Meals Made Too Easy

June 3rd, 2006 Tracy - Sequoya

If you like the look of Real Simple magazine you’ll love the look of Meals Made Easy by its editors. Simply stated it’s beautiful! There’s  big, bold, colored photographs of every recipe included, easy to read directions, tips for each recipe and good indexes.  There are seven chapters all designed to make cooking meals less stressful.  That said I can’t honestly say I’m all that crazy about it  except for its visual appeal. Granted the recipes are easy, and there are several that can be made with ingredients you might already have on hand. But many rely solely on store bought ingredients with no other added flavors. Take for instance the French Fry Pie. The ingredients are a package of frozen fries, a pound of ground beef and a jar of pasta sauce.  Easy? yes.  Tasty? maybe.  Now I will waffle a little and admit that I do want to try the  ham and cheese sandwiches grilled on, you guessed it, frozen waffles!
