My New Favorite Cookbook! tasteofhome Cooking School

Who loves a great cookbook? I know I do and that's just what I received a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to put it down! This is no ordinary cookbook, however, it is a cooking school cookbook and you can easily learn so much from it without even having to leave home or pay for expensive cooking lessons. Believe me, I've taken some classes and they are expensive! This amazing book has so much to tell you about. First of all it has step-by-step instructions and the advise of experts! When can you say that you've had that in any cookbook? This book has more than 400 recipes that go from simple to spectacular! There are pages of instruction to teach you how to measure correctly all the way to tips for baking success. I couldn't begin to tell you everything that is in this great book, but I can share a favorite recipe from the book with you.

The Taste of Home Magazine has been so popular for years and now they are giving us our very own home cooking school in a book.

How about trying one of my favorites....from page 51, Ranch Turkey Wraps.  This is in the chapter "Better Than Takeout - Burgers & More."  One of the reasons I chose this is because it is so hot outside and I didn't have to heat up my kitchen. 

On the side of the page it teaches you how to "Pit And Slice An Avacado"...which I easily did.

I got the simple ingredients together....

And in just a very few minutes, had a delicious Ranch Turkey Wrap to enjoy for lunch!

I know you will enjoy this recipe as well as one of the 400+ other recipes when you get this book.

Ranch Turkey Wraps

Yield:  4 servings

These hand-held sandwiches make a nice lunch or quick dinner on the go.  A great thing about wraps, is that, like sandwiches, you can customize each one to suit your taste.

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup prepared ranch salad dressing
4 flour tortillas (10 inches), warmed
3/4 pound sliced deli turkey
8 slices Monterey Jack cheese
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
1 medium tomato, sliced

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and salad dressing until smooth.  Spread over tortillas.  Layer with turkey, cheese, avocado and tomato.  Roll up tightly; cut in half.

Nutrition Facts:  1 wrap equals 661 calories, 37 g fat (14 g saturated fat), 96 mg cholesterol, 1,719 mg sodium, 41 g carbohydrate, 9 g fiber, 35 g protein.

If I were to add anything to this for my tastes, it would be some nice crispy bacon and fresh lettuce.  I love that you can customize each sandwich for individuals and their particular tastes.

I love the fact that the nutritional facts are with every recipe and that these recipes are from home cooks just like you and me.
