Easy Cheesy Chili Chicken from Eating Stella Style: Low-Carb Recipes for Healthy Living

My husband enjoyed this a lot. It was easy enough for a weeknight, but I will have to tweak the seasonings some, as it was just a bit too salty for my tastes. read more >

High Flavor, Low Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking

By J.M. Hirsch
Ballantine Books - 2010

In general, I like this book. The recipes are interesting and fun, and they are certainly flavorful. However, I find that many of the recipes are just "too much" -- too many ingredients, too much fat, more than I'd like to cook for a weeknight dinner, which I prefer to keep light. I'll keep this cookbook around for weekend blowout eating but probably won't turn to it for everyday cooking.
