Great recipes but it needed to have pictures of some of the dishes instead of illustrations.

I bought this book hoping to help my grandmother recover after congestive heart failure. We tried it for several weeks, especially focusing on fish. Grammie’s literature said she should eat 3 dishes of fish each week. My husband was so tired of fish(so was I, and I found Grammie not even eating with us at those meals), I have quit resorting to the book. We are not big fish people and have not cooked much fish before. This book didn’t help us like fish anymore.
The other recipes in the book that sounded good, had a fat content of 10 grams and more per serving, maybe I am new at this, but that seems high.
The quick portion of the book is not necessarily true. Maybe if you buy prepared spaghetti sauce and add prepared meatballs, as one recipe suggests. She has meal ideas that include several dishes to make the meal although a great idea, I found these to be especially taxing to prepare.
I did enjoy the clam fettucine and the chicken fajitas, but I am searching for a better cookbook for quick and healthy ideas. I hope that I can find one with a similar layout and suggestions, because these were especially nice.

I thought the meals were very healthy and somewhat good, but they were very bland. I tried several meals in the cookbook, but I always ended up adding a little more to spice up the taste. I did like the format and suggestions for Diabetic cooking, but the foods were still lacking in flavor.

Very basic recipes that call for lots of processed foods. I never use this cookbook at all.

Although the title says it “Quick & Healthy”, I found out that most of the ingrediants in a lot of the recipes isn’t something that the average person would have in their home. But there are some great hints for subsituting items.
