60 Days of Low Fat Low Cost Meals in Minutes : Over 150 Delicious, Healthy Recipes & Menus That Fit Your Budget

Summary: My entire family loves this cookbook
Review: I bought this book imagining how much easier and heathier meal planning could be. What I discovered, after spending $120 for the first week of menus, was that this is not for me. I spent 1.5 hours in the kitchen on the first night of cooking! I am a very busy, working mom. I do not have that much time to spend on preparation, nor the money to spend over $100 per week on food items that I only use a portion of then throw away! I need a meal plan that re-uses leftovers (i.e., most of the english muffins in a bag instead of just one) and is more time/cost conscientious. Hopefully, I will have better luck with my next purchase!

Summary: My entire family loves this cookbook
Review: I have used this book steadily for 2 years and I love it. My family will eat the no nonsense meals. With a little flexibility you can take the menus and customize them to use all the ingredients, or learn to purchase the proper amounts necessary for preparation. My eldest daughter recently moved away and requested one of these books for her own. Whenever we have adhered to these menus, our quality of food intake has improved and our weight tends to drop with little or no effort. My entire family loves this book.

Summary: "Normal food" according to my family! Very practical ideas,
Review: The book offered truly low cost ideas without "low taste". I particularly appreciated the recipe for cream soup substitute because it saves not only money but nutritional value as well.

Summary: Great Food, Low-fat & Easy to Understand
Review: This book not only gives great nutritional advice, but provides good recipes the whole family can enjoy. I have 5 yr old & a 1 1/2 year old - they have cleaned their plates each night. There are a few recipes that seem a bit labor intensive after a long day - but they are very good! Most these recipes match what we like to eat - we have stretched on a few & really enjoyed them. This also matches my weight-loss needs since I am working with a program that require I track my exchanges & they are provided for each recipe!! No more guessing. Plus, I love the balanced meals for my family.
