Why I love it? The recipes are simple (mostly). They don't require a huge list of ingredients. There are often variations after the recipe, so you can easily use what you happen to have in the pancake and luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127916738326467420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26591767.post-32610664952833178012008-10-19T22:27:00.000-07:002008-10-19T22:27:00.000-07:00I'm a little behind, and just listened to episode ...I'm a little behind, and just listened to episode 101 today. Once you started describing the kind of cookbook you're looking for, I immediately thought of one of my favorites, the "More with Less" cookbook.

One I find myself pulling off the shelf regularly is my Fannie Farmer cookbook. It's full of staple recipes and each section has recipes which use leftovers. I bought it originally for the oatmeal raisin cookie recipe, and wore out my softcover version!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182829051583655203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26591767.post-25781056433516800782008-07-10T09:07:00.000-07:002008-07-10T09:07:00.000-07:00I adore Mark Bittman - the Minimalist from the Tim...I adore Mark Bittman - the Minimalist from the Times. HTCE in the World really expanded my cooking horizons, but the Minimalist Cooks Dinner is a great resource. He seems to be all about improv in the kitchen, and the Dinner book has recipes and many suggestions for variations based on what sounds good and what's in the cupboard.abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326628394800532476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26591767.post-70523210713599685872008-07-09T17:05:00.000-07:002008-07-09T17:05:00.000-07:00Here is a show on foodnetwork that may be helpful ...Here is a show on foodnetwork that may be helpful for healthy, quick, smart meals...<BR/><BR/>http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_rm/0,2757,FOOD_23676,00.html<BR/><BR/>She also has a book out<BR/><BR/>http://www.foodnetworkstore.com/p-625074-Robin-to-the-Rescue.aspx<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!<BR/><BR/>SonseraeSonseraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996502816376004021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26591767.post-62808280653096846112008-07-09T07:24:00.000-07:002008-07-09T07:24:00.000-07:00Here is a link to Intuitive Cooking; it is all my ...Here is a link to Intuitive Cooking; it is all my husband's recipies which he makes...easy and good and NO MUSHROOM SOUP or VELVEETA!!!<BR/><BR/>He writes a blog, and these 27recipes are under his link for his personally crafted, easy recipes.

I think in *girls'* novels, teachers are much more positively portrayed, perhaps because it was one of the only career paths open to them and it wouldn't be a good idea to show them that they were entering a low status profession any more Aiglethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214292050447075090noreply@blogger.com
