Summary: Not what I expected
Review: Many years ago when my children were small I had a Betty Crocker Good and Easy Cookbook. It had lots of economical,quick, everyday recipes. I used it all the time. I wanted to buy the same or similar cookbook for my daughter and daughter-in-laws. But this is nothing like the one I had back in the '60s. There are lots of ethnic recipes. Many of them are spicy foods not suitable for children. I am sure there are many delicious recipes in this book it is just not what I was expecting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: Most of this stuff is so easy to make, you'll find yourself thinking "Why didn't I think of that?" We have loved nearly everything we make out of this book, and the title says it all. Some of our favorite dishes are from this cookbook.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just Like The Cover Says "Good And Easy"
Review: The Betty Crocker Good And Easy Cookbook is a favorite of my home. The recipes are made from common household ingredients. Nothing fancy, and none of them have alot of ingredients. It's a great way to get supper to the table every night. There are also alot of recipes that kids love, too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for busy families or when you need a quick meal.
Review: This cookbook offers many recipes for meals taking under one hour to prepare(most under 30 minutes). Each recipe comes with prep time, cook time and nutritional information. The pictures are full page and in color. Wonderful!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A nice little cookbook when you're plum out of ideas!
Review: This is a good, solid cookbook with photos of many of the completed dishes. It's a handy inspiration for when you just don't know what to make next!

If you like to cook, but don't always have the luxury of time for preparation, this just might be the book for you. Relax on the couch and peruse the pages, while everyone else is focused on the television, and I'll bet you will find enough tempting fare to make out a menu and grocery list for the next two weeks. The recipes use mostly common pantry items, but often add a little kick to make the meals interesting -- so it's likely that you'll need to visit the grocery store before trying them.

I've already enjoyed the Cincinnati-Style Chili, Super-Easy Chicken Manicotti (just stuff the dry manicotti shells with chicken tenders, sauce them with a little extra water, refrigerate overnight, and bake the next day!), Mediterranean Couscous and Beans, and Ham-Dijon Muffins (a refreshing change for breakfast). All are keepers!

Good meals don't have to take hours to prepare!

P.S. Some of us do freeze up the second loaf of banana-nut bread when we make it!

Summary: Good source for simple cooking
Review: This is a great cookbook for either the beginner or the person needing quick recipes. The book offers a wide variety of recipes. Recipes range from simple beverages to great tasting desserts. This book would be perfect for the novice cook, or the spouse. Recipes do use prepared prepackaged ingredients in interesting ways. This is definately worth your while if you need to put together food in a quick hurry.

This is definately worth your while if you need to put together food in a quick hurry. The only drawback is some recipes do require ingredients that are not in most pantries. So be sure to read ahead of time and stock up on special ingredients.
