Recipe Notes:
- Chocolate Chip Granola Bars - Super crumbly until they're completely cool. I cooked them longer than the recipe called for because they still looked too gooey in the middle to pull out after 20 minutes. But my kids LOVED this recipe.
- In a Flash Chicken Pot Pie - The picture is misleading. You're not making mini chicken pot pies, but one large one. Also, the filling ended up more soup-like than expected. Super tasty!
- Zesty, Zesty Italian Dressing - Fast and fun way to make a homemade dressing. My 9-year-old loved getting to shake all the ingredients up. When we stored it in the fridge, it became too thick and we'd have to leave the dressing out awhile before use.
- Campfire Oatmeal Cookies - Such a fun and tasty recipe! Like s'mores on a camping trip in a cookie.
- Rockin' Red Beans and Sausage - Since the title didn't advertise it as a stew I wasn't expecting it to be soupy, but it tasted good.
- I received a free copy of this book from Tommy Nelson to provide an honest review.
- We didn't make all the recipes, but tried ones based on what appealed to my kids as they flipped through.
- I wish it included a few more instructions for how to tell if something was fully cooked or not (for kids).
- The recipes don't include a total time estimate, but breaks it into prep time and cook time.
