Jamie's 15 minute Meals .. YUM!

I just wanted to stop by and recommend a new favorite cook book of mine.  It's Jamie's 15 Minute meals.  As I am quite busy most of the time I like to have some good basic healthy go to meals that I can prep in no time at all.  But lets face it after a while you fancy a change.  So I know I am a little late on the band wagon but I jumped aboard and purchased this book.  I have only tried a few of the recipes but they have been amazing.. so yummy, light and nutritious.  Though I must admit they took me about 20 - 25min rather then the 15min I had hoped for.  But in the front of the book Jamie does mention that till you get a grip on the recipes it may take you a little longer which is fair enough.  20min is still less time then it takes to call for, and pick up a take away and it tastes way better.   Don't even get me started on the benefits on the waist line!

So if you are looking for good home clean cooked meals this is the book for you I cant recommend it enough.
