this is a link to a new book that is a great resource! I, unfortunately, am no longer a "twentysomething", but am happy to encourage others to get it too! You see, one of the authors of this book was nice enough to share her "babies" with me many years ago... I was their sitter when I was away at college! I grew very close to the MacDonald family! Randy would have dinner prepared for me to warm and feed the kids when they got home from school...pantry and refrigerator always stocked! (can you tell she had a little of an influence on me!) I am hoping to instill the desire to eat at home in my kids that this book promotes! Get a copy and cook!
