A Year With Six Sisters' STUFF Book Review

A struggle in my home as been our food.  My hubby is a picky eater.  Well, not really a picky eater because he will eat all kinds of food, but he wants his food to be healthy, taste good, look good, and help him meet his goals as a World Ranked Powerlifter.  After years of competing as a figure competitor I am cool with just tuna fish, oatmeal, and green beans for meals, but not him.  Since I could care less about my food, as long as it is balanced, when I cook... I cook for him.   Like most women I have a plethora of cook books on my bookshelf, stashed in drawers and in boxes around my house, and each time I get a new one I sit down with my hubby to see what he would like to eat.    After reviewing, "A Year With Six Sisters' Stuff: 52 Menu Plans, Recipes, and Ideas to Bring Families Together", by hubby replied, "Wow, this is one of the best cookbooks that you have brought me!"   That is a HUGE complement coming from him.  Almost every recipe in the cookbook he wanted me to make.  

Here is my review of a few of the recipes in the book:

Strawberry Lemonade Slush:  This is a slush drink that is super refreshing.  I can't wait for summer to make this a staple at bbq's.  
Restaurant-Style Onion Rings:  We love onion rings, but whenever I have tried to make them the batter falls off the onions and my deep fryer becomes an awful mess.  I was able to make great onion rings in my home deep fryer.  Finally!!!!  A onion ring recipe that actually works!!!!
Pina Colada Cake:  This cake was awesome.  I actually hate shredded coconut on food, so I prepared the cake and just left off the shredded coconut.  The cake was still GREAT. 
Korean Beef:  Usually you would prepare Korean Beef with white rice, but we were having a "no carb" day so I left out the rice and made the Korean Beef and one of my favorite Oriental Salads to go with it.  It was in a word, wonderful.  I mixed the Korean Beef in with my salad and my hubby preferred his on the side, but we both loved it.  

And on and on....

We are so excited to keep trying lots more of them!!!

Not only did this book have more than 150 recipes, it had the cutest ideas for new family traditions that we are excited to start as holidays approach.  The only problem now is that my business partner Kelli wants to borrow it.  The good thing is I know exactly what to get her for an Easter present. I don't think I want this book leaving my house.  :)
