This cookbook has a really great variety of family friendly recipes that won't kill your budget. The ingredients are basic, and the preparation is easy. There is a great variety of flavors - Italian, Mexican are included along with basics like Vegetable Bean Soup. Some of the recipes are quick soup-and-sandwich meals for nights when there's a time-crunch, other recipes can be cooked ahead or in a crockpot all day. The main thing is that this is FAMILY food - heavy on elbow macaroni and noodles - but someone who wants to branch out into other ingredients could use any of these recipes to do so. Great Cookbook!! Oh, and the Mac and Cheese with Bacon is a definite to-try!! One last thing: the book has a hot-link TOC which makes it REALLY easy to use - I love linked TOCs!!
