I have all of Holly Clegg's cookbooks and I think that "Meals On The Move" is my all time favorite. I am not the best cook and I never seem to have enough time. Everything I have made out of this book has been great....even my husbund has commented on it! I highly recommend it. If it works for me, it will work for anyone.

I have all of Holly's cookbooks. They are all easy and with great cooking ideas. This new book is my favorite. Try the grilled shrimp on french bread. It is wonderful.We are all so busy and this book helps me to provide quick, easy food for my family that is also healthy.

"Meals on the Move: Rush Hour Recipes" is sure to delight the tastebuds of anyone who tries the recipes. And the best part is that they are not only delicious but can be created in thirty minutes or less. The American Institute for Cancer Research was consulted on the preparation of the meals and many of the recipes designed to include extra fruits and vegetables. Quick, nutritious, healthy, tasty; what more could you ask for from a recipe book?
The front of the book has "Mix and Match Menus". For several given categories of menu types (Italian, Casual, Greek, Mexican, etc.) there are suggested Starters, Main Dishes, Sides, Salads & Breads, and Desserts so it is easy to plan a complete meal of complementary dishes easily.
Extras include a comb style binding so the book will lie flat when used, notation for several recipes on how to alter the recipe to make it even more healthy, nutritional facts, and Tips and Tricks.
Some absolutely fantastic choices include Spinach and Tomato Crustless Quiche, Mushroom Barley soup, and Potato Pizza (an excellent heat and eat breakfast too if any is left over).
A fantastic recipe book that should be in everyone's kitchen in today's hectic world. A highly recommended buy.

I love Mexican food and this book has so many recipes that satisfy my cravings for spicy food without the saturated fat of my usual recipes. I've made a number of these dishes and I'm just amazed every time at how flavorful they turn out. My favorite discovery was the Taco Soup (so easy and tasty!) and I find I have to double the recipe if I want any leftover to freeze. It seems the recipes have similar ingredients so shopping is easy and if I decide I'm not in the mood for chicken, I can usually find a pasta or pork recipe that uses the same ingredients. I also found the desserts to be high in flavor and low in calories and fat. I learned about the cookbook through a fitness segment on the news and I just can't say enough good things about this cookbook. It's the best purchase I've made in a long time!

This is a terrific cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and the food tastes great. It is especially nice to have the nutritional content of each serving given with the recipe. This book is an excellent gift idea to a new bride or anyone who is in need of a cookbook. I LOVE IT!!

Our 39 year old daughter was ordered to stick to a high-fiber, low cholesterol diet, because of colon polyps. This book was mentioned in a newsletter put out by the American Institute of Cancer Research. Our daughter-in-law purchased the book for our daughter for Christmas. When visiting my daughter, I prepared a number of the recipes from this book. I never believed that anything so good for you could taste so fantastic. I purchased the book for myself, and our daughter-in-law said she would like to have it, too. My husband just had colon cancer surgery, so we will be enjoying even more of these wonderful recipes; and we love the fact that the dietary fiber & cholesterol amounts are given for each recipe.

Meals On The Move: Rush Hour Recipes offers delightful, nutritious, and "kitchen friendly" recipes for quick to prepare recipes that will satisfy any appetite and please any palate. Enhanced with information on Nutritional Analysis and Diabetic Exchanges (drawn from the American Institute for Cancer Research); "Healthier Approach"; Food Facts; a Mix & Match Menu Planner; and a Tips and Tricks Section; Meals On The Move with its comb-style binding (allowing for the cookbook to lay flat upon the counter) is truly impressive. From Strawberry Bread; Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad; Glazed Salmon with Cantaloupe Salsa; and Stuffed Potatoes Primavera; to Asparagus with Lemon Caper Vinaigrette; Triple Corn Pudding; Mexican Layered Dip; and Banana Pie with Chocolate Glaze, Meals On The Move is an ideal cookbook choice for nutrition conscious kitchen cooks with time constraints.

I absolutely love every cookbook that Holly Clegg has come out with and I have every one. This latest book is so informative and with such delicious recipes. I have recommended it to all my family and friends. I was lucky enough to be at the book signing of this latest book this past Saturday in Baton Rouge and I actually have all of my cookbooks by her signed. My advice to everyone is to buy this latest cookbook. You won't be sorry.
