Aimed at busy people and working parents who want to maintain a traditional dinner hour or simply have some time at day's end, it removes the stress of meal planning, menu building and compiling a shopping list. All the reader needs to do is copy, download or pull up, any weekly shopping list in the book, check their supplies to cross off any duplications or any ingredients for a meal they don't need or want, and head to the store. That week's menus are taken care of. Imagine if you always had an answer ready when asked;"What's for dinner?" The entrees that are able to be made ahead and frozen are indicated along with re-heating instructions. With a couple of these dinners in the freezer, running late isn't a problem nor are surprise guests. The book contains three months, or twelve weeks of menus. Each has a recipe for poultry, pork, beef, seafood, an ethnic dish, a casserole and a fun, casual dish. The weeks are balanced into the months and the months into the quarter. One could start at the beginning, go to the end and start over-or dive into Volume II which is almost finished. SOME COMMENTS FROM READERS: I love this book. With a full-time job and two children, meal planning was a real hassle. Now I copy the list and stop at the market on my way home Friday evening. Shopping is quick with everything given in exact quantities. Leigh M. I like knowing that I have all I need to make dinners for the week and don't have to run out for something I forgot. It's relaxing. Ruth G. These recipes are really easy and taste great. Joan T. IF You Want to Make Your Meal Planning a Snap Scroll to the top of the page and click the BUY NOW button"
