Great Cooking
 
More-With-Less
cookbook (25th Anniversary edition)
by Doris Janzen Longacre
When I first started cooking, I wanted easy recipes. I soon learned that most of the cookbooks that claimed to be quick and easy gave recipes that were mostly made up of processed foods (sauces, cream-of-whatever soups, etc.). So then I tried "health food" cookbooks, which were filled with obscure, expensive ingredients. Then I discovered the More-with-Less Cookbook.
This cookbook is about improving nutrition, saving money, and using less of the world's resources. It provides a good variety of recipes from around the world. The recipes use basic ingredients and are easy to follow. "Time-Saving" recipes are noted for busy cooks. (Tip: get the spiral-bound (or "plastic comb") edition.)
 
Simply In Season
cookbook
by Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert
How to use local, seasonal food to create meals that are good for you and the environment. (Tip: get the spiral-bound (or "plastic comb") edition.)

Life Balance
The Mother Load by Mary Byers is all about how to meet your own needs while caring for your family. Mary shares valuable Christian insight on the importance of solitude, friendship, balance, health, order, intimacy, spiritual and personal growth, self-forgiveness, laughter, and getting help.
For those of us who struggle with feelings of selfishness and guilt when we take time for ourselves, Mary offers encouraging advice on refreshing ourselves so that we can be more effective moms. She also emphasizes the significance of modeling positive self-care and teaching responsibility to your children. Mary combines personal stories, scripture, research, and practical ideas (I love that—give me the how-to’s and I’m happy) to create a resource book to which I will refer often.
At the end of each chapter, Mary includes a chapter summary along with group discussion questions, personal reflection questions, and quotes from real moms. I just sent Mary an e-mail, telling her how much I wished she lived on my block! I hope to meet her in person some day and give her a big “thank-you” hug.
For more information, visit http://www.themotherload.net where you can learn more about the book and subscribe to Mary’s free “Lightening the Load” e-zine.
