The Stocked Kitchen…One Grocery List, Endless Recipes

I have a very wasteful kitchen.  Yes, it’s clean and organized, but I have quite a collection of spices, sauces, and other random products that have probably been used in a recipe only once and then sit until I realize they’ve expired.  I hate complicated meals and prefer fast and easy.  However, we all know that often times “fast and easy” means unhealthy.  It’s a battle I wage on a daily basis.

To the rescue comes The Stocked Kitchen, a great new cookbook written by Sarah Kallio and Stacey Krastins.  I know, you’re probably thinking, “Great!  Just another thing to clutter up my kitchen”.  Not so, I say!  This cookbook is so much more than a cookbook.  Allow the authors to tell you a little more:

I suffer from all of the symptoms the authors talk about when it comes to cooking:  poor meal planning, having one ingredient on hand but not another, and just finding a great recipe that doesn’t require tons of prep and cooking time.  When offered the chance to review a copy, I immediately said yes, because I want to learn to love cooking and stop hating it for all the reasons mentioned above.

The book is full of delicious recipes that my family would actually eat and comes with a grocery list (even tear-out lists!) of ingredients to always keep in stock in your home so that you are always prepared.  All of the work is done for you.  All you have to do is decide which amazing recipe you want to cook.  Less waste, less time agonizing over meal planning, and less trips to the grocery store which saves you money.

Like me, you may have several cookbooks, but this one is one that will actually be used and not collect dust on the bookshelf. Think of the money and time you will save by always being prepared!
