Great my myself, hubby, and 2 yr old

I originally picked up this cookbook a couple years ago but I was still used to the way my family cooked (lots of fat and gravy) and wasn't really into the recipes. Since that time, I've revamped my cooking style to be healthier. Last week, I noticed it gathering dust and grabbed it off my cookbook shelf. So far, I've cooked 3 different dessert recipes, 4 main dishes, and 3 sides contained within this cookbook. Except for the desserts needing a little tweaking (I think they are too sweet) I've enjoyed everything I've made so far. I especially love the Parmesan green beans and peach crisp... oh, and the hashbrown cheesy casserole. I've stocked my kitchen with 14 oz ramekins and mini loaf pans to accommodate the servings. I've had a few issues finding no-fat dairy products, but when that happens, I just substitute lowfat instead. A lot of these aren't especially quick meals, so if you are looking for a 30 minute dinner, this isn't it. But if you looking for a tasty meal that is just right for 2 (or two and a half), I would suggest this.
