From menus to meal plans, healthy recipes to brand selections and pantry tips, JoAnna M. Lund makes mealtime a breeze.

Whether it's an Old-Fashioned Chicken and Biscuits Dinner or a fresh Spring Fling, a Seaside Pasta Parade or a Sweet Summer Supper, hosts and hostess will be in and out of the kitchen faster than they can say Mocha Madness.

Plus, when guests fill up on JoAnna's family-tested recipes, no one will ever know what's missing from these scrumptious concoctions: the fat, calories, and cholesterol!

- Festive dishes for special occasions

I have tried almost all of these recipes and each one tasted great. I love the fact that each recipe is low-fat AND tastes great. I've tried recipes on family and friends and no one was able to guess that it was low-fat. Everyone raved over them. I would buy one for all of my friends if I could afford to do so (but I don't want to give away all of my "secrets").
