My All Time Favorite

I LOVE this cookbook. I'm a very amateur, medium-confidence cook, and this book is right at my speed. Many of the dinners take an hour or so to put together, but that is the price of fresh food. If I were willing to eat Tuna Helper then I could indeed put together meals more quickly, but these are great recipes, great flavors. Recipes we've tried that we love are: Split Pea Soup, Basic Roast Chicken, Lentil Soup, Next Day Chicken Soup, Stevie Weevie's Waffles. My kids aren't wild about many of the recipes, but they are mainly bread-and-cheese kinds of kids anyway. I still prepare and present these good recipes and they are starting to try more.

tasty, healthy and easy recipies make my life easier

This is a well thought out book. The authors have made preparing tasty and healthy food a breeze. The recipies include prep and cooking times, and there are menus for both vegetarians and meat eaters. The lemon and rosemary pasta was a hit with both my hubby and 2 year old and took only 10 minutes to prepare! I highly recommend.
