I swiped this book from my mother, and the recipes in this basically taught me how to cook. A lot of classic, simple recipes that can be made (at least some of them) in less than 45 minutes that are 10 times better than going out to eat.

My husband flipped through and found the recipe for Biscuit Melts. I later discovered the power of ground cumin outside of chili recipes.

Like so many other Southern Living cookbooks, I love it! Even my husband has gone to this book before.
