I need another shelf to fit all these awesome cookbooks I’ve been getting. This one is no exception, you guys. It is right up my alley…and I’m guessing yours, too!

The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook, written by my ever-so-talented friend Mary, is perfect for those busy weeknights. Which is every night, right?

What Is This Cookbook About?

It’s filled with delicious from-scratch recipes that don’t take a lot of time to make. Recipes you can feel good about serving to your family, and that don’t leave you exhausted after cooking. One of my favorite parts is how the chapters are organized: 15-25 Minute Meals, 30-45 Minute Meals, and 5-10 Minute Prep Meals (where the meals cook on their own.) So, you can really zero in on which chapter makes the most sense for you on any given day, depending on your time constraints. There is also a chapter devoted to Side Dishes, Condiments and Spices, and Stress-Free Desserts.

What kinds of recipes are included? Chicken, pork, beef, seafood, vegetarian, pasta, and desserts. Something for everyone!
Do I need special equipment? Nope! Just your basic skillet, saucepan, and casserole dishes.
Are the ingredients easy to find? Yes! All of the ingredients used in the recipes can be found at your common grocery store.
What is the level of difficulty? I say overall pretty easy! If you’re comfortable in the kitchen and cook regularly, these recipes are a breeze. Very similar to the type of recipes you’re used to me making here on Belly Full.

Now let’s talk about this meatloaf!

I love meatloaf, and really can’t understand how anyone doesn’t. I mean, really it’s just a gigantic burger that’s baked, instead of grilled. And like burgers, there are endless filling possibilities, and different glazes. This is my new favorite, although I still can’t ignore my Quick and Easy Meatloaf!

I was a little apprehensive about making this meatloaf recipe for the kids, because of the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, which is extremely spicy. But I just kept coming back to it in the book. I’m so glad I chose it first. The spicy was balanced out perfectly by the honey and vinegar. Left our lips tingling, but not on fire. We all swooned over it!
