I really loved this book! I not only enjoyed the peek into the author's family life, I really enjoyed all the recipes! I've tried several from this dollar store find and all have been praised by the family. I have many more to try and I'm excited to continue. I'm so happy I plucked this book from obscurity on the Dollar Tree shelf and added it to a cherished place on my bookshelf. We've become fast friends and I'll be looking for other works by Emily Franklin. :-)XXOO~Hope I want to own this book and try all the recipes with my family. I haven't read a cookbook/memoir that had so many recipes that seemed absolutely realistic to try and serve. My favorite part is that she introduced her kids to a huge variety of vegetables and cuisines, but from her description of the recipes, it didn't sound like it was a huge waste of time if the kids weren't excited about it. Which is usually my problem, I feel like I spend way too much time preparing meals that no one except Robert or I will eat. I also loved seeing how she involved her kids in her cooking. Doing real things. I got the impression that the "mess" of cooking with kids didn't bother her as much as it bothers me, but that's something I can work on. I just enjoyed the book and felt hungry for her meals. Loved it.
Took a while to read because it was a little slow. Wish I had a chance to try some of the recipes
