Customer Reviews

old standby

I am online searching for a replacement book, because mine is so dog-eared. I've had this book for years, and I always go back to it. A lot of these recipes are definitely old standbys for my family. There is some prep time involved with chopping onions, peppers, etc. Veggies are cheap and healthy; therefore, they're in a lot of these recipes. Chop up a bunch at once and keep them in Baggies, ready for the next time.

Good recipes

I've made several recipes from this cookbook so far the chili and the crockpot ham and potatos are both absolutely delicious...my husband and kids loved them and didn't even know they were low fat!

Great Food, Low-fat & Easy to Understand

This book not only gives great nutritional advice, but provides good recipes the whole family can enjoy. I have 5 yr old & a 1 1/2 year old - they have cleaned their plates each night. There are a few recipes that seem a bit labor intensive after a long day - but they are very good! Most these recipes match what we like to eat - we have stretched on a few & really enjoyed them. This also matches my weight-loss needs since I am working with a program that require I track my exchanges & they are provided for each recipe!! No more guessing. Plus, I love the balanced meals for my family.

"Normal food" according to my family! Very practical ideas,

The book offered truly low cost ideas without "low taste". I particularly appreciated the recipe for cream soup substitute because it saves not only money but nutritional value as well.

My entire family loves this cookbook

I have used this book steadily for 2 years and I love it. My family will eat the no nonsense meals. With a little flexibility you can take the menus and customize them to use all the ingredients, or learn to purchase the proper amounts necessary for preparation. My eldest daughter recently moved away and requested one of these books for her own. Whenever we have adhered to these menus, our quality of food intake has improved and our weight tends to drop with little or no effort. My entire family loves this book.
