Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The full
title of this new Rachael Ray book is Express Lane Meals: What To Keep on Hand, What
To Buy Fresh for the Easiest-Ever 30-Minute Meals. Quite a mouthful, wouldn't you say? But in almost the time
that it takes to say the name of the book, you can have a meal on the table because Rachael Ray is that fast.
This book has a great premise. At the beginning of the book, Rachael gives her readers a list of pantry ingredients that they should always keep in their home, including various spices, flour, milk, fresh fruits and vegetable, pasta and assorted canned goods. Once you've taken the list to the store and stocked up, you will have all you need (except the actual cooking equipment, which you might need to make another trip for) to fix every recipe in the book. All the recipes call for ten items or less - hence the name of the book - and there is a backup shopping list with each one, so you can be doubly sure that you have everything you need before you start. Sticking with her easy-to-read style, the recipes are not intimidating and should be a good start for a beginning cook or a good starting point for a more experienced cook who is short on time.

While Rachel certainly isn't my favorite celebrity chef (I worship Alton), she's such a goofball that I can't help but love her. The corny titles for the recipes always make me chuckle. I most definately give this one a thumbs up when you're looking to put something on the table fast. This is about as low as I'll go though...I can't handle Sandra Lee's style of "Quick & Easy".

Here, I dare you to make this atrocity, eat it, and live to tell about it:
