170 recipes, most only taking 30 minutes or less to make, gorgeous illustrations, and nutritional guides make up this extremely useful recipe book.  We all need to up our awareness of what we eat, and you'll not be lost for ideas for your family's meals - healthy meals.  I love frittata and was delighted to see wonderful recipes such as Spinach-Tomato Frittata, Basil-Zucchini-Potato Frittata, and Cheesy Tomato Frittata.  This book features Easy Breakfast Dinners; 20-Minute Meals; Quick Family Favorites; 5-Ingredient Dinners; On-the-Go Dinners, and Grill It!  Some recipes that appealed to me include: Mandarin-Smoked Turkey Salad; Sautéed Parmesan Chicken; Pork and Pineapple Stir-Fry; Easy Chicken Tetrazzini; Crispy Oven-Baked Fish; Spiced Apple Pork Chops; Milanese Beef Grill, and Grilled Marinated Shrimp - all dishes you can whip up for guests and are not too time-consuming for a meal just for yourself.  There's also a great selection of sandwiches - always a hit, especially with either a salad or soup.  There's also informative reading on the benefits of eating healthily, getting more nutrition from what we eat, and fruit and veggies.  Visit the Pillsbury website.  I loved the feel of this book, especially when working in the kitchen.
Conclusion - Fabulously mouthwatering dishes.
