Now this is a cookbook for me!

I recently received the Potluck Survival Guide by Cherie Kimmons from Five Star Publications as a member of Mama Buzz.

In the “Pre-Game Introduction,”  Kimmons writes of my own feelings each time I need to take a dish to a potluck.  As I’ve written before, I lack quite a bit of talent and ability when it comes to cooking.  So, when I need to take food places, I never know what to take, what others may like, or how much to make.

Kimmons puts this book together for people just like me culminating “nearly twenty years as a team-mom, room mother, food committee member and senior lunch chair.”  And, even better than that I actually know what all the ingredients are in every recipe in this book!

I normally do not get excited about cookbooks, but after reading the first few pages, I actually got excited.   Everything in this book is written in very plain, up front language, written so any mom with 100 other things going on can easily follow the instructions.  Most recipes also have a notes section with suggestions on ways to ways to change the recipe or what to avoid adding to it that has flopped in the past.

As a future pastors wife and one with two small kids, I can’t even think of the number of potlucks I will be attending and required to bring a dish to in the next 15 years+.  This cookbook will definitely be well used!

You can purchase the Potluck Survival Guide directly from Five Star Publications for $18.96 (regular price is $24.95).
