Ms Bunny,

I've mentioned this cookbook before on this thread but it's my absolute favorite; I use it more than all of my other cookbooks combined (and I have a LOT of cookbooks!). It's called "Cooking Light's Superfast Suppers" and every recipe in the book takes no more than 20 minutes to prepare and cook. This cookbook is over $20 if you were to buy it new, but you can pick up a used copy for about $10...here's the link on Amazon: AmazonAmazon
I like this cookbook not only because of the easy (yet gourmet-style recipes) but also because it gives tips on how and what to shop for in the grocery stores and how to do several variations of the same recipe depending on what ingredients you have on hand in your pantry.

Jashobeam....I'll have to try that Better Homes and Gardens cookbook you recommended...the recipes you shared on this thread seem like the kinds of meals that my DF (and I) will really like, especially for weekday meals. Since you mentioned the older, more classic cookbooks, my favorite "classic" cookbook is the "Betty Crocker's Cookbook" from the 1970's. I like the older edition better than the new editions that are on the shelves now.
