I love this book! The meals are so simple and what I like best is the book tells me how much to store for one month using the recipies from the book!

I was disappointed with all aspects of this book. I was expecting a handy recipe guide that would give tasty meals to prepare from stored food such as wheat, beans, rice and powdered milk. I was not expecting a book that has thirty must-have foods, titled "Fabulous 30" foods, the first of which is Kellogg's Nutri-Grain cereal. The list of must-have foods also includes pancake mix, biscuit mix and pretzels, among other things. After this list of foods the author presented 30 recipes, one of which was Pizza Sandwich made by placing mozzarella cheese on toast and topping it with spaghetti sauce. The back side of each recipe page includes a supposedly useful tip, unfortunately most of them are poorly researched and some are just wrong. This book is written at the internet newsletter level. I got nothing from this book. The main ingredients used in the recipes seemed to be instant brown rice, canned beans and potatoes. I would recommend that readers who are looking for great information and tasty meal ideas check out the book, More-with-Less Cookbook by Doris Janzen Longacre.

This is a wonderfully-written book that is a must-have for anyone who likes tasty and nutritious food. I thought that to make healthy food you would need to have a taste for cardboard and a HUGE budget - not so! Thanks for giving me an easy way to feed my family (with ingredients that normal people have) in about 15 minutes!
