(More customer reviews)This book has changed my life! I have four young children (who are picky eaters) and a husband who is never home for dinner so my motivation to make the effort to cook at dinner time is pretty low. Every night I would struggle with what to make for dinner in the five minutes I had to consider my options and 10 minutes I had to actually put something on the table. This usually meant that we had a weekly menu of chicken nuggets, spaghetti, pizza and hot dogs..... Not exactly what I envisioned feeding my family at dinner time when I first became a mom! This cook book has made the whole dinner planning and preparing "nightmare "so easy! The cook book gives you a list of things you need to keep on hand to make any one of the 70 delicious meals in the book. My kids and I went to the grocery store one day and just stocked up on whatever the cook book suggested and now I let my kids take turns choosing a recipe from the book on the nights we are home for dinner and I know that I will have whatever I need on hand to make the meal. Kelly Donlea has come up with an ingenious way to take the "stress" out of dinner planning and preparation. For someone like me who doesn't have the time, energy or know how to plan and cook healthy, delicious meals for my family every night this cook book has been a lifesaver! The recipes are very easy and fast so that I have been able to let each of my kids "help" me make dinner from this cook book and then imagine that... they will actually EAT something they've helped to prepare. This cook book has helped me in so many ways but one of the most important things it has done for my life is to know even if I haven't thought about what I am going to make for dinner, I KNOW that I can make something from this cook book or even a recipe that isn't even in THIS cookbook! One weekend my husband wanted to make something - a recipe not even in the cook book and he was on his way out the door to pick up the ingredients we needed - but much to both our surprise we had every ingredient we needed for his recipe simply because we had used the shopping list provided in this cook book... I have never felt so prepared in all my life! Cooking has never been easy for me and this cook book has really changed that for me. By purchasing all of the ingredients on the shopping list and just replacing them as I use them up, I have gained a new confidence in my ability to give my family a decent meal every evening instead of convenience foods all of the time. I highly recommend this cook book to anyone who has struggled with what to make for dinner and doesn't have the time to always plan a weekly menu. This is by far the most useful cook book I have ever owned!
