5.0 / 5.0

I just found this cookbook on Amazon, free this month with Prime.....I really liked it, it has some wonderful looking dishes and the author, Kent Rollins seems like a really cool person. He has been on Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Chopped Grillmasters and Chopped Redemption and also appeared on NBCs 'Food Fighters'

I love his recipes because they are simple, yet flavorful and delicious. His chapter titles are original ( for example 'Jingling the house' is breakfast food, )and he includes a Dictionary of Cowboy Lingo, The Cowboy Code and a list of Cowboy Cures to fix what's ailing you! This guy has heart, spunk, a great sense of humor and....he can freaking cook!!

Standout recipes I am definitely going to try....
Hodge Podge Soup
Green Pepper Frito Pie
Meat Pies
Hop Along Hominy Casserole
Brown Sugar Pork Loin
Banana Split Cobbler
Chocolate chip Kahlua Cake
......to name a few.

Throughout the cookbook are quotes, like
" Life Is Simple. People complicate it"
"A good friend will give you the shirt off of his back, but a true friend will put a $20 in the pocket. "

Simple. Sweet. Good eating. Dig into this guy and his cookbook....I cant wait to try his Sourdough Starter for bread, biscuits and pancakes!… (more)
