Summary: A Great Way To Plan Meals!
Review: I have been waiting for this book to be available! I already knew of Leanne Ely from Flylady, and had already tried several of her recipes with great success. Leanne has taught me a lot about healthy cooking, how to stock my pantry, and how to plan a well balanced meal. All this from her Food for Thought essays through Flylady. So when I heard she had written a new book, I couldn't wait to get it. One of my favorite things about Saving Dinner are the side-dish suggestions with each meal. I feel so good knowing I am feeding my family completely healthy meals. My family RAVED over the Crock Beef Sandwiches on page 7, which was one of the easiest meals I have prepared in a long time. My husband and I also loved the Apple Chicken. We look forward to trying more and more recipes from Saving Dinner, and I am adding Leanne Ely's other cookbooks to my Christmas list! Thank you, Leanne! I wish I could come see you at the Flyfest in Chattanooga!

Summary: Delicious Food at Your Fingertips
Review: I recently ordered this book from Amazon.com and I have not been disappointed. From the Flylady website I knew that Leanne Ely has some of the most delicious recipes. My family has raved over most of the recipes that I received from Leanne through Flylady. The same holds true for the recipes that are in SAVING DINNER. The food I have prepared using this cookbook has been popular with my family. I love having the menus and shopping lists prepared for me. It saves me about thirty to forty minutes each week in meal planning preparation. I should add that these recipes take thirty minutes or less to prepare.

Summary: Very encouraging and helpful
Review: I am enjoying the book and most of the recipes. The only thing I would find helpful is a little more detail in the ingredients and sometimes the instructions. For someone with a lot of experience, this would be a non-issue. But for me...well. Otherwise, I love having it all done for me. This has alleviated TONS of stress in my busy life.

Summary: What a time saver!
Review: Meal planning has always been a chore for me. I used to come home from the grocery store after spending over $100, and my husband would ask, "so, what's for dinner?" Well, that was a good question! This book saves me time (no meal planning and list making) and money! I bought a week's worth of groceries at a fraction of the cost, my kids love the food, I know the meals are healthy and best of all, & I am much less stressed!!! Thanks, Leanne for a wonderful resource. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Saving Dinner is just what I needed1
Review: I found out about Leanne Ely at the best possible time! I was going through a hard time, barely able to function, let alone think about dinner (and forget shopping). I ordered this book before it was released, and couldn't wait to get it. I can go to the store & buy a weeks groceries without worrying or thinking ahead (can even send the list with another family member). All I have to do is follow the directions and we have a wonderful balanced meal. If I'm not up to it, another family member can, because everything is already on hand. Talk about stress relief! And, I know I can keep this up - it's continuous (an entire years worth). Thanks Leanne!

Summary: She saved my Dinner
Review: I started by using Leanne's recipes off of FlyLady but found I wanted more!! I waited with baited breath for her book to come out and even went hunting for it on my Holidays. Everyone was out of it right away so I ordered it online and it was delivered to me within 4 days. WOW! I have not been dissapointed. I am one of the world's worst cooks and with this book I can actually feed my diabetic husband, myself, a very busy 15 yo and a vegetarian who eats at wierd hours with the same meal plan and shopping list. And they all love what I cook. We are actually spending less on eating out and we are all eating (mostly) at the same time. Leanne makes cooking fun again.

Summary: So easy to use!
Review: I have just received this book, and I am so anxious to try out the recipes. I like the author's approach to cooking for the family. I have used her recipes before from a site on the net, and have always been pleased. It's also so handy to have the shopping list right there so you know just what to buy. This should be a "best seller"!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: When I was growing up, my family ate dinner together every evening. At the time, I didn't realize what a tremendous gift this was. As I got older, I saw this tradition slipping away along with the fabric of the family in the United States. What Leanne does in her books is more than just providing recipes. She puts love in the equation. Eating together is important for families.

Thank you, Leanne for your efforts to bring back the family table!
