One of My Favorite Cookbooks: Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2

June 2, 2016 By Joi Sigers

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. This costs you absolutely no extra money (of course), it simply allows me to maintain the lifestyle my cats are accustomed to!

Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2 Cookbook

If you’ve read the food blog for any length of time you know I collect cookbooks as eagerly as a Reality TV Star collects compliments.  I’m so bad, I even have cookbook collections within my cookbook collections. The following are a few of these “extra special” collections..

  •  Rachael Ray
  • Michael Symon
  • Food Network-Related
  • Cooking Channel-Related
  • Cooking Light
  • Christmas-Themed
  • Thanksgiving-Themed
  • Gluten Free

Before I had to give up gluten/wheat, Cookie cookbooks, Bread cookbooks, Pie cookbooks, and Cake cookbooks were on the list. But I don’t want to think about that now. Some wounds never heal.

I take a great deal of pride in my Rachael Ray cookbook collection. I’m a huge fan of Rachael Ray’s and actually collect just about all things RR, not just her cookbooks.

The cookbook pictured above is one of my favorites: Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2. Like each of her cookbooks, this is one I turn to again and again. I’ve memorized which recipes are in which cookbooks, so retrieving them is quick and easy.

Some of my favorite recipes from this cookbook are:

  • Sirloin Burgers with Mushrooms, Swiss, and Balsamic Mayo
  • Black & White Shakes
  • Spinach Artichoke Pasta Salad
  • Red Bean Salad
  • Root Beer Floats
  • Philly Steak Sandwiches
  • Ice Cream Sundae Sandwiches (use gluten free cookies to make it gf)
  • Fried Mozzarella Bites (I use gluten free breadcrumbs)
  • Burrito Bar
  • Special Fried Rice
  • Sausage Calzones (use gluten free pizza crust to make it gf)
  • Warm White Beans with Thyme
  • Balsamic (or Honey) Glazed Vegetables
  • Green Bean Salad with Red Onion and Tomato
  • Crispy-Topped Baked Beans with Bacon
  • Mexican Chunk Vegetable Salad
  • Rio Grande Spice Rub Strip Steaks
  • Honey Mustard Barbecued Chicken
  • Butter Bean Salad
  • Corn on the Cob with Chili and Lime
  • Maple Mustard Pork Chops with Grilled Apples
  • Emmanuel’s Baked Artichoke Hearts
  • Fresh Oranges with Lime Sorbet
  • Meatball and Macaroni Soup
  • Southern Green Beans
  • Winter Vegetable Stew
  • Spanish Beef and Rice
  • Mexican Rice
  • MANY More!

I’m actually making the Mexican Rice for supper tonight. It’s outstanding.

With such an overwhelming passion for cookbooks, I spend a great deal of time on Amazon. I’ve recently discovered something that has been a real game-changer: Used Cookbooks. I have had great success with these – I always “mark” the results I want with “Like New” and each time they have been, indeed, like new.  If you look, you can even find NEW cookbooks at Used cookbook prices.

My Motto: Money saved on one cookbook means money I can spend on the next.

Find Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2 on Amazon, it’s easily one of my favorites in my collection.
