This cookbook is full of quick and easy and delicious recipes my family loves! I have made several dishes including the stuffed pork tenderloins and they were fabulous! And Judie Byrd has great ideas for breakfast, like smoothies and I love her idea for Breakfast Cookies! My kids think I'm giving them treats for breakfast and they are truly healthful!
I bet this book sells a million copies! Every mom raising children needs this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, delicious meal ideas anyone can cook!!, October 17, 2001

This cookbook has turned out to be better than I ever thought! I bought the cookbook because of its title - my family is always hungry and I am the one who has to feed them! Well, this cookbook has given my hundreds of new dinner ideas that have been easy to prepare. My family has liked every single meal that I have prepared from this book - which says a lot!

One of our favorite recipe is the Pizza Roll - it is so easy to make yet it looks terrific and everyone in my family loves it!
The green bean recipe has transformed my normally mundane green beans into something that I would serve at a dinner club.

By far the best recipe for breakfast is the banana bread - a recipe that Judie Byrd says is her own mother's recipe. We love it and I am now saving bananas just so I can make it!

I can't say enough about this cookbook. It is easy to read, the dinner ideas are incredible. One of the chapters is a month's worth of dinner ideas! With my two kids and busy life this cookbook has helped me make some great meals for my family without keeping me in the kitchen for hours.

I hope there is a follow-up cookbook!....

I have a very large collection of cookbooks and am always looking for recipes that my husband and children will eat. I get discouraged with many cookbooks that offer restaurant style food, when what I am looking for is quick, flavorful, non-threatening, fairly healthy meals that everyone will like.

This cookbook fills the bill. I have gone through and marked all the recipes I want to try and now this book is bristling with post-it notes. I have already made the Chicken in a Bag and the Hearty and Wonderful Chicken and Rice and my husband loved both of them. I dearly hope Judie Byrd puts out another cookbook, I will be first in line if she does!
