit heavy, so I've More...

Not bad. Not one that I want to go and buy for my cook-book collection. Pictures would help! I know I made one of the recipes, but for the world of me I can not remember what it was!

Easy to understand. Not too many ingredients that I didn't already have. Good for weeknights!
