Love the recipes and the included shopping lists! This really helps my budget by buying only the items I need and planning the family meals ahead of time.

This book makes me confident in the kitchen, and always introducing new foods to my family!!

I've always know nutrition is important and variety is the spice of life, but before this book I would get into dinner ruts where I'd make the same six meals week in and week out. I have two toddlers that eat the food I make with this book and like it. I buy so much produce and actually use it! It is so easy to make great meals quick with this book! The meals will not be ready in ten minutes (well a couple are, if you do the night before tips) but really if you are using good ingredints to make a healthy meal should it take 10 minutes to prepare? This book makes me confident in the kitchen, and always introducing new foods to my family!

The only cookbook I've ever used more than once or twice!

I learned about this book from the Flylady website. I don't use it like it's intended, making the whole weeks recipes; I skip around. I've made several of the recipes and have had my son rate them as I tried them. I just KNEW that some of these dishes he would turn up his nose at (and he's not an extremely picky eater, just a normal kid), but he rated almost every recipe that I made from this book as an "I love it", and I rated most of them the same way. I made minimal changes to a few of them, and since we rated each one, I know which ones are "keepers". Also each one has normal ingredients, is easy and quick to prepare (most around 30 minutes), and have suggested sides to go with the dish.

Healthy, in-season meal planning made simple

This is a great cook book that helps you get on your way to sucsessfull, healthy, in-season meal planning. Your shopping list is made for you as are recipes for dinners for the entire year. You won't eat the same meal twice for a whole year! It's great for beginners and seasoned cooks can spruce up the recipes to their liking. This cook book is a wonderful weding/bridal shower/college student gift.

Excellent for getting into cooking, but recipes were a bit blah

I enjoyed this book and her low-carb book as well. It was great for getting back into cooking after having a baby and working full-time. I just followed it like a manual, whether we liked the food or not, so that we weren't picking up takeout yet again. The food, however, was very, very bland to us. We are used to a lot more flavor and spice, and not so many gravies on foods! But we stuck through it for a couple of months, and then started modifying recipes (a lot). I highly recommend it to begin to get into the habit of cooking and grocery shopping with a plan--but for the sake of your taste buds, branch out some after you get used to getting in the kitchen!
