5.0 out of 5 stars Great everyday recipes, August 25, 2008

By	simple cook "simple cook" (Milford, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This is a cookbook of great everyday recipes. My family is kind of meat and potatoes and doesn't like that "gourmet" stuff most cookbooks have. The peach cobble-up, apple crisp and chicken and dumplings are awesome and fairly simple to make. You might have to start out buying some of the lower fat or sugar substitute ingredients but most of the ingredients are regular pantry items. I definitely recommend this book if you are looking for some healthy recipe alternatives to old fashioned cooking. I usually buy a cookbook, use it once or twice and it winds up on a shelf, but not this one. I use it at least once a week and sometimes 3 or 4 times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saw it in USA Today, January 7, 2009

By	Anonymous in Arizona - See all my reviews

Saw this book in USA Today and ordered it because the recipes and menus looked simple, inexpensive and delicious. I haven't been disappointed! Especially liked the market basket makeovers and shopping tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook!, May 22, 2009

By	K. Officer (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am taking a class for diabetics and the registered dietician (who is also a type 1 diabetic) highly recommended this book. She has it herself and uses it a lot. I will be ordering this one. The other thing she said was that everyone in the household should be eating the same meals- not to fix separate meals for the diabetic person while the rest of the family eats the less healthy fare.
