Good Cheap Eats Dinner in 30 Minutes (or Less!) is the book to help you save time in the kitchen. With 200 quick and easy recipes, it’s loaded with tips and tricks to help you make the most of your minutes and your kitchen more efficient.

Do you ever find yourself staring into the depths of the fridge, wondering what to make?

Have you ever had it happen that you’re short on time but absolutely have to get the troops fed real fast?

Did you ever wonder if those stories of 30-minutes meals were fairy tales or actual fact?

Well, I’ve got the answer to all those dilemmas: Good Cheap Eats Dinner in 30 Minutes or Less.

I’m a busy mom who’s raised six kids almost to adulthood. Okay, the baby is 11, but my big kid is a bonafide adult.

I know what it is to be busy. I know what it is to have hangry people and precious minutes.

And I know that it is absolutely possible to make supper in half an hour.

I know this because I timed myself.

Good Cheap Eats Dinner in 30 Minutes or Less

GGCE30MM is designed for the busy home cook who doesn’t want to eat crap, spend a lot of money, or take a lot of time.

I mean, Chicken Tikka Masala and Coconut Rice that you can make in half an hour? Sign me up!

Like all my books, this one is made up of recipes that passed muster with one man and six kids of varying ages, personalities, and palates.

This book is all about the quick fix you can afford.

What you’ll get are wholesome, home cooked meals that won’t take much time to prepare. No processed ingredients, just fresh real food that you can cook real quick. Without going broke.

What you won’t get is canned cream of mushroom soup dumped over chicken and sprinkled with crushed nuclear cheeze bits. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

But the point is that you’ll be enjoying affordable, wholesome food in a flash, an upgrade over fast-food or any variety of expensive or unhealthful alternatives.
