CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

This book actually delivers what it promises. -
After 16 years of marriage, my husband and I were both sick of cooking dinner. We both like to cook well enough, but we had no originality left! After a night on Amazon looking at tons of cookbooks, I bought this one. It has been terrific. We save money since I know exactly what I am buying at the grocery store. At dinnertime I go straight to the refrigerator knowing what I am fixing for dinner without having to stare blankly at the food for 10 minutes first. My children, ages 10 and 5 have tried all sorts of new things to eat. My older child loves vegetables, but now my little one is less picky as well. Best of all, my husband and I don't squabble about who is making dinner. Both of us are willing since everything is already thought out. The recipes are VERY tasty, all meals serve at least 6 so there are always leftovers for someone's lunch, and they do not take a lot of steps to prepare. I also appreciate the realistic grocery shopping lists. No ingredients that are too exotic and hard to find and no stupid quantities. For example, some cookbooks with shopping lists will tell you that you need to buy a 1/4 cup mustard--this one says you need a jar. I also like the nutritional information given. I LOVE this cookbook and would recommended it to anyone!!!
Easy to use. -
This cook book is easy to use, and requires little to no research on your next meal. It even has the grocery list made up for you so you don't have to do it. It has easy to make and healthy meals, that is nice for the whole family. If you're reading this, you have to try it, it is awesome.
This Book Wasn't What I Thought it Would Be -
As a busy mom of three, I was looking for a resource that would help me figure out how to get dinner on the table Monday through Friday in a cost and time effective manner. This book caught my attention because of the rave reviews and because of the author's relationship with the Fly Lady, whose advice has helped me immensely with running my household.
I couldn't have been more wrong!
In a nutshell, this book is a cookbook, with recipes laid out in weekly order, along with shopping lists for each week. So you get six recipes per week, with all ingredients for those recipes listed under each recipe and then relisted in that week's grocery list.
For example, week one has recipes for Apple Chicken, Roast Beef Picante, Beany Burritos, Moroccan Fish Tangine, Italian Turkey Meatloaf and Crock Pea Soup.
Now, anyone with young children can take one look at that list and know that surely their families will STARVE in week one because there is no way on earth that a three year old (let alone her father) is going to eat more than two out of the six. And it doesn't get much better.
You might think, like I did, that you can just substitute some "tried and true" recipes for the recipes you know your family will turn their noses up at. This presents a PROBLEM however, because if you remove even one recipe from the week's roster, your grocery list is off. So you're going to have to go through and remove the recipe, line item by line item, from your included weekly shopping list. Take two or three recipes out, and you might as well just start from scratch and write your own list. Which actually leaves you with MORE work instead of less.
This book has very few helpful tips with regard to getting dinner on the table, though you might enjoy the twenty six pages of fan mail at the back of the book. That's right, nearly ten percent of the book is fan mail! There are five or so pages of introduction lamenting the sad state of dinner in American homes these days. And then there are the recipes themselves, which make up the bulk of the book.
If I wanted a cookbook, I would have bought one. I wanted help with SAVING DINNER, which this resource sadly does not do, at least not for my family.
