Summary: Creative!
Review: Often, some of the most original cookbooks evolve from a need to "survive." You want to organize all your recipes into a custom cookbook. This book is a labor of love. Linda has included recipes to help you through the harried days of carpooling, practices and games.

These Delicious Recipes are great for "potlucks" and get-togethers and some of the recipes were shared during such get-togethers.

You will be smiling when you see the chapter titles, little soccer balls and tidbits of humor sprinkled here and there. Also includes meal planning tips for all "sports" moms. There is a place to write down your favorite own recipes after each chapter.

Here are some of the recipes in each chapter:

Warming Up (Beverages) - Banana Crush Punch, Cherry Limeade, Peach Smoothie, Kiwi Punch
Kick Offs (Breakfasts)- Apple Bread, Buttermilk Waffles, Night Before Coffee Cake, Blueberry Muffins.
Passing (Vegetables) - Carrot Zucchini Casserole, Chinese-Style Fried Rice, Curried Fruit.
Penalty Kicks (Quick Foods) - Spaghetti Sauce, Meatballs, Pimento Cheese Sandwiches.
Half Time (Snack Time/Party Time) - Apple Muffins, Cajun Hot Puffs, Brownies, Chocolate Chip cookies.
Scoring (Main Dishes)- Chicken Spaghetti, Fried Chicken, Lasagna, Pork Tenderloin, Yum Yum Chicken.
Finishing (Desserts) - Almond Biscotti, Apple Praline Pie, Boston Cream Pie, Pound Cake.

Then there is a cute chapter on what to take to Soccer Games. Everything from rain gear to lawn chairs. She also includes a list of soccer terms, skills and rules. Linda also tells you how to help your child play at a higher level with more energy and endurance and gives a Sports diet for the week before the weekend game. You have to read her reasons why this book will help you. lol I love her sense of humor.

The gift idea chapter is rather interesting. You can make your own seasoning salt or give it away as gifts.

Quick & Easy Recipes!
