Book Reviews of Holly Clegg's Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals
Book Review: Love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have already cooked over 20 recipes in this book since purchasing it in August of 07--it's October now. All recipes are very easy and fairly quick to prepare with a few exceptions. There are many recipes that are perfect for company. I have only cooked one recipe that wasn't worth the trouble but all the others I have made will be made over and over again. I have about 10 tags on recipes I plan to make in the upcoming weeks. As it gets cold, I am looking forward to the soup recipes.
As a working professional it is so nice to pull out several meals from the freezer on Sunday to defrost in fridge for the week. And they taste better than frozen diet meals and you can make the portions as large as you want. Many recipes already have veggies in them so you have minimal cook times for a complete meal. There is a pretty good variety of foods and they all use diet friendly ingredients with great tasting results. There are tons of recipes in this book. Many have already become repeaters with me. The banana muffins are excellent and so convenient for a quick breakfast by defrosting in the microwave. The macaroni and cheese is sooo good as well as the hashbrown casserole. I have been looking for good healthy recipes for these 2 items for a long time. The Chicken spinach florentine is excellent... I could go on and on.
Another wonderful detail is that Holly provides immediate cooking instructions as well as "from the freezer" and "already defrosted" heating instructions. This gives one a lot of flexibility should you forget to defrost your dinner. And I have had great success by placing individual servings into freezer bags for single servings for this single gal. She also gives you freezer dates for each recipe so you can write the expiration date on your freezer bag. And for you moms and dads out there, most of the recipes are kid friendly.
Only drawbacks are that there are several enchilada/mexican casserole recipes that seem very similar to each other but I have yet to cook them so I really can't confirm that they taste the same. I wish there were more red meat recipes and more desserts with chocolate--but that may be wishful thinking? Most of the ground beef (ground turkey) recipes seem to be the same thing as well-- several versions of tomato based meat sauce and plain spaghetti sauces. I also wish there were some marinated meat recipes. There is nothing easier in OAMC cooking than adding herbs and sauces to raw meats, freezing and then while they defrost, they marinate. Holly, I think you need to write another one of these freezer cookbooks, please!!!!
All in all, this book has definitely changed my eating habits, made my meals tastier, made my life easier, and saved me money! When chicken goes on sale, I make several chicken dinners that last for weeks. Great purchase and I will be on the lookout for a second book like this one, Holly! Thanks!
