Customer Reviews

I use this book every week!

I use this cookbook a lot! While I haven't gone as far as to use her cooking plans, they do look useful for people who want to do a "cooking day". I personally am at the point where I double the recipes she gives each time I cook one, to put one half away in the freezer. Or I cook up a whole bowl of chopped chicken breast and make up a bunch of those particular dishes to freeze ahead. So far we've found some really good meals that my husband likes - Savory Meatloaf, Swiss Casserole, Italian Biscuit Cups, Easy Chicken Divan, and Chicken Tettrazini, to name a few . I especially like that her basic ground beef mixture includes carrots - so my kids get some veggies without even noticing! The recipes may not all be gourmet, but for good, home-cooked comfort food, this book gets you going. It has taken some stress out of the daily deciding what to make for dinner.

Great Idea, Wonderfully Done

This is a great concept for anyone who stands at the fridge at dinner time wondering what to make. I have been doing this for the past few months and it is wonderful!! All the recipies are fantastic and very easy. It is definitely worth the time!
