I was very excited to get this book, until I actually got it. The recipes are broken down into months that they appeared in the magazine, instead of by categories like beef or chicken. Also there are a lot of salad recipes, which wasn't really what I was looking for, and there aren't many pictures in the book either. I found a few things in the book I want to try, maybe I could have found more if it was set up a little differently.

I purchased this book to replace a water-logged 2008 edition. My husband and I have not only been trying to eat healthier, but we've also been trying to save money by cooking at home. Every week I flip through the two books and come up with a variety of recipes to make each night - we've eaten so many new and interesting meals and know we're doing something good for ourselves at the same time. Something I've found helpful is to visit the [...] site to check out reviews of each recipe for tips from other readers.
