I love Rachael Ray’s cook books. Here are the ones I have and use.

YUM-O Family Friendly

 
The best thing about this book is it gets you in the kitchen with your kids. All the recipes have suggestions about what “the itsy bitsy” can do. I think it was such a great thing to do to include your kids. They all want to help, sometimes it may just be hard to know how to let them help. The recipes in this book are mostly spins on kid food, we have really enjoyed everything we have eaten out of it, so of course I’d recommend it. She has breakfast, lunch box ideas, after school snacks, and dinners in this book. It also includes recipes that have been submitted by other people. A portion of this book goes to Rachael Ray’s YUM-O foundation to help feed people, so when you buy this, not only are you gaining fun recipes to make with your kids, but helping others too!

Big Orange Book

Rachael likes orange, but I like pink.  But I do really like this cook book, even if it is orange. More to come…

Open House

This Rachael Ray cookbook is for parties. The book is great because it has full menus, appetizers, desserts, and kids recipes for kids. The recipes are easy and great if you’re ever in a bind and don’t know what to cook for a party! This book can save your life in that situation. You’ll really enjoy these easy and simple house party menus!
