Seriously.<\/p>\n<p>I already shared about Good Cheap Eats once on MomsToolbox, when I was encouraging you to pre-order and receive my wine-pairing ebooklet free. You may have missed that opportunity, but if you do get the book, you can see wine pairings for nearly every meal in the book via my <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/wine4.me-ranking-wines-for\/id839861753?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">free iPhone app, Wine4.Me<\/a>. Once you&#8217;ve told the app a few things you like in wine, click on\u00a0the Wine\u00a0&amp;\u00a0Food circle, click Food and then enter any of Jessica&#8217;s main dishes to get a ranked listing of wines that you&#8217;ll like with that meal.<\/p>\n<p>Wait. I&#8217;m getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you more about the cookbook.<\/p>\n<p>Good Cheap Eats tells you how to prepare more than 200 dishes for your family like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Peanut Butter Chicken and Pasta with Sesame Broccoli and Homemade Lemonade<\/li>\n<li>Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Rice \u00a0with\u00a0Buttery Dill Carrots and\u00a0Banana-Walnut Mini Muffins<\/li>\n<li>Ale-Braised Pork Roast with\u00a0Fransconi Potatoes and\u00a0Maple Fried Apples<\/li>\n<li>Grilled Cumin Chicken Legs with Saut\u00e9ed Corn with Thyme and Confetti Rice \u00a0 <em>&#8230;and tons more.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jessica uses real ingredients that you can find at any grocery store and breaks things down into easy steps, so even I can impress my family with delicious meals. (And if I can do it, you certainly can, too!)<\/p>\n<p>You might think\u00a0I&#8217;m just suggesting this cookbook because Jessica is my friend. Please trust me here: I&#8217;m not. Her recipes really are awesome.\u00a0And easy to make.
