The Frantic Woman's Guide to Feeding Family and Friends: Shopping Lists, Recipes, and Tips for Every Dinner of the Year Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The last thing I needed was another cookbook to take up shelf space, but I needn't have worried. This one hasn't been "put away" since I bought it. That's because there are no long lists of exotic ingredients. No elaborate preparations. Just simple, quick and easy kid-friendly dishes that can be prepared either in advance or on a tight schedule. Some of the recipes have already become favorites, already requested again by my family. Time-saving shopping lists and useful tips also come in handy. The author's informal, friendly style evokes the feeling of a girlfriend sharing recipes and tips over coffee at the kitchen table. FWGFFF is a winner for frantic moms on the go and the frantic families who love them.

The 1500-Calorie-a-Day Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Everything the first cookbook, The 1200-Calorie-a-Day Menu Cookbook : Quick and Easy Recipes for Delicious Low-fat Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, and Desserts wanted to be and wasn't. Don't get me wrong; it was fine for its time. This book is just plain better.
Updated recipes with 9 or fewer ingredients and less reliability on fat-free, chemical-laden frankenfoods. (Although there are some!)
The entire meal takes less than 30 minutes--the whole menu complete on one page. Calorie count and other nutritional information provided for each recipe/menu including identifying menus higher in fiber, vitamins A & C, and calcium.
I made the Creamy Pumpkin Pie dip for our dance troupe hafla and it was a big hit! Nothing to take home.
She doesn't provide grocery lists. That will depend on what menus you choose. But, she does offer a brief nutritional introduction (just enough to keep your eyes from glazing over)and suggestions for what to do with leftovers. I'm all about freezing extra portions for later so I don't mind a recipe that serves 4-6.
Those who've read some of my other review will note that I'm a BIG fan of mix and match diet cookbooks. If I was going to buy a companion volume, I'd choose The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook
