I am a homeschooling Mother of three. I can and freeze as much as I can but have still found myself relying on prepared meals for the quickness of them. My mother had bought this book in 1979 for 5$...she has graciously handed it down to me. I have been able to cut time in the kitchen down while still turning out home made meals. I wanted to see if it was still in print as it would make great gifts for my friends who are all asking to borrow it now!
