Created by Shellby - Updated on September 01st 2021

Baking is my primary activity in the kitchen, but I do occasionally cook a box of mac n' cheese.

I'm fairly certain that almost every family in the USA has this cookbook some where in their home. A classic, and their banana bread is simply one of the best.

My Thoughts

The chewy chocolate chip cookies have become my go-to recipe for cookies. Too many recipes to try, so little time. Their mustard and grape chicken sauce is a personal favorite of mine.

Scherer, Josh, author.

You'll find more than seventy creations broken into the ten "brossential" food groups like: Beer, Fried Things, Tacos, and Struggle Snacks (because money is hard). Josh's recipes range from indulgent...

My Thoughts

Energy drink brined boneless chicken wings are good, and I will be making them again. Mythical Chef Josh is the ADHD cooking tornado representation I've always needed.
