some cookbook listings I have found recently

[Guest guest]

Let me know if you have tried these what you thought

these are direct excepts from the listings I saw

____________-

The Pampered Chef has a great cookbook for working moms with lots of great

30 minutes and under recipes. There are pictures and a pantry and shopping

list. It is really worth checking into.Contact me for more info.

I am a cookbook junkie - I especially like the

free/inexpensive ones you get from products or at the

supermarket check stand. If it's less than $5, and I get

even one recipe out of it, I feel justified.

 

The best ones are the " Quick and Healthy " series from

Prevention magazine. They come out quarterly. The recipes

are " regular food " and not super-fancy nouvelle cuisine

(which turns my family off). Very few expensive or

hard-to-find ingredients. A fair selection of vegetarian

meals, too.

 

One I got from the library and really liked was _The

15-minute Vegetarian Gourmet_. When this woman says

" 15-minutes " , that includes chopping/slicing as well as

cooking. In *and* out of the kitchen in 15 minutes! It's

an older book, though so you have to have soem fat-cutting

know-how.

this next one uses meat...but you can substitute any meat substitute and

many types of vegtables such as egplant or apple would be very good >

One of my families favorite quick meals we call Hobo

Dinners. They are simple to prepare and there is nothing to

clean up.

 

Make one large hamburger pattie for each person

Peel enough potatoes for each person to have 1/2 of a potato

(quarter potatoes)

Peel and slice one large onion

Use a package of fresh baby carrots.

Tear off a square of foil large enough to accomodate each

hamburger pattie, and the veggies.(one piece of foil per

person)

Place hamburger on the bottom, then layer potatoes, carrots,

onion, on top. Season well with salt and pepper. Close foil

to make a tight package. Bake at 350 degrees about 1 hour.

Unfold,put meal on plate and enjoy!

I've just found a cookbook that's full of quick and easy

recipes. It's called " Athlete's Kitchen " and is written by

Nancy Clark. The book is written for athletes who wish to

improve their diet. However, it seems as if the meals are

applicable to everyone.

 

I'm just starting to try out the recipes. I'll let you know

how it goes!
