Dinner was saved!

With all of the stresses the holiday season brings, it was nice having some help with the dinners that require a higher level of planning. At first I thought this was silly; "Who needs help with this sort of thing... Everyone knows how to do a basic dinner..." Well the inner child inside of me said to get it and give it a try anyway, no matter how silly I thought it was (at the time). Why did I not get this helper before? Now I feel silly for thinking so stinky. This book put a smile on my face and brain as I know I have a helper for many years to come with several holiday and other celebration type of meals. My menus with the recipes I needed were suggested to me. A timeline was something I have always needed. I have these now too (thank you!!!!!!) My grocery list was all ready made. I could tell everyone what we were having as well as the nutritional values for anyone who asked. This feature was fantasic. It helped show some of my loved ones that I care for thier wellness. With the help from this book, it freed up some valuble time. It kept me from getting stressed out over this sort of thing. A matter of fact I survived this year without getting really stressed out to much. Thanks Leanne!!!! This year my family was nice to me and I was nice to them as well. How strange a book could change one's life so much. I am already planning for the next year for those special dates, because the stress level has dropped significantly.

Saving Holidays

This book is excellent for those of us who are trying to get through the holidays. Meals have always been a struggle for me during certain holidays, and this book has given me many ideas that are simple and planned out. All the menus and shopping lists are included - so all my work is next to nothing. The book offers a variety of recipes.






Haul It Out Every Holiday

I especially like the timelines in this very helpful planning book for holiday meals. The author has a friendly, informal style of writing which I enjoy.

Beautiful Food For Celebrations!

I bought this book last year and used the Thanksgiving recipes. This was the first Thanksgiving I ever hosted at my house, and thanks to this book, it was a HUGE success. Not only does the book provide the grocery list and recipes, it also provides detailed discussions about various cooking techniques, organizational tips, and timelines to help you get your act together and keep it that way clear through until your event is over.

The turkey we made using Leanne's recipe and treatment recommendations was OUTSTANDING, the best turkey I ever ate much less cooked.

I highly recommend this book for domestically challenged OR beginner cooks/hostesses who wish to create beautiful celebrations with great food.
