5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome cookbook for the whole family, August 14, 2008

By	mama duck (APO Germany) - See all my reviews

I honestly LOVE this cookbook. It has a lot of pictures of the finished dishes, all of which are easy to fix and don't require weird ingredients. It's a great cookbook to set the kids at the table with and say "hey, YOU guys pick the meals this week". It's THAT good, and you will not be disappointed. The crockpot section is very good too and will be perfect for during the school year when our family's schedule gets hectic again. My family gives this cookbook the all thumbs up!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cookbook In My Cupboard!, May 14, 2008

By	Erica Nieland (Garland, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This cookbook has awesome recepies that fill you up! Try the Beef Tortilla Bake, the Chicken Nacho Bake, Cheeseburger Calzones and so much more! Everything I have made from this cookbook has been a winner at my house. My boyfriend is a very picky eater, I am too, and we love these meals! They are so satisfying, low calorie and low in fat. And for the price, it should be a no-brainer. You need this cookbook!
