Best Once-A-Month-Cooking Cookbook

If you don't need a cookbook for your average frozen cassaroles and other "typical" frozen foods (that you can find with an internet recipe search for free!) - and you are only going to buy ONE freezer cooking cookbook, get this ONE! I have been a part of two freezer cooking clubs in two different cities I have lived in and passed it around the clubs. Many people have used my book (with different family tastes than mine) and so far I've had insanely happy responses! When people ask me, "if I only get one cookbook for freezer cooking, which one should I get?" I always tell them to get this one. There is a good variety and so far, everything has frozen very very well. If you do get the cookbook, make sure you try the Crabcakes with Lime Aioli, Orzo Salad and Fish Tacos. . . YUM!!! By the way, there are "normal" recipes too. . . with over 180 recipes, you can't really go too wrong! Bottom line: I have saved money by using this book, and it's paid for itself over and over, besides, my family is thrilled with the NEW and fresh yummy recipes that are coming to our dinner table. If your make-ahead/freezer recipe selection needs a little kick in the pants, try this book.

They really are super suppers! Not Unhealthy!

I have made about 10 recipes so far from this cookbook and they have all been just super! The first was the Santa Fe Chicken. It was chicken breasts with fresh bell peppers, red onion, fresh lemon juice (though you could substitute bottled), then a can of green chile peppers. It was very simple to make, would have frozen easily for future cooking but we ate it that night. We then tried the Crunchy baked asian tilapia fillets. It called for all fresh ingredients and panko bread crumbs. It took me some looking at the grocery to find that particular type they were in the asian food aisle (not the regular bread crumb aisle). Our next dinner was the Asian beef and veggie wrap. It called for fresh bean sprouts, green onions, plum sauce, grated fresh ginger and egg roll wrappers (which I found in the produce section at the grocery). So for the person who said it was all canned soup and stove top stuffing I'm not sure what recipe they were referring too. There might be one in this cookbook, there are almost 200 recipes but I didn't find it and certainly would never describe this cookbook as unhealthy...that's a complete misrepresentation. So I'm not sure what that other lady was referring to. It's a great cookbook, with fresh ingredients. Well worth the money. I would also suggest getting her new cookbook, Super Suppers 2. It's just as good.

Wonderful cookbook!

I have already made at least five of the recipes...all are really good! Clear directions and really helps me with meal planning!

My first review!

I have many cookbooks but this, so far, is my favorite. I have aspirations of being a good cook but so little time. I have only made two recipes so far and I am thrilled (and so is my family). Both were excellent and easy - Beef & Broccoli and Sweet & Sour Pork. I also like that there are suggested sides and desserts - whew, I don't even need to think. I shared both with my neighbors and she also loved them. Hence, I'm back online ordering her a book. Tonight I"m trying Kielbasa & Sauerkraut - couldn't be easier.

Awesome cookbook!

I collect cook books and this one is the one I reach for time and again. We have 7 children and I do bulk cooking. This book helps me in meal preparation that I can freeze. Not full of casseroles, this book has lots of unique dishes that don't call for ridiculous ingredients. And, it is chock full of beautiful color pictures with a quality feel to the page weight. You'll love it.
