Book Review and Giveaway:
Once a Month Cooking, Family Favorites



Moderator Review: Once-A-Month Cooking, Family Favorites by Mary Beth Lagerborg and Mimi Wilson
This is a very interesting concept for a book! It's perfect for today's society and economy. This book actually is a step-by-step guide on how to shop, prepare, and freeze affordable meals for your family. It saves you time and money. In theory, you could take one day, shop, and prepare meals, and be set for the entire month! The book offers two, "one month cycle" options to give you some variety. However if that seems too overwhelming, there are also two, "two week cycles." for you to try out.

The book itself has very basic, family friendly, cost-effect meals. You don't have to worry about ingredients that you can't pronounce or won't be able to find in the regular grocery store. What impressed me the most, is that there is actually a "Gluten-Free" section of this book. I thought that was very innovative and thoughtful towards the population who is allergic to gluten.

If you are someone who loves to cook, a "pro" in the kitchen, and always looking for new recipes, the only section of this book that will interest you, is the "gourmet section." However, if you are someone who needs a cookbook to "jump-start" your interest in cooking basic, healthy, meals for your family, well this book is for you! It's also for the busy mom who hates resorting to fast-food and wants to pre-prepare her own meals for her family. -- Moderator Annie's Mom
