Cookbook rec: The food nanny - rescues dinner.

MrsStubbs

I know I've mentioned this book before but, I was able to see her in person last nigh when she gave a presentation to my church. She is so amazing and fun. Everything she says about cooking dinner everynight makes sense: keeping the family together, teaching your children. (just like that stoffers commercial about kids getting better grade and talking to their parents)

She basically has a theme for every night of the week.

Monday - Comfort food

Tuesady - Italian

Wed - Meatless/Fish Breakfast

Thurs - Mexican

Friday - Pizza

Sat - Grill - hamburgers hotdogs

Sunday - Traditions like roast beef and potatos.

You plan for two weeks at a time and can use any recipes. The ones in her book are great because they are easy to make and taste great. You can save so much money by cooking homemade over time. It does cost more at first of you don't already cook because you have to buy alot of the basic stuff.

I hope this helps someone.

The theme nights are a great idea! Part of my problem with meal planning is I don't even know where to start! I'm definitely saving this to start working on it (yet again) and hopefully using it.
