We tried two recipes from this book and they were both pretty bad. I don’t recommend it unless you like bland food.
Rating: 2 / 5
Not a bad product, just not as good as I would have expected. The ideas are enough for the week, though, so you can use it as a base and then go on from there.

I love this product! This book is wonderful for planning meals for whole days, weeks and months! Easy to follow recipes.

As someone who did not know how to dice an onion a month and a half ago, this book gave me some basic and tasty recipes that are simple to make and loved in our home such as the spicy sweet potato fries, crab tostadas, and tortilla soup. I’ve since learned how to handle a knife, and thanks to youtube videos, I can now dice an onion and julienne a bell pepper and a lot more. So I’ll be moving on in my quest for new recipes, but some of the dishes in this book will remain a permanent fixture in our home. Recommended.

As a working mom, I don’t think I’m alone in feeling like “if only someone would tell me what to make for dinner, I wouldn’t mind cooking”. This book not only does that, it gives me a grocery list for each week’s menus. I simply make a copy of the list, cross off what I already have at home and head off to the store! Knowing that we have a plan and all the ingredients are at home means no last minute stops at the grocery store or fast food for dinner.
Our family consists of my husband who is diabetic, a teenager who is trying to be a vegitarian and myself. Between work, school and family obligations we found ourselves grabbing fast food or going out to eat several times a week. Now with minimal planning we can have healthy meals at home. There are so many quick recipes in this book that we can often find a meal to fit into those nights where we are on the go or coming home late.
I have recommended this book to so many family and friends. These healthy recipes would be valuable to any family, not only those with a diabetic member.
