The authors, who helped us get dinner on the table in 20 minutes or less and showed us how to give stress-free parties, now help us feed our families well for less money. Beverly and Alicia are mealtime problem solvers. This time they turn their attention to preparing inviting breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that don't wreak havoc on the family budget. Over 275 recipes for flavorful everyday entrees, soups and stews, skillet meals, pastas, salads and side dishes, and desserts; plus a full chapter on breakfasts and another on how to save money and time by cooking in big batches. All dishes are unrecognizable; they're just yummy and worthy of second helpings.
