Rating:  Summary: The greatest cookbook ever.. Review: I bought this cookbook about a month ago. I just love it! It has easy recipes that taste great. My husband and 2 1/2 year old daughter just love the food. Before if we were short on time we would go get some fast food, but now with this cookbook it is quicker to make dinner than to go and buy it.
Rating:  Summary: Feed Your Family, Please Everyone, Get Healthy! Review: I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend that runs a cooking store. Wow! I'm always short on time and ideas, running for fast food when my brain goes numb - it always happens near 6 p.m. - well, this book stopped ALL that! Not to mention side effects I hadn't anticipated! The recipes are simple, full of flavor and healthy. I'm not saying this book is solely responsible, but my husband's cholesteral level dropped significantly and I lost 15 pounds. I normally have 5-7 people at the table each night - 3 generations - and this book has something for everyone. I'm giving it as my Christmas present to all my friends, making sure my daughter has a copy to take to college with her, and moving all my other cookbooks off the kitchen shelf. I even packed this book for our 2 week vacation at the beach. This is the one cookbook no cook (busy or otherwise) should be without!
Rating:  Summary: Even My Teenagers Enjoy the Food from this Book! Review: I bought this cook book after reading a review in the newspaper. It is wonderful! Using convenience foods from the grocery store you can fix dinners in 30 minutes that taste great. One of our favorites is Easy Enchilada's. My college age son requests it when he's home (this from a mom who is not known for her cooking!) Also try the bean burritos. I've given out 10 of these books to friends, family and teachers!
Rating:  Summary: I am a disciple Review: My friend (who has 4 children) recommended this book to me and I have erected a statue in her honor in my front yard (just kidding) to thank her. One day my 8 year-old could tell I was stressed out about preparing dinner. He came to me, looked up and said "It's OK Mom - just make one of your speedy dinners". Enough said. This cookbook has great recipes that my children and husband like and many that I crave. You can't go wrong. Thanks Cynthia.
Rating:  Summary: Great for busy parents! Review: No more frantic dinners after work. With a little work on the weekends, our weeknights are calm and satisfying with delicious meals. Great - thank you so much!
Rating:  Summary: The only cookbook I've used for the past few months! Review: This is such a great cookbook that I feel I must write my first review here to tell everyone about it! This is the solution to my dinner problems. Now my family gets more then just pasta with sauce when I'm fresh out of ideas and time.The recipes are simple but delicious. Categories include soups, salad, entrees, skillet meals, breakfast for dinner and even desserts! My favorite is a Ham & Cheese Pasta Salad...great during the hot summer months! If you're looking for a "dinner in a hurry" cookbook, this is it!
Rating:  Summary: My new favorite cookbook Review: These women are geniuses! They figured out how to make great food quickly without sacrificing taste. It is the most used cookbook in my collection. Every dish I've tried has been great.
Rating:  Summary: Best cookbook I own! Review: We got this book last Christmas as a gift -- I was attracted to the funny title, but never imagined we'd use it as much as we do! Great, versatile recipes, from extravagant-looking (but possible in 20 minutes or less) to, well, desperate... but still delicious. It is by far the most-used cookbook I have.
Rating:  Summary: A Must-Have for My Cookbook Shelf -- Good-bye Julia Child?!? Review: I've got a little of everything on my cookbook shelf, from gourmet to so-called Working Womens' Cookbook. Ha! Nothing I've tried so far is as fast, and as good as the recipes in this book. I also hang over the book, reading the story that goes with each recipe, while my water heats, hamburger browns, or whatever. I work at home, so I grab a recipe about 5:00pm and check for any ingredients I don't have on hand. I pick up maybe one thing at the store on my way home with the kids, and 30 minutes later, it's supper time! Not bad, considering how "needy" my kids are when we first get home. Buy this book!
Rating:  Summary: Hungry, tired and no time? You have to get this cookbook! Review: Good recipes, easy to make, no strange ingredients, no special skills needed. This is the cookbook that I turn to when I have to figure out what's for dinner. The food is GOOD! My family is so glad that I have this cookbook. They were getting tired of the same things for dinner every night.
