My mother picked this up at the store and I thought it was so clever that I "stole" it from her. There are 100 fun menus with everything already planned out - even includes grocery lists. Plus, the recipes are all simple and quick to fix. No this is not gourmet cuisine, but in today's often chaotic and fast paced lifestyles it works for busy families to share some quality time over meals. With three little kids I know I personally appreciate that it takes the guess work out of what do I serve because its already spelled out in a simple to follow approach.
