2.0 out of 5 stars Great meal ideas, but they take too much time to prepare!, May 13, 1998
I bought this book imagining how much easier and heathier meal planning could be. What I discovered, after spending $120 for the first week of menus, was that this is not for me. I spent 1.5 hours in the kitchen on the first night of cooking! I am a very busy, working mom. I do not have that much time to spend on preparation, nor the money to spend over $100 per week on food items that I only use a portion of then throw away! I need a meal plan that re-uses leftovers (i.e., most of the english muffins in a bag instead of just one) and is more time/cost conscientious. Hopefully, I will have better luck with my next purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars My entire family loves this cookbook, December 4, 1998
By A Customer
I have used this book steadily for 2 years and I love it. My family will eat the no nonsense meals. With a little flexibility you can take the menus and customize them to use all the ingredients, or learn to purchase the proper amounts necessary for preparation. My eldest daughter recently moved away and requested one of these books for her own. Whenever we have adhered to these menus, our quality of food intake has improved and our weight tends to drop with little or no effort. My entire family loves this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Food, Low-fat & Easy to Understand, August 24, 1999
This book not only gives great nutritional advice, but provides good recipes the whole family can enjoy. I have 5 yr old & a 1 1/2 year old - they have cleaned their plates each night. There are a few recipes that seem a bit labor intensive after a long day - but they are very good! Most these recipes match what we like to eat - we have stretched on a few & really enjoyed them. This also matches my weight-loss needs since I am working with a program that require I track my exchanges & they are provided for each recipe!! No more guessing. Plus, I love the balanced meals for my family.
