Have you ever found a recipe that sounded good that you decided try? So you start reading the requirements and find that you don’t have the right spices or the right pan. So you run out and buy the spices and they then sit on your shelf until they become old and eventually thrown out. Or a pan that is never used again or you don’t have space to store it. Or find out that it takes longer to make the recipe than to eat it. Companies spend millions of dollars developing products for the market place that are healthy and available to everyone. The products are very generic because they have to appeal to a wide range of customer tastes. So why not take advantage of all their expertise and just enhance or spruce up the products with more flavor and unique tastes. I have developed recipes that use the common spices found in a kitchen as well as products purchased in the grocery store. Using the right combinations you are able to develop delicious and nutritious meals for your family without spending a lot of time in the kitchen and without breaking your pocket book to purchase the ingredients. The recipes in this book will provide healthy meals for your family using what you already have in your kitchen. At the same time they are easy and quick to make, thus allow you more time to spend with you family and friends and away from the kitchen. Each recipe also gives you a little history. For example, did you know that during World War II when sugar was rationed that people used carrot juice as a sweetener? Try the mashed cauliflower, made with cauliflower and carrot juice as an example. Whatever your reason, these recipes are simple to make, do not take a lot of time, and provide a healthy benefit to your family.
