My friend and I are having a great time with this. Our husbands are proud of us and our kids aren't hungry anymore. We're not running through the drive-thru or making a meal out of soccer field food. Thank you for inspiring us!  It's well worth it and we're hooked.

The best part about 30 Day Gourmet cooking is how much my husband brags about our full freezer to all of our friends. As a working mom, this has been a godsend. My kids love the recipes.

You gals have saved my life! I am the mother of 4 children ages 6,4,4,2 and a wife of a husband that works long hours. The 30 Day Gourmet plan has made my dinner hour as pleasant as can be expected with 4 small children. Thank you, thank you!!

Although we are a small family, I was glad to see that is not a problem because your system isn't just geared to "large" families. This is a true FAMILY cookbook. Thank you for easy to follow instructions and ingredients I can pronounce.

I just wanted to tell you how much my husband and I have enjoyed our two cooking days. We plan on having many more! Having food ready to go was especially helpful to us during the holidays when our son had surgery on December 23rd. We are telling everyone we know how much time and money we have saved, and how good your recipes are. Thank you for putting your thoughts on organizing a cooking day down on paper for others to benefit too!

I really enjoy using your cookbook. Having two small children and working a full-time job, it has made my life a LOT easier. I also love your website. It's great to get new recipes and hear everyone else's cooking stories and tips.

I bought my wife your Freezer Cooking Manual for her birthday and within a week our freezer was full. Not only does it save her time cooking, but since it's my job to clean up after dinner, having most of the cooking done ahead of time means I'm finished quicker, too. And that means more time to play with our 10 month old son!

My 18 year old son and I made several meals for him to put in single serving sizes and take to his college apartment. He finds this to be a quick and easy way to have home-cooked meals.

I absolutely cannot imagine going back to the daily grind of figuring out what to serve at dinnertime. It has greatly improved the quality of meals my family eats and has improved the atmosphere at my home between those hours of 4-6 p.m. My friend, Karen, is a joy to cook with and has inspired us to cook about 100 meals each time so we are cooking for about 2-3 months each time. Thanks again for your fun seminar and the great cooking manual!

I purchased your cookbook while I was home on maternity leave. My daughter is now 7 months old. I was going crazy every night trying to feed her, the dog, my husband and me. I finally pulled out you book and got 3 weeks worth of dinners in the freezer! I feel like the weight of the world is off my shoulders. Now I can spend more time relaxing at night. Thanks so much!

I have to tell you how grateful I am to have discovered your book. You've made a major difference in the evening stress level in my house! I can come home, pop supper in the oven, help the kids with piano and homework and we can still eat a great meal together.

Well, we did it. We had our first cooking day! It was a blast. We both agreed that it was hard work but we will do it again and again. We enjoyed the chance to visit and laugh without having the kids interrupt us constantly. But instead of just going out to lunch and wasting a couple of hours so that we could visit and have some quiet time, we stayed home and cooked. We finished the day with 41 meals each and a huge sense of accomplishment and joy knowing that for the next 6 weeks we wouldn't have to worry about dinner. Thanks to both of you so much for showing us this fun way to make our lives easier. And to our delight and surprise our families have loved EVERY recipe. Thanks, too, for the additional recipes on your website. It's great to buy a cookbook and continue to get recipes and support. Thanks again from two moms with more time on their hands.

When my best friend from college had her first baby last summer, I made plans to fly to see her in the fall just before she would return to work. I decided to give her meals in her freezer for a baby gift instead of more clothes, thereby giving her peace of mind about dinner when she goes back to work and more time with her baby on those crazy days of balancing it all! When I left, she had 18 main dishes in her freezer and told me that she wanted the same thing for Christmas. I think I'll send her one of your cookbooks instead - it's cheaper than a plane ticket! Thank you for helping me give one of the best presents I have even given. You two are great!

You just can't imagine how much you've changed my life. Cooking for a family of 5 is no longer a burden but a joy. I have started using your cookbook recipes for gifts also. When I have friends who are sick or just had a baby, I freeze a week's worth of meals and give it to them. They love not having the extra cooking duty and I just include the extra meals in my monthly freezing. Thank you so much!
