This little cookbook, has meatball recipes for appetizers and sides, soups, stews and chili, sandwiches and wraps dressy meatballs, pasta dinners, rice dinners and family favorites. There are no photographs, however the cookbook is well organized and the recipes all have catchy names such as chines beef noodle soup, ravioli meatball stir-fry and white beacn salsa chili.
The recipes are all quite simple using common every day ingredients. Although I must say I was rather horrified to see a recipe calling for a jar of Cheez Whiz. Do people still eat Cheez Whiz?
The funny part about this book is that there is no recipe for meatballs. The authors of the book use frozen pre-made meat balls. That there is not a recipe for meatballs, I found to be rather disappointing. I like to make my food from scratch and would never consider buying pre-made meatballs. For some that is what make this book so attractive, the recipes are simple and easy and do not require any culinary training. For anyone who has a bag of frozen meatballs in the fridge and is looking for a quick easy way to make something different for dinner, this is your book. This book is perfect for a college student or family looking for simple ways to make dinner different.
Actually, the title should be one hundred and one things to do with frozen meatballs. That said, I foresee a lot of frozen meatballs in my future. I really liked this book.
This book is good! I have never seen this side of the dark side.. and liked it soo much!
Ever had to stretch a food budget till your pennies hurt.. Think what you can do with the worlds biggest batch of homemade meatballs.. Yes hamburger prices are soaring.. But if you can make 4-5 meatballs an entire meal for one person in your family.. THINK how you can save money all week, month long if you had a bazillion meatballs..
I know in the book she suggests frozen.. but girls I can make some killer meatballs with some dried breadcrumbs and some seasonings and a few eggs.. Why pay 18 dollars a bag for it..
Consider this a challenge on how to save money and do it without feeling bored!
