Rorie's Review:

I love cookbooks. Every time I'm near the book section at a book store, I always have to go check out the cookbooks. The funny thing is, I don't actually enjoy cooking. But I really do enjoy eating, so there's that. Most of my cookbooks that get regularly used these days come from Six Sisters' Stuff. This particular book is right up my alley. Only six ingredients? Easy to make? Yes, please!

I used this book for my meal planning one week. I picked a main dish and a side for each meal and then I had one or two desserts picked out as well. But, this is real life, and things didn't go quite as planned. I never ended up trying the desserts (sadness!) and I think the only sides I ended up making were the rolls and the Twice-Baked Bacon-and-Chive Sweet Potatoes. For the main dishes, I ended up making Slow Cooker Swiss Chicken, Barbecue Chicken Tostadas, Ground Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas, 5-Ingredient Turkey Meatloaf, Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops and Slow Cooker Root-Beer-Glazed Ribs.

Everything was a hit, except for the enchiladas, but I think that was because I bought some cheapo enchilada sauce and it was bitter. The filling was tasty, but the sauce ruined the dish. My son even said that the meatloaf was the best meatloaf he's ever had in his life. (I did use half ground turkey, half sausage, because that's what I had.) And the rolls were to die for!

I love how easy these meals come together and how tasty they all are. I also appreciate the color pictures of what the dish looks like. I struggle with cookbooks that don't have any pictures. This cookbook will be used over and over again.

Andrea's Review:

I was introduced to Six Sisters' recipes several years ago, and my family's go-to special occasion meal includes their honey, lime chicken enchiladas and their tres leches cake (so, so yummy). This new cookbook sounds like it should have been perfect for me with the crazy, busy summer I've had. Sadly, I was so busy that even six ingredients was a bit much for the amount of cooking I did.

I did have time to make a few items. First, I made the taco crescent rolls. They were easy and three out of the four of us liked it. There was quite a bit of the taco meat leftover (you can only roll so much into the small crescent rolls). I also made some of their cake mix cookies. It is a very similar recipe to one my kids have been using for years, except this includes vanilla. I didn't have the M&Ms the recipe called for, so I used some Andes mint chips and they were so delicious!

We were invited to our friends' house for dinner, and my daughter made the No-Back Lemon Cookie Truffles and the One-Pan Triple-Berry Cobbler to share with them. Both were delicious and easy to make. We don't really like almond bark, so my daughter melted some white chocolate chips to coat the truffles in. Our grocery store didn't have a good bag of mixed berries, so we used some frozen blueberries and raspberries we already had. Very tasty!

Like their other cookbooks, this one is full color with a beautiful photo of each dish (so important). Although I'd prefer a spiral bound book, the front and back covers have flaps that do a decent job of holding open pages while you cook.

I'm looking forward to trying many more of these recipes.

Tarah's Review:

A classic cover, a clean look, and only six ingredients....yep, this was a cookbook for me and my family. One of my favorite things was that it had a "Kid Approved" cute little hand stamp on certain recipes.  I did have to laugh when I was looking at it with my kids, and one of them said, "Why isn't this stamped on all the desserts?" Because what kid doesn't like desserts?

My kids devoured the Barbecue Biscuit Cups. That one worked well because I had everything already and it came together really easy. In fact, a lot of the recipes call for ingredients that I normally have, so that's really nice for me because I normally think about dinner right before dinner time. It's super frustrating to go to make something in a cookbook only to realize I don't have everything I need. Yes, planning ahead would solve that problem, but let's face it...that doesn't generally happen with me and meals.

I think my kids favorite dessert was the Chocolate-Caramel Brownie Trifle. They've already requested it for a party we are having. It was simple to make (although, I will admit I had to buy those ingredients special). I was super sad that I couldn't eat it. I just started Keto, and if anything was going to tempt me to go off it, it was this recipe. It looked and smelled soooo good. And then with the kids asking again and again to eat more of it, let me tell you it was a challenge.

Anyway, this cookbook will get a lot more use when I'm finished with Keto. But my kids pull it out and make things from it. It's simple enough that they can make things unassisted and as a mom, I'm all over that!
