Very Useful

This is a great cookbook. It follows the same format as Saving Dinner. There are dinners typically associated with holidays (all sorts of holidays) in this cookbook. The recipes do not call for any strange ingredients and they are easy and come out with great results. This is a great cookbook and I'm glad I ordered it.

Enjoy.

This is a kitchen staple

Definately a kitchen staple! This covers you for more than Christmas... here comes your Valentines Day menu from the capable hand of Ely.
This is one of her champs. Those who have enjoyed her Thanksgiving menu online will find the recipes in this book, along with more! This is a great book for anyone who wants to WOW their company or family and make any day a holiday!

Excellant Addition

This is an easy to following guide, makes shopping so much easier and takes the guess work out of what ingredients are needed.

Good

though I liked the few recipes I've tried, my kids aren't as crazy about them as I was. The idea of healthier menus was great, but in reality it doesn't always work. One book that I found that has holiday recipes, too, and a bunch of leftover recipes for all that turkey and ham afterwards is THE FRANTIC WOMAN'S GUIDE TO FEEDING FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Great way to plan for get-togethers!

I had already purchased Leanne's Saving Dinner book and loved it. I got this to make having people over for holidays, get-togethers, etc easier.
It has. I dont exactly like all the recipes in it but it gives you great infomation, tips and timelines for making meals and memories. I liked the valentines day chocolate fest and the ideas for a grown-up b-day party. And Thanksgiving Day is not to be missed but you can get this off her website (at least you could for Nov.2007).
