Book Reviews of Saving Dinner: The Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Bring Your Family Back to the Table

Book Review: Best "real life" cookbook ever
Summary: 5 Stars

To anyone looking at the reviews here on "Saving Dinner," it should be very obvious that this is a fantastic cookbook. I don't think it is an understatement to say this book could change lives, because it makes it possible for even casual cooks and extremely busy women (and who isn't??) to bring the family back to the table, as the subtitle says.

I love to cook and love reading cookbooks, but this is a cookbook you won't want to just read, you'll buy it and it will become one of your "go to" cookbooks.

I do not follow the system the author has devised for weeks of meals, or seasons. But you can, if you want to. I mix and match, cooking what appeals to me. But the mere fact that she has arranged the weeks' meals, with shopping list, should sell millions of this book for consumers that want that extra help.

The recipes are terrific, I've made too many to even count from this book, and there is not a single "dud" among them. (I have to admit I never tried the pumpkin soup another reviewer here disliked -- but I would not expect to like pumpkin soup, so would probably never be drawn to that recipe. I have, however, loved the Asian Honey Chicken, the chicken with garlic and lime, the roasted lemon chicken IN THE CROCKPOT...and so much more.)

Along with my Betty Crocker Cookbook, this is the other book on my shelf that I turn to when I'm planning my weekly menus to bring my OWN family "back to the table." No, these are not company dinners - but you have your fancy recipes and expensive ingredients you will use on those special occasions, right? This book is full of day in, day out, healthy and easy to make food for your family.

Note: The way I'm raving you might think I am a friend of the author's or something. I'm not,never met her, I'm just a Flybaby who loves this cookbook.

Recommendation: Can I give it six stars? Everyone who eats should own this book.

Summary of Saving Dinner: The Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Bring Your Family Back to the Table

Certified nutritionist Leanne Ely has a simple philosophy: "Make it and they will come." Dinner, that is. Take-out, opening a can, or microwave fare shouldn't pass for a nice, healthy meal-and nothing can replace a family's time together. Believe it or not, preparing dinner can be a stress-free endeavor. Even your time in the supermarket can be cut in half!

Full of practical tips on simple, healthy meal planning, Saving Dinner is the ideal solution for today's busy parents who would love to have their family sitting around the dinner table once again-sharing stories along with a nutritious meal. Efficiently divided by season, each section features six weeks of menus with delicious recipes, side dish suggestions, and an itemized grocery list that is organized by product (dairy, meat, produce) to make one-stop shopping a snap. Plus the book is packed with helpful hints and short cuts in the kitchen that make cooking easier and more fun.

From Big Basil Burgers and Salmon Carbonara to Crockpot Chili and Spicy Apricot Chicken, Saving Dinner will have your family coming back to the table-and back again for seconds!
Leanne Ely is considered the expert on family cooking and healthy eating. Between her popular "Heart of a Woman" radio show in Southern California and her weekly "Food for Thought" column on the ever-popular Flylady.net Web site, thousands of fans have already discovered Leanne's secrets to easily prepared, well-balanced meals.
