A Year With Six Sisters' Stuff: 52 Menu Plans, Recipes, and Ideas to Bring Families Together

This is the newest cookbook from the sisters behind the popular blog, Six Sisters' Stuff.  

I didn't waste any time diving into this cookbook.

I loved their first book, but I think I like this 2nd book better :)  The recipes are all simple, family friendly, dishes with familiar ingredients and there is a mouthwatering photos of every recipe.

The layout is different than their first book.  Rather than being divided into specific categories, it is divided by meal plans.  There are 52 meal plans in the book, each of which contains a main dish, a side dish and a dessert.  Some of the recipes are from scratch while others use mixes and short-cuts.  I think there is a really good variety of dishes.

  First, I made these Oven-Baked Tacos.  I always love new taco recipes.  This one is super simple and perfect for a week night.  Baking the tacos softens the shells a bit which makes them a little easier to eat, plus it melts the cheese which holds the filling together better.  

Then, I tried the Chicken Parmesan Crescents, which is now a family favorite and I made the Banana Crumb Muffins which are delish as well.  

Overall, if you want a cookbook full of dishes that your whole family will love, then this is the book for you.  A lot of the recipes remind me of food I grew up eating.  I love it.

You can purchase it at Amazon, Walmart, Deseret Book, Barnes & Noble and other retailers.

1 Lb. lean ground beef

1 medium onion, diced
