Our Thoughts~ 
This is a great book.  I love how it is set up, you first find the first 2 recipes and then you get 2 or more round 2 recipe options.  So you could plan your whole week quickly and easily.  With Sandra Lee's break down of food cost you even know how much per meal, per serving and what additional cost the round two extras are.  In this tougher economy people are thinking up fast and easy ways to save money and one big one is in the grocery department.  With coupons and maximizing your ingredients into a couple recipes you can save a bundle.  Plus, As Sandra Lee shows you eating on pennines doesn't mean you have to skimp in taste and flavor.  Get a copy for yourself today or even as a Holiday GIFT!!!!!
