This is an awesome book!

What a great cookbook! If you have been meaning to designate a "date night" with your significant other, this book gives you tons of possible menus. The Broccoli and Cheese Pie recipe has ALL of our favorite things in it and that will be the first one we try. Love the tips and the menu suggestions. Great find.
