I love how 30 Day Gourmet cooking simplifies my life and reduces the lunch and dinner rush. We don't order out as often so we are saving money and eating healthier food!

I just love your cooking manual! It has been one of the best things that I have bought. It really does save me a lot of time and money on meals. My family and I don't eat as many fast food meals because I now have my own fast food meals! I work full time so it is nice to come home to good, home-cooked meals that do not take a lot of time to prepare because one day each month, I pre-prepare the meal. Thanks. This has really made life a lot easier for me!

A friend and I just finished our second cooking day. I was used to a small grocery budget and was glad to find that I could cook this way and still keep the costs down. In fact, now that I use your cookbook I don't have to "skimp" on great meals! I'm spending less than $100 a month to feed dinner entrees to my family of 6. Thanks!

This cookbook is the best money I have ever invested!

Last week I made 35 main dishes for just $200! I am so thrilled with all of the food in my freezer that I just had to write and thank you. I wasn't really even trying to save! We spend at least that much going out to dinner only 8 times!

I've been using 30 Day Gourmet for about two years. I recently compared my household budget from '97 to '98. What a surprise! I had cut our groceryspending by almost $1000!!!! I have 3 sons (a 9 year old and 3 year old twins) so their eating habits aren't getting any lighter. Thanks for the wonderful idea!

Most of my friends thought I was nuts trying to cook for a month or more in advance, but they have changed their minds when they saw how well we are eating. We have saved hundreds of dollars as well. Thank you for sharing this great idea.

This system is fantastic! The charts and organization is the best ever! The recipes are ones that my husband, five kids and myself have enjoyed. Now I have more time for all of their activities without the worry of what's for dinner.

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.

Your Freezer Cooking Manual is now my most used cookbook. My toddler has food allergies and it is hard to find recipes for him. In fact, for a long time, your apple bars and granola bars were the only snack foods he would eat. Since I have to make all of his foods from scratch, it's nice to make a lot at once and put them in the freezer. Even without those recipes, the cookbook would still be a bargain. I saved AT LEAST the price of the cookbook in the first month by buying and cooking in bulk and that doesn't even take into consideration all the times I've been tempted to go out to a restaurant but didn't because dinner was already in the freezer.

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.
