Ah, you totally had me at “tasty and hasty”. This is going on my list to get hold of!
It’s available on Amazon, Pauline, so hopefully you’ll be able to get a copy. It really is a great book, particularly when you are trying to eat healthily while away from home.
That looks like a wonderful cookbook. I definitely need to be inspired by healthy recipes and ideas. Sounds like a great book to check out, especially when my meal ideas are in a rut!
There really is lots of inspiration, Marysa!
I always love the idea of minimizing waste. Those apple crackers sound amazing too!
Me too, Denise. The apple crackers really are delicious!
Wow… those crackers would be a great after school snack too. My daughters are always looking for something different. I know it says office… but I’m always looking for easy lol
This was what I felt too, Kristi, that the book was really appropriate for more than just folks who work in an office 🙂 Easy is always good!
This is great for college kids as well! We have a group of friends going away next year, and they could do this! In my day there were only hot plates, I can’t imagine having been able to have a microwave in the dorms!
It really is, Mitch! This would be a great book for anyone heading off to college.
Everything looks so yummy! It is making me real hungry! I need to get the book on Amazon.
It really is a great resource, Jacqui!
