Rosenstrach wants you to make dinner. Like, every night. But she's funny and witty without being sickening, so it's OK. She presents 30 days of relatively simple meal plans with recipes, but the bulk of the book is about how to change your routines and mindset to make that happen. Mostly she reminds you of things you already know, such as how much simpler you can make your week by roasting and shredding a couple of pounds of chicken breast on Sunday. Or that a hungry house at 6pm is a little less terrifying if you've taken 15 minutes to prep in the morning. The recipes are easy to follow and those I've tried were tasty, especially the crock pot spareribs and the fabulous and truly easy chicken noodle soup.
The negatives: Rosenstrach refers to recipes that she's published in other books - who needs that when you're in a hurry? And the index is quite feeble. I knew there was a recipe for spareribs in there but couldn't find it under pork, ribs, or spareribs.
