This cookbook has delicious recipes that are simple to follow and do not require outrageous or hard to find ingredients. I have made probably 20 to 30 of the recipes from the front of the book to the back and every single one (how many cookbooks can you say that about?) have turned out good enough for guests. My friends and I have started calling this book "The Good Book". The Banana Crunch Cake is so good, my family eats the whole thing in one sitting!

This is without a doubt the best dessert cookbook I own. The recipes are simple; many of them use convenience items like cake mix, refrigerated pie crusts, cresent rolls, etc. The recipes also include the name of the creator and the award and year the recipe won. Some of the recipes are 30+ old, but they are still excellent. My favorites are the Surprise Pecan Pie (a pecan pie cheesecake) and Candy Bar cookies.

This cookbook includes recipes from real-life people. The recipes are easy to prepare with ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry and refrigerator. Also, there are lots of full color pictures, which I like. Most of the recipes are for baked goods (i.e. breads, desserts, breakfasts, cookies, pies, and cakes). I especially like the section on breakfast breads and cakes because my two boys, age 7 and 9, can prepare many of the recipes (with a little help). I like the Main Entree section because most of the meals take little time to prepare. My favorite meal is the California Casserole which I have prepared for my family, a sick friend, and a pot-luck dinner. Everyone seems to like it.

I absolutely LOVE this cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and make, and they taste delicious. Most of the cookbook is devoted to baking, but there are plenty of delicious main dishes to try. The Oatmeal Carmelitas are an absolute favorite among my family and friends

I bought this book for a friend, loving my own copy so much. The recipes are easy and the pictures make me want to try every single one! I get nothing but compliments when I share my dishes with friends. You cannot go wrong with this book.

I checked this book out in my local library, and I love it so much that I will be buying a copy for my mother, as well as myself. We are always looking for recipes that will leave us more time to enjoy our family, instead of spending all our time cooking.

From the main dishes to the desserts, this book has everything a Dad, or anyone else, needs to put together a great meal. Great pictures and easy recipes to follow. Buy it.
