My Review
This book was so much fun!!! For one, I think the title is perfect. There were so many fun and sweet recipes in this book and all very simple!
Here are some of the ones that I have tried/will be trying (I don't have pictures of all of them - some got eaten before I could take them):
Peanut Butter Love Bars (super easy and a perfect blend of brownie, peanut butter, and chocolate)
Cookie-Bottom Cheesecakes
Abracadabra Cookie Bars (picture below)
Coconut Cups with Strawberry Filling (I love coconut and strawberries. What's not to love?)
Variety S'mores Bars (Divine, gooey and very fun! The kids loved these!!)
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bread
Moist Chocolate Cake
Caramel Mousse (Very sweet and light. Got to be careful you don't over-whip the cream.)
Lemon Bread with Blueberry Streusel (Oh so yummy!!! I really liked the addition of the oats in the streusel. Picture below.)
Rocky Road
Marshmallow in the Middle Cookies (Can you tell I love marshmallows???)
Cheesecake Sundaes
The recipes were easy. They were yummy. Some I've seen before, but sometimes with more difficult instructions. These were all just so easy. I already said that, didn't I? :) I liked how a lot of these were easily altered too. Like in the Lemon Bread with Blueberry Streusel I used yogurt and vinegar to replace the eggs since I have a son who is allergic. In the Abracadabra Cookie Bars I didn't use nuts since my son is allergic to those as well. For the Variety S'mores Bars I used candy bars that didn't have nuts or eggs, which this time around was Twix and Hershey's bars.
The only thing that I would have liked more of was more pictures. I like to see what every recipe would look like finished. I did like how the book was organized and that every section had a different color. The page numbers were super easy to see and, thus, find as well.
I can definitely see myself turning to One Dirty Bowl quite a bit in the future when I need to mix up a tasty treat for the family or when company is coming over. It would also make a great gift!

ReplyDeleteIt would have to be the Mousse out of all of these!! I do love chocolate but to be honest I much prefer ice cream, pudding or chilled dessert :)
