Product Description
A cookbook designed to help you spend more time with your family and to stretch your grocery money!

Do you often eat take-out food because "there's nothing to eat at home?" (Even though your shelves and refrigerator are full!) Do you end up throwing away too much of your grocery purchases because you had an item, but didn't have a good recipe to use it? Yes? This cookbook was designed for YOU!

Are you frequently tired, but have to find something for dinner? Not some long-winded recipe with 15 ingredients and 45 steps, but something quick and wholesome and delicious that the family will smile at and eat? Then this cookbook is designed for YOU!

Our NEW cookbook has over 200 tasty recipes and variations that use ingredients from your pantry shelf and/or leftovers! These are recipes that will make your family look forward to your meals! Hopefully, you will find one or two recipes that you remember being a family favorite, or at least several that will become favorites now!

The cookbook is from our philosophy that learning not to waste your food, your grocery purchases, and your time will help you in an overall program of learning to save and invest and make the most use of what you already have! We also strongly believe that eating at home, around the dinner table with the family is one of the best ways to strengthen family relationships.

Use our unique Index by Ingredient to find a recipe for an ingredient that you would like to use, like that container of sour cream in the fridge or that can of peaches in the pantry.

If you are eating takeout too often or throwing out too much of your weekly grocery purchases, then we guarantee that you will save at least the cost of our cookbook or your money back! We hope this will be an encouraging step toward a savings and investment program that will eventually lead to a calmer and higher quality of life for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Many easy recipes, January 20, 2002

By A Customer

I have tried several recipes in this book and I was pleased with the results of each one! I especially liked the hints and the recipes using simple ingredients, such as the Applesauce Recipe and the Cheesy Toast Sticks recipe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great variety! Good family food, February 26, 2002

By A Customer

Wow! This cookbook has such a nice variety of recipes. My family especially liked the Beef and Taco Bake and also the Beef Barbeque Sandwiches (made from leftover roast and slow simmered to mouthwatering perfection). We also liked many of the cookie recipes - Champion cookies, Happy Kid Cookies. Also appreciated the icing recipes - sure beats canned frosting. It's a nice mixture of super easy, super fast recipes and recipes that are still easy and fast but more involved. Oh, yes, we really like the French Toast Casserole. That came out like something from a gourmet restaurant.
