FANTASTIC!

I absolutely love this cookbook! The recipes are fantastic and simple to prepare, yet taste like you spent more time on them. I like the fact that even the preparation to them to the freezer isn't very involved. As a working mother of 2 under 2, this is a necessity. I'm recommending it to all my friends.
By the way, I am also doing Weight Watchers, and I have found a lot of recipes in here that are great on points! I saw a review that said a lot of recipes were fattening, but I think there are a lot in here that are not and for the others, you can easily substitute items to make it healthier!

Time saver for a busy medical student!

I'm a pre-clinical medical student, and often don't have time to mess around with dinner when I get home, especially during exam times. Using this book, I've been able to eat really well on the one night's worth of cooking I did at the beginning of the semester! I tried the spinach lasagna and beef stroganoff recipes this time around, and have been really happy with both of them. I find that I want to alter the recipes a little bit, but I think that has more to do with my needs and tastes than any problem with the recipes themselves.

The other nice thing is that this is one of the few cookbooks I have been able to adapt as far as portion size without any trouble at all. I am single and end up cooking for myself. With this cookbook, that's no problem. I froze the lasagnas into smaller pans (and then took them out, thank you for that technique!!) for a dinner and lunch leftovers helping, and portioned out the stroganoff into single-serving sizes as well. No wasted food and no headaches. Fantastic!

I also made this whole batch of food (which included a fair amount besides these two recipes) from one shopping excursion of about $100. I haven't had to go grocery shopping to any substantial degree in a month, other than for salad greens, cat food, noodles, or that last minute ice cream craving. This is VERY nice for both my financial budget and my time budget!

All in all, I credit this book for saving me some serious time, money, and stress. I'm going to end up taking what I learn in making these recipes up to freeze and applying them to my other favorite recipes, too, which just makes it doubly valuable as far as I'm concerned.

Yumo!!!!!

I have done Dream Dinners numerous times & have also frozen my own meals from time to time. I've tried numerous other cookbooks but none compared to the recipes this one had to offer. They were similar to the Dream Dinners meals in my opinion. I attempted to put some in the freezer this weekend & am happy to say I spent about 3 hours & was able to sock away 10 meals. So far we are very happy with the results. I will definitely be grabbing this cookbook again.

Great for busy people

This book has enabled me to make dinners ahead of time- and freeze them, and then just pull them out when I am ready to use them. I sometimes put the instructions right on the frozen zip lock bag (with perm marker) or just refer to the book for heating instructions. This book does just what it says it will. Great tips on how to freeze, maximize freezer space etc.
It is a great feeling of relief to come home, pull something out of the freezer and not have to start from scratch. Saves a lot of money too, because you can buy all of the ingredients at once and make a bunch of the same thing in one session. (Instead of keeping fresh ingredients around that I used to end up throwing out) I usually do my prepon a day off from work.

loved it!

I love this freezer cookbook. It's not your typical freezer cookbook filled with casseroles & unappealing combinations. My friend flipped through it & was very impressed with the recipes too! I highly recommend this book & when you make the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins make a huge batch. Believe me you will eat them up!!:o)
