Rating:  Summary: Cooking is a "No Brainer!" Review: This takes the thinking out of dinner time and the recipies are great. My family loves the variety and it makes it fun for me to cook new things...not the same old stuff. We are not big fish eaters so I leave that off the shopping list. I love having a list to grab and go shop without planning for an hour first. Dinner is ready everynight. Great book!
Rating:  Summary: Dinner really can be saved! Review: I love this book. I actually enjoy cooking, but I don't always enjoy planning what's for dinner. It is so refreshing to have a grocery list already prepared. I know that when I get home from the store I have everything I need to make healthy meals for myself and my family all week long. The best part is that I never have those 'cupboard full of food and nothing to make for dinner' moments. The food tastes wonderful and my family has already picked up a few new favorites. None of the recipes would be difficult for a beginner, and the author is careful to note potential pitfalls (for example pointing out to cook, not boil, a cream soup and why). Separating the menus by season is another nice feature, as is the nutrional information with each recipe. There are no pictures, though, so if you need a picture of dinner to be inspired to cook, this is not the book for you. Otherwise I would recommend giving Saving Dinner a try.
Rating:  Summary: A great book! Even for people who "don't cook" Review: The recipes are enticing enough even for me, a person who considers boiling water and opening a box of macaroni cooking. I've cooked a different recipe every night for the last two weeks. That has NEVER happened before.
Rating:  Summary: Saving Dinner and Making Peace Review: This book is wonderful!! I love the menues, shopping lists and most of the recipes. Some are a little spicy but the next time I just won't use as much as indicated. We are eating healthy, and there is no agonizing over "What's for dinner?". My shopping bill has also been lower because I am not buying stuff I don't need.
Rating:  Summary: Saving time, money and family time Review: I got this book about a week ago. I have been following the week's menu and it is great. The shopping lists make buying groceries a breeze, and I spent $70 less than usual!! My daughter doesn't like everything, but she is getting used to the idea of vegetables. I recommend this book to anyone who cooks. It is good, simple home cooking, with the added bonus of having solid nutritional thought behind it. I have been a subscriber to magazines like Cooking Light etc., but these days the magazines are calling for more and more esoteric (and expensive) ingredients. This is a book a normal cook can really use.I only wish it had been printed on laminated paper!
Rating:  Summary: Time Saver Review: Saving Dinner is innovative - having grocery lists associated with the menus saves time and effort. Easy to choose the recipes your family will enjoy. The concept is great.
Rating:  Summary: Meg's review Review: I dearly love this book. It is such a good idea and well worth its price. Some of the recipes are too spicy for my taste and might not rate well with children but the whole concept of getting the family back to the table is all important. Of the recipes that I have tried, the delicious ones far outweigh the bad ones. The meals are so nutritious and I already feel better. This makes it a money saver in that thre are less doctor bills. I plan on buying this for all my friends for Christmas.

Rating:  Summary: Saving patients Review: Homebound patients on fixed incomes really LOVE this and it is so easy!!!!
Rating:  Summary: DeClutter Your Kitchen - SuperFling Your Cookbooks!! Review: I don't need any other cookbooks with this jewel! My family loves the recipes, and I love the time saved stressing over what will we eat, and what do we need to buy? We are out of the rut we were in eating the same 5 or 6 things over and over and over and over again. We are on our third week of FLYing and our second week of Saving Dinner, and our favorite (so far)is the Italian Turkey Meatloaf----DELICIOUS! What an awesome resource for FLYers, or anyone who wants to save a little time and stress! These entrees are fabulous, and the sidedishes are fabulous too. Quite often, I just don't know what to serve with the main dish, so we end up having an incomplete meal, but now that just doesn't happen anymore! We tend to need to adjust the recipes because our family eats more than 6 servings, but that is quite easy when you already have the grocery list all put together for you! We just add breakfast food, snacks and lunches and then we're done! Thank you Leanne!!
