This book is not what I expected at all, I am going to return it ASAP. All the recipes are for four servings and not easy to break down at all. There was no indication in the title or the review that it was for four servings on every recipe. Definitely not good for a single person. Maybe I’ll have better luck next time. There is also no mention of Ms. Hughes credits either. :

These recipes for the most part have items you would already have at home. They are simple and very good. My husband and I have enjoyed everything we have cooked. To me, this is a must have if you are trying to either lose weight or just trying to stay healthy. I wish she had more that I could find.

I Bought this Book to eliminate the guess work out of what My Meals calorie counts were. EVERY recipie Has 4 Servings.!! So You have to Quarter every ingrediant, to make a Meal for One Person Or 1/2 It to make a Meal for Two. No Pictures at all either, which Make it Non exciting to me. I did not want to have get out my calculator, and figure it out.. to get a Meal for One. Plus every recipie is a BIG Production.. not going to eat FAST, either. Shopping, caluculating, etc all too much for a such a simple cookbook. Plus doesnt give serving sizes either and no sodium counts.! So if your into measuring, and shopping, and spending a Lot time in Kitchen.. this Books for You. If not- LOOK ELSEWHERE. This is Going on ebay to get some of My Money Back!

Great selection of food choices and easy directions to follow. So far, the recipes have been very tasty…my family has enjoyed the variety of meal plans. Have been recommending this cookbook to co-workers & friends.

Don’t buy this unless you have a lot of time available for meal prep and are okay with 15+ ingredients per recipe. Also, the nutritional info is skimpier than what’s provided by some cookbooks; she gives you the calorie and fat-gram counts, but that’s it – no saturated fat, trans fat, or sodium numbers. That said, there are some good 100-calorie dessert recipes, and a few of the others worked for me too. I guess I got my money’s worth, but the cover says “Quick and Easy Recipes,” and that they are not.
