Reflections Under the Sun

I recently made the Triple Cheese Bake from the always wonderful "Reflections Under the Sun". It was very easy to make and received rave reviews. This cookbook is worth it if only for this one recipe!!

Reflections Under the Sun has to be one of my favorite cookbooks for everyday cooking to family entertaining. It is contains healthy recipes for everything from soup to nuts. Some of my favorites are the Calico Chicken Chili (wonderful on a cold winter's day) or the Pear and Blue Salad (so simple to make). I also love the Cowboy Carmel Corn and so do my kids. It is the perfect snack anytime! Reflections Under the Sun, makes a wonderful addition to any cookbook collection and I think is the perfect gift for family and friends!

Reflections has some wonderfully Southwestern recipes like Southwest Black Bean and Wild Rice Salad and Green Chile Cornbread. There are even wine recommendations with almost all the recipes--for people like me who don't know what to serve with dinner. And there are all kinds of menu suggestions from Fiesta to Summer dinners. The desserts are incredible. The Grand Chocolate Mint brownies are beautiful to look at and truly decadent. And my kids love the Wrangler Ranger Cookies. There are so many great recipes in the book, it's hard to decide what to make first. The San Francisco Chicken is so easy to make, and delicious too. I often make it when we have last minute dinner guests. This is a great value cookbook for all the wonderful recipes. I highly recommend it.

This cookbook is one of the best I have seen for a long time (yes, the cover is very creative and fun!). It truly reflects the talent and creativity of the women belonging to the Junior League of Phoenix who spent countless volunteer hours creating this current gem of a cookbook. The recipies are very easy to follow and turn out fabulous. I especially enjoyed the menu planners located in the front section of the book. I would highly recommend this exceptional cookbook to everyone. I have also purchased several copies to give as gifts and have received rave reviews from the recipients of these gifts! Two thumbs up on this one ladies!!
