I have had the cookbook for about a year now. My family (two college aged students, hubby and I) absolutely LOVE so many of the recipes! It has become a weekly "go to" for me. The citrus, lemon cupcakes were a hit last Easter and are on the menu again this year (along with a decadent chocolate mousse....not FB, but maybe I could use dark chocolate).

Let us know what you like. For starters our favs are:

Lemon Cupcakes with Citrus Icing (dessert first :-0 )
Spinach Steak Roulade (I will marinate the meat a bit first next time)
Chipotle Pork and Onion Casserole
Pineapple and Pork Tacos with Avocado Crema (kids really liked this)
Korean Beef in Lettuce Leaves (another kid favorite)
Chicken with Romesco Sauce (used shrimp with this also)

***Note- I often double the recipes as one serving is not enough for my son or my husband. Then I usually have left overs for lunch or pot luck dinner later in the week!

Happy cooking!
