I don't have enough space in this forum to express my total appreciation for this book. I've had it for over a year and I've barely used a fraction of it's valuable ideas. The ones I have used, I've used over and over again! I'm sitting here right now thinking of making some bread. I can either grind the grain by hand or use the recomended grinder I discovered from the book! I'm pretty much all set! A Must Read!

This review is from: Natural Meals In Minutes - High-Fiber, Low-Fat Meatless Storage Meals-in 30 Minutes or Less! (Paperback)

My family does not like beans and lentils. I was looking for ways to incorporate these storage items into our diet. I am really excited about the ideas contained in the book.

The recipes use ingredients that are found in your cupboard. They are healthy but not time consuming. There are many ways to hide the beans in food they would normally eat.

I am a lazy cook. I have to be in the mood and feeling good. Being able to give my family healthy meals without spending ages doing it is fantastic. I highly recommend this book to everyone that is looking to cut down or cut out meat in their diet or using up all the beans and lentils in their food storage.

This review is from: Natural Meals In Minutes - High-Fiber, Low-Fat Meatless Storage Meals-in 30 Minutes or Less! (Paperback)

This book is a great way to use food storage and have nutritious meals. I am intrigued with the idea of the bean flour in baked goods as a way of more complete protein and fiber. I haven not seen this in other places and have tried it and it's great!
