Most include lots of fresh Veggies and taste just as delicous if you sub the butter used for sauteing for a bit of healthy oil. I made the pasta dishes a bit heart healthy by using whole wheat pasta (costs a bit more unless bought in bulk) or brown rice. I even made the Egg Nog recipe for my diabetic hubby with non-fat milk Sugar Free Pudding and Splenda...Him and my kids loved it. The recipes rock in this book My family is eating more vegetables that ever and I'm saving money! I have made quite a few recipes in this book.

So many grocery budget books and sites from the US rely on couponing, which we don't have here... Will this be applicable world-wide?

Congrats - I'm planning to pre-order a bunch. I'm so amazed at all you accomplish. I love you! BTW, I just made a big batch of baked apple donuts which came to the airport for the Sophie farewell. Made the event a little more tolerable. What a great review for your cookbook, Mary! Congrats – I’m planning to pre-order a bunch. I’m so amazed at all you accomplish. I love you!

I have been living out of the country but recently returned home to the US. I took "The Sane Woman's Guide to Raising a Large Family" on our family camping trip this weekend and I read it cover to cover. You had me nodding my head in agreement, laughing out loud, and reading passages aloud to my family around the campfire. Thank you for the great book and the fun blog. I cannot wait to see the cookbook. Mary, I have been following your blog for several months and I ordered your book as soon as I could on Amazon.

I'm one that will check a cookbook out from the library so I can 'test' it for a few weeks before I purchase it. I'm sure this one will end up in my permanent collection. Can't wait to read it.
