Fabulous Cookbook!

I love this book! I have gotten rid of a lot of cookbooks that were sitting around never being used. Not this one! This has fast, healthy recipes and a nice variety. Thanks, Leanne for saving dinner!!!

Amazing~ Simply amazing

The first book I have really and truly bought AND implemented into our family. I have picky eaters and a tight budget- I really doubted this book would fit our lifestyle... but I wanted to try. It has been a month of heaven so far. We are eating healthier, the meals don't take long to make, my grocery lists are done for me, it fits my budget, and I am making meals with names I would have never imagined our family eating. I love not spending the 20 minutes just trying to decide what we are going to eat for dinner! I can even change my mind and fix something that was planned for later- it doesn't matter- I KNOW that I have EVERYTHING I need for at least one week of meals. I just can't say enough about this book. Thanks!

Dinner has been saved!

This book has been a wonderful tool! For what we have saved on eating out in a week, we've paid for this book exponentially...! I have a fairly picky family with two young kids who don't care much for vegetables, but Leanne's recipes have been tasty and satisfying even to their picky palates! I would recommend this book to anyone struggling to get good-tasting, home-cooked, healthful meals on the table. Most of the recipes can be done in 30-45 mins and many things can be done ahead (if that's easier for you). And once a week there is a crock pot recipe to make it even easier. Thanks Leanne, for saving dinner at my house!

Wish I'd Bought It Sooner!

Having a shopping list for the week has saved me so much money in wasted food. I used to buy stuff thinking i would cook it, but then without a plan, without a recipe in mind, we often just ate out and then had to throw the uneaten food out once it spoiled. Such a waste! Now, everything I buy has a PURPOSE! Less wasted food...less wasted money.

And that's not even the best part! The recipes are actually GOOD! My husband is one of those picky, meat and potatoes guys, so for the first week I let him pick out which week in the book he thought sounded best. I think he got three quarters of the way through before he found one, and even then he was skeptical! But everything I've made he's gobbled up, and that has included pasta, chicken, turkey, soup, and even fish! So now that the water has been tested, I feel confident making any weeks' meals in this book; it's just...good...food.

This book is as much about lifestyle as it is about cooking. It gives you direction, and it takes the "i don't know what to do with this" or "I'm missing this one ingredient" out of the equation. Everything you purchase gets used, and the recipes are simple and good. I am buying this book for my mom who is a busy real estate agent, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to cook more and eat out less.

Wish I'd bought this book sooner

Because of this book, I only make one weekly trip to the store, and I always know what's for dinner. I don't have to stare at the fridge and pantry and wonder what I can fix. I know that I have all the ingredients that I'll need to make 6 yummy dinners. I'm eating a lot more veggies, trying new things, and spending less money. I got this book for my sister for Christmas and after I flipped through it, I decided that I needed to get one for myself. I'm so glad that I did.
