The Busy Family Cookbook - by the editors of Taste of Home, (Readers’s Digest) This handy cookbook designed to save time is organized into 10-minute recipes, 20-minute, 30- and 60-minute meals. Speedy ones come first. We appreciate the variety of meal options, including veggie entrees, and the simple way the authors list ingredients and prep steps. Very convenient when there’s little time to cook!
How To Cheat at Organizing - by Jeff Bredenberg (The Taunton Press) We like the author’s advice to “Celebrate getting rid of stuff instead of acquiring.” Bredenberg offers doable tips on organizing just about everything: the living room, the medicine cabinet, the car… But he does it with a sense of humor, reminding us that the Queen of England is actually not coming for tea, encouraging us to be gentle with ourselves as we set new lifestyle goals.
