 AWESOME BOOK!!! September 4, 2010
Primitive Mom (Allentown, PA USA)
I orginally purchased this book while on vacation. When I returned home, my daughter loved it so much that I gave it to her and ordered another one for myself on Amazon.
This book is a real page turner. You'll be amazed to learn that all of the foods you thought were healthy choices are not. It's a wealth of information all tucked into one book. Also, the recipes are quick & easy to do.
You won't be sorry buying this one.

Not that great-The other books in this series are much better. If you want to see a bunch of recipes for lighter versions of recipes you probably never order when you are out-then you'll like it.
love it! August 23, 2010

Although I like the book's comparison of products at the beginning, I found that the author did not carry that through the book. No recipe gives you the amount of fiber or carbohydrates. Additionally, most oof the main meals don't pair a vegetable(s) with the dish, so the amount of calories is somewhat misleading, unless you are just having the main dish. And does anyone really count Mac and Cheese as a main course? And what about the hot dogs? The recipe doesn't even call for kosher hot dogs so at least you would know you were getting all beef, and not a lot of parts from different animals. I can't remember the last time I served hot dogs as my main course. Maybe when my daughter was five.
The only recipes that pair a vegetable with it are the pasta dishes, Pesto Gnocchi and Loaded Alfredo. True, the Shrimp and Grits, the Salmonh have asparagus and mushrooms, but it still seems inadequate. I can't help but wonder with all the bacon, eggs, and beef, how heart healthy these dishes are.
Further, more time seems to be devoted to snacks and appetizers than to dinner. The side dishes are woefully inadequate. There are only 11 recipes, and many of them my child won't eat. Where is a recipe for broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, or a simple side salad? In fact, I don't really count chips or baked beans as an adequate vegetable for dinner. Even potato salad seems to be more for lunch or a barbecue than a regular dinner. As for lunch, I think nine of the 13 have hamburger, bacon, lamb or beef and about half are some type of beef burger including the meatloaf sandwich, the patty melt and the cheesestek sandwich.
I think the breakfast is the best part of the book, which is why I gave it three stars.
very very nice! August 10, 2010

This book is also good for a cooking novice like me! I am usually a type of person that eats out all the time, and eating out has caused me to increase weight. I am starting tomorrow with hearb roast chicken recipe that looks so simple to make. There are plenty of recipes from slow cooker to super fast meals. And I love the motivational beginning. I already made a meal plan for the rest of the week. The foods are definitely all family friendly that everyone can enjoy.
