Leanne Ely

I use this nearly every week. The shipping plan saves me time and most of the recipes are good.

Pretty disappointed. Lots of recipes but they're all pretty similar. Cook protein with a sauce and serve with a starch. Lots of casseroles. Was hopeful that the freezer kits would be helpful but again the recipes are just okay. Plus she uses way too many convenience foods...packaged seasonings, BBQ sauce, corn muffin mix, and on and on.

Keep hoping that one of these books will give recipes using real food for those of us limiting or eliminating processed chemical junk

This book is chockfull of recipes that are quick and easy to make - plus even my picky 10 year old will eat them. The only reason I didn;t give it 5 stars is that I think it could have been printed a little nicer. The ink ran a little when I got one of the pages wet. So just be careful about those splats. Otherwise this is a great cookbook to add to your family's collection.

Leanne Ely has given us a wonderful gift with this book. Not only does it contain lots of great. family friendly recipes - but it is chockful of nutritional advice and lessons. Youc an even get lesson plans to go with it to help teach your children how to eat better. My family has gotten a lot of use out of this cookbook and I highly recommend it to all Moms or Dads who want to instill a little nutritional advice to their children.
