150 Best Recipes for Cooking in Foil By Marilyn Haugen

Grilling season is here and I want to share with you a book that will make grilling so much easier 150 Best Recipes for cooking in Foil by Marilyn Haugen. Whether you’re a camper, a backyard griller, a fan of tailgate parties or like to rely on your tried and true oven, these creative recipes are so fast and easy they’re bound to become part of your cooking repertoire. The camping recipes range from breakfasts to entrées to desserts and are designed for a 4 and up to  7-days camping trip, with perishable food items to be used up within the first few days and subsequent meals to rely on canned or dry-packed ingredients. Many of the staple ingredients can be used in multiple recipes, for minimal packing and easy storage. 

The delicious grilling and oven recipes offer incredible convenience with minimal cleanup a winning combination for busy home chefs. Many of the dishes can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen for a speedy lunch, cocktail party, tailgate party, spontaneous weekend barbecue or no-fuss weeknight meal. Most of the recipes are designed to serve four people, but they can easily be scaled down to serve one or two people, or scaled up to serve a crowd!

My Opinion: I like the idea of putting in foil then putting on the grill or campfire as it is portable, easy clean up and food cooked inside to come out perfectly fine. There are so many recipes inside to make that look amazing. I think this book will be my go to this summer when cooking outdoors on the grill and around the campfire.

150 Best Meals in a Jar By Tanya Linton

150 Best Meals in a Jar By Tanya Linton is going to make your morning so much easier as you make these ahead at night for breakfast and lunch to just grab and go off to work. You no longer have to get up two hours early in the morning anymore. Let me tell you more about the book. You’ll never again eat another soggy lunch salad. Canning jars are the perfect vessels for healthy and delicious salads. You simply put the dressing on the bottom; add layers of heavier or harder foods and then top with lighter ingredients, such as fresh leafy greens. Everything stays crisp and separate until you’re ready to dump the salad into a bowl, toss and enjoy.

These tempting and innovative recipes store well in the fridge, so you can make several days’ worth of lunches and/or dinners ahead of time. Then all you have to do is “grab and go” on those harried weekday mornings. Tanya has even created recipes for breakfasts, snacks, soups and desserts, as well as a chapter devoted to the ever-popular rice bowls. You’re sure to enjoy the variety of options, from leafy green salads like Waldorf Salad, Asian Slaw with Honey Ginger Dressing or Layered Caprese Salad to heartier meals made with legumes, noodles or grains, such as Roasted Broccoli and Chickpea Salad, Roasted Pasta Puttanesca or Quinoa with Beets and Pomegranates. And when you’re looking for a dessert idea for an office celebration or picnic, Pretty Pavlovas, Layered Cheater Chocolate Cheesecake and Banana Bread Parfait are sure to be a hit. Meals in a jar are the ultimate "grab and go" meal!

My Opinion: I like this idea as I can grab and go with a healthy meal from my fridge not a fast food restaurant and with the hot summer months these are going to be perfect for all the fresh veggies, salad and more to eat healthier and hopefully in the process lose weight.
