This is probably my favorite cookbook for freezer cooking! I like that instead of necessarily setting aside one big day for prepping meals that I can just double, triple, etc. the recipes as a make a meal for that night. It has all the measurements for increased quantities already figured out. This would be a great book to use with a cooking co-op!

Oh!!! And the recipes are delicious!! Personal favorites are the Elegant Chicken and the Caesar Chicken Marinade!!

Possibly a good book for someone who has never quilted before, but anyone with any quilting experience will be disappointed with this book.

My young son really enjoyed the larger than life photographs in this book. Any child fascinated with insects will be delighted.

This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks! I love that the recipes are not complicated, are full of flavor, and are lacking ingredients that I don't wish to consume.

I'm really enjoying this series of books! I like that there's some romance without being "too much."

Lonely Planet Malawi, Mozambique & Zambia (Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia)
Review Date: 7/22/2011


I don't know who recommended that I purchase this book prior to moving to Lilongwe, Malawi, but I wish I could thank them now. This book led us to see the most interesting places -- many that people who had lived in the country for 20 years didn't even know about!! What a great find!

I am enjoying all the books in the Benni Harper series, but I liked that this one had a different sort of mystery compared to the books before it in the series. Thumbs up!

If you are comfortable with paper piecing, this book yields a great way to create a wide variety of paper pieced animals. They turn out really well! I was fairly new to quilting and managed to produce a nice looking wall hanging.


Spectacular Scraps: A Simple Approach to Stunning Quilts
Review Date: 2/9/2013


This book might have great appeal to someone who enjoys playing with colors, but it is essentially a book with a variety of placements for half square triangles. I like more patterns than just half square triangles.
