Review

"As a wife and mother who juggles domestic duties with running a home-based freelance business, Penny Stone's book, 365 Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Dinner Menus is an answer to my prayers. Thanks, Penny, for making my life easier - you've put together a masterpiece of a cookbook. It's one I'll use every day for years to come!" -- Bev Walton-Porter, Enid, OK, Editor/Publisher, Scribe & Quill Freelance Services

"If you're like me, trying to decide what to make for dinner often takes longer than making the meal itself. Penny Stone's terrific new cookbook, 365 Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Dinner Menus, solves that problem by offering an easy to prepare, healthy, delicious meal for every single day of the year. A fun, wonderful cook book book that belongs in every kitchen."

Arlene S. Uslander, Glenview, IL, author of That's What Grandmothers Are For and award winning columnist -- Arlene S. Uslander, author of That's What Grandmothers Are For

"In her new cookbook, author Penny E. Stone offers a year's worth of menu suggestions and recipes as palatable as they are practical. So forget the raspberry salsa. The on-the-go cook will appreciate the easy-to-read collection of recipes that are affordable to make, but don't skimp on the taste. Now, if Stone could only run to the grocery store for me, too..." -- Linda Ferris, editor of Alexandria Times-Tribune

"Once I started reading 365 Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Dinner Menus I couldn't put it down. The meals are nutritious, delicious, and so quick to prepare -- a real plus for busy households. The ingredients were easy to find and extremely affordable. I especially liked all the extras like historical information, tips, techniques and fun facts. It made the reading far more enjoyable than an average cook book. I know I will be grabbing this book over and over as I plan meals for my family. This collection of recipes is a real winner!" -- Kathy Lamancusa, Host of the PBS Series "At Home With Flowers"

"Thank you, Penny! Your book makes creating an inspired dinner is as easy as looking on the calendar. 365 Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Dinner Menus is bound to be a best seller for people with great taste and little time -- R.A. Forster, USA Today top selling author of Keeping Counsel, Pulos Verdes Estates, CA

"There is no excuse for taking the family out to dinner at a fast food restaurant even through you may be tired and weary from a long day at work. Simply open the new cookbook by Penny E. Stone, turn to today's date and whip up the suggested menu. Most of the recipes can be made in less than one hour...While you are broiling, baking or sauteing sit a spell and read the delightful anecdotes sprinkled throughout the cookbook. If the kids are driving you nuts, check our the many offerings of things for kids to do in the kitchen - there are great ideas to keep little helpers busy. I especially enjoyed seeing the preparation and cooking times listed for each recipe." -- Beth Lilley, Enid, Okla., newspaper columnist, author and editor of the forthcoming Oklahoma cookbook in Golden West Publishers' "Cooking Across America" series

"This delightful, fun-to-read book is packed with recipes that will become family favorites because of their taste and ease of preparation. A practical gift for newlyweds or families with children, 365 Quick, Easy and Inexpensive Dinner Menus is sure to find a place of honor in any busy kitchen. In addition to the recipes, there are parenting and kitchen tips as well as ideas about how to celebrate special days of the year. A masterpiece!" -- Grace Witwer Housholder, journalist and author of The Funny Things Kids Say Will Brighten Any Day

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as great as I expected, but still a good resource, March 8, 2000
This review is from: 365 Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Dinner Menus (Paperback)
After all the great reviews, I was a little disappointed in this book for a couple of reasons: 1) the number of recipes that rely on canned "cream of" soups as a major ingredient, 2)the number of recipes that rely on Cheez Whiz as a major ingredient and 3)a good number of the recipes require a bit more time than I expected (for example, the Chicken Fried Steak takes 2 hours to bake). That said, I still think this is a great resource if (like me) you are just plain out of ideas for varying your dinner menus. I have noted several recipes I plan to try and think I will be referring to this book often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nurture Your Family with This Time Saver!, March 6, 2000
This review is from: 365 Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Dinner Menus (Paperback)
You know you're going to really enjoy reading a cookbook when it is kid approved! One after another, I read recipes that were things any kid would really eat - the author sure knows her audience.

A "no brainer" for those who hate to plan meals, 365 Dinner Menus is a breath of fresh air. Full of seasonal tips and facts for each day, this is really three books in one: a cookbook, activity book, and planning calendar for your family.

365 Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Dinner Menus is easy to read, well organized, and incorporates activities to nurture your family, not just feed them. A real time-saver.
