4.0 out of 5 stars My newest favorite cookbook, January 27, 2009

By	Stitches (Newark, Delaware USA) - See all my reviews

Healthy flavorful recipes made from ingredients you probably already have, or will be easily found in the local grocery store. Most recipes come with a Time-Saver tip or a suggestion for a side dish.
Each recipe ends with a breakdown of per serving: calories, fat, sat fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, protein, and of course, points.
A lot of the recipes are for suitable for lunches or dinners. There are very few for breakfast, soups, salads, or desserts. (This actually suits me just fine.)
The spiral bound spine allows the book to lie flat on the counter. Sturdy hard cover. Appetizing pictures.
So why only 4 stars? For some odd reason, the ingredient lists are printed in a light grey color. The instructions are normal black color. I find my tired old eyes squinting to read the ingredients. Annoying.
Not annoying enough to dampen my enthusiasm or lessen my recommendation for my newest favorite cookbook!

5.0 out of 5 stars This cookbook really does have fast and delicious recipes!, January 27, 2009

By	Margie D. "book junkee" (California) - See all my reviews

I have several weight watchers cookbooks and I'd have to say that this one is the best so far. The recipes are indeed quick and do produce yummy results. Everything has tasted great. I don't like spending a lot of time or effort in making daily meals. However, I know as a life time member of weight watchers (and as a person interested in eating healthy food) how it's important to eat good meals at home. Plus in this economy, you can save much money by making it yourself instead of doing takeout.
The one thing that I don't do is quick cooking rice because it tastes wierd to me. I remedy that problem by starting the rice first thing in my wonderful rice cooker. It's just as easy that way.
This cookbook has already paid for itself several times over in just the month or so that I have had it. It has my highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tasty Recipes-really, January 17, 2009

The recipes in this book really take 20 minutes or less and are really delicious. These recipes are family friendly. With our hectic schedule this book makes it easy to plan a week's worth of meals. The family favorite is the "Sausage, Mushroom, and Tomato Stew." With my life I need "fast" and Weight watchers came through with a great cookbook.
