A big help for a big family - C. Purvis - Alabama, United States
This book is such a help to me in the kitchen. I now prepare my chicken in the slow cooker and then measure out individual packages to freeze for use in recipes later. I also freeze the chicken broth left over. My family is so enjoying the recipes in this book. Many of them call for the same ingredients, so it is so easy to chop and dice a little extra and keep for the next meal. Some of the recipes are easy enough my 12 year old son can even prepare for the family dinner. This is a must for any Mom who wants to save money on eating out & also save time in the kitchen preparing meals. I started reading this book the day I got it and finished it the same night. I am so looking forward to trying all the recipes. Very good buy! You will save enough money at the grocery store that the book pays for itself... AWESOME!
