Summary: This is the cookbook I use when I don't feel like cooking!
Comment: I must admit I'm a cook book junkie--always at the library and book stores looking for healthy, "kid-friendly" recipes. I purchased this book on a whim five years ago, and would rate it my all time favorite "family" cookbook. Recipes are in chapters: Soups, Chicken & Fish, Ground Beef (Turkey), Vegetables, Grains, Tortillas, Potatos, Pita Pockets, Stir-fry, Salads, Breads, Finishing touches, Snacks & Lunch treats for kids, and finally Beverages. At the end of all recipes are suggestions to "balance your meal." Many of these suggestions are other recipes in the cook book. There are also several microwave recipes throught the book. The tortilla recipes (Bean Burrito--micro & fast!) and pita recipes (Chicken Parmesan Pita)are especially good. The Chocolate Pudding (micro) recipe is a great after school snack. The bottom line is that my kids will eat almost everything I cook from this book, and I can't say that about any other cook book I own.

Summary: Very useful, practical cookbook
Comment: I really like the Quick Meals book - true, no pictures, so if that bothers you, don't get it. As for some of the recipes starting with time-savers like cans of soup or pancake/biscuit mix instead of making it from scratch, that didn't bother me either. I thought the recipes were, for the most part, on the healthy side. (This was important to me, too... I've been careful with what my 14 month old son eats so far - no overly processed foods, etc. He hasn't even had chocolate yet.)

The book has practical, easy recipes using stuff I usually have around the house anyway. I'd been stuck in a rut, feeding my son the same stuff everyday. The Quick Meals book gave me a lot of new ideas... For example, there's a "fun with tortillas" page and "parmesan chicken nuggets" (which aren't fried but are baked), and "basil broccoli and mushrooms" (made with frozen broccoli.)

In short, this book gave me a lot of new ideas, none of the recipes take long to prepare, and I usually already have the ingredients for something from the book at any given time. Most importantly though, my son has enjoyed everything I've made so far!

Summary: Not a great book
Comment: I bought this after reading the reviews here. I was looking for quick meals for families. I own many cookbooks. This was not worth the money.

One thing that really bothered me was one of the soup recipes starts with using a can of soup. I don't care for cookbooks that use canned soup to start a soup recipe. Why bother!

I think betty crocker offers better cookbooks for the money.
