This book is awesome! Just what I needed to help me better …
This book is awesome! Just what I needed to help me better organize my menus and shopping. We are adopting a teenager and our meal routines have changed from the 2 of us eating anytime and anything handy to having to think ahead and plan meals. This book not only helps with the planning but the recipes are great. I truly dislike cookbooks that have fancy recipes that call for items I can’t pronounce let alone find in my local grocery store. All of these recipes not only sound good, but I have already made several and they taste great too. I am so proud to say that I now have a freezer full of shredded chicken and homemade chicken broth. Next we’ll work on the beef preparations from scratch. This is fun and now I almost cook like my Mom, almost.

Got me out of my food chore funk!
I’ve been struggling with my hated chore of planning meals, grocery shopping and cooking. The number of times I have to handle food items was really getting me down. (Mentally handling it as I made a list, put it in the cart, put it on the check-out, load it in the car, unload the car, unload the bags, put it away–eventually handle it to cook it…) I was tired of it all and my family was paying the consequences as we ate out more or ate minimally nutritious foods. Did I mention my son has severe food allergies, so meal prep is taken to a whole new level in our house.Then, as I surfed the net dreaming about taking our self-employed and homeschooled family on the road in an RV to explore our country I found this great book. My spirit is beginning to thaw and come alive as I envision putting these great tips into action. I look forward to giving it a go, great read!

This had great info and recipes. I like the idea of homemade mixes and will be using them. I suggest this book for people who have children with special dietary needs.

Great for Busy Parents–and Everyone!
This is a great book to pick-up if you are wanting to streamline the cooking process and serve delicious meals to your family. The author did a wonderful job dividing it into easily understandable categories–and I especially like how she breaks out the various meats and then shares several recipes that you can make for each type. I’m definitely going to try the mixes and sauces recipes that are included,too! I’ve already found several tips and recipes that have paid for the price of the book.

Answer to prayer
Love how this educational recipe book breaks things down into a do-able plan for the busy lifestyles and expectations we women have on us today. I have been looking online for a meal plan that meets my needs to no avail. This book was encouraging to my discouraging nights of meal fights. This book is excellent for those with busy schedules or just anyone who wants to spend more quality time with their families. Awesome…thank you for sharing and making this book affordable for those of us who could use real help in the kitchen.

Beginner Homemaker Dream!
I have never read a cookbook as informative as this one and I have been cooking for at least 40 years! I have always kept the red checkered Better Homes book, but this book is the modern replacement.This is a wealth of healthy cooking information on everything from sanitizing, washing, prepping, freezing, saving money, great basic recipes for fast meals, living leaner and cleaner.I would recommend this book to anyone, but feel it would make a fantastic gift for all new homemakers.
