Grill Every Day or Get Em Girls Guide to the Power of Cuisine

Grill Every Day: 125 Fast-Track Recipes for Weeknights at the Grill

Author: Diane Morgan

Whoever said grills are reserved for weekend barbecues has never met Diane Morgan. In her newest grilling cookbook, she presents a compelling argument that grills should be used every night, complete with 125 recipes and the promise of less dishwashing. For novice grillers, she's incorporated chapters on types of grills, cleaning and safety tips, and lists of helpful tools. Mouthwatering recipes include meat and veggie entrees, side dishes, and even flame-broiled desserts like Bananas Slicked with Rum and Molasses. If that's not enough, she's even added The Grill Planner, a chapter devoted to ensuring that Tuesday's leftover ingredients from Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers with Garlic and Cilantro Drizzle will become Wednesday's Pineapple, Shrimp, and Anaheim Chile Salad.

Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine: Perfect Recipes for Spicing up Your Love Life

Author: Shakara Bridgers

In Life, Get ' Em Girls Always Go After What They Want...

You know a Get 'Em Girl when you see one. She's got it together: great job, nice friends, and plenty of style. But when it comes to love, not all Get 'Em Girls have it figured out.

While some may think it's a cliché, maybe the way to a lover's heart is still through his stomach. But who has time to be chained to a stove? Just like having an extra job skill can help you get hired, someone willing to invest a little time and energy into a relationship definitely stands out in a crowded dating field.

The Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine features over 120 easy and delicious recipes that reflect the authors' southern-girl-in-the-big-city upbringings and will complement every stage of a growing relationship:

  • "Grown 'n' Sexy" desserts meant for sharing
  • The first "Morning After" Breakfast
  • The "Bring Him Back" Chicken Soup when he's sick
  • "Meet the Parents" Carrot Cake and much more!

Whether planning an intimate dinner for two or a down-home feast reminiscent of Mama's Sunday dinner, The Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine is filled with helpful tips, from stocking the pantry, to selecting wine, and even dating advice!

Cooking for a lover can be more meaningful (and cheaper) than dining out. But this is about more than just the food: it's about women investing in themselves and in their relationships. For all the women who aren't afraid to go after what they want, The Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine is a must-have in their kitchens!

Combining dating advice with cooking lessons, Bridgers and her coauthors, creators of Get 'Em Girl, Inc., begin with an introduction to cooking, including basic utensils and how to set a table. The main part collects 120 easy recipes that every novice would feel prepared to make. Numerous menus are themed around the stages of dating, including "The Morning After Breakfast," which includes Cinnamon French Toast, Home-Fried Potatoes, and Sage Sausage. The guide posts little tips on how you can make the recipe your own, along with "Aphrodisiac Alerts," playing up on the dating theme. Though the recipes and ingredients lists are clear, a novice would appreciate photographs of the items, which this book lacks. Readers who are attracted to simple recipes to steam up their love life might want to check out Rebecca Field Jager's How To Make Love and Dinner at the Same Time: 200 Slow Cooker Recipes To Heat Up the Bedroom Instead of the Kitchen.
