Great tasting and fast family meals

I have two small children and a picky husband. It's hard to find things that they will all eat. I was pleased with the selections in this book. I have made several of the meals and they have really enjoyed them. The meals are easy to prepare and use common ingredients.

Do you dread "What's for Dinner?"

I always hate to question "What's for Dinner?". I read the reviews and decided to give this book a shot (from the library) My husband was so happy to have dinner on the table every night at 6:00 pm (since we both get off at 5:00) All the recipes were easy and my husband raved about the food. I saw the book at a thift store the next week for $4 and had to have it. I only do this book 2 weeks out of the month since getting all the fresh vegetables and meat tends to be expensive. This book is great for anybody who doesn't want to or have time to plan out a weeks menu or doesn't have that much time to cook dinner!

De-Lish!!!

All of the recipes that I have tried from this book have be fabulous! Even the picky eaters in my family are eating things they never imagined eating & liking. I definitely recommend this book!

Good for the busy mom--reality cooking

I'm a homeschooling mom with 2 kids, picky eaters both. But not as picky as I am! I'm not an adventurous eater, by a long shot. I'd never bought cabbage before using this cookbook. After reading raves for the recipes on several forums, I decided to buy the book and just make the recipes, even if I though I wouldn't eat it. I've used the book for 2 years (there are enough recipes for me to pick and choose), and have only found 2 recipes that won't work for my family. (The potato crusted fish just burns in the pan for me, and the chicken recipe early in the spring section that uses frozen concentrated orange juice was just plain gross. Both of these could be user error, though.) That's pretty good considering how picky the 3 of us are. (My husband will eat anything I put in front of him, including that OJ chicken.) There are recipes that will stretch how you eat, but the cooking is pretty straightforward. I own the first edition, and there are a couple of typos but the corrections are on the website. I believe they've been corrected in later printings.

If you are going out of your mind trying to plan dinners, buy this book. I need another one, because mine is in tatters.
