Aimed at busy people and working parents who want to maintain a traditional dinner hour or simply have some time at day's end, it removes the stress of meal planning, menu building and compiling a shopping list. All the reader needs to do is copy, download or pull up, any weekly shopping list in the book, check their supplies to cross off any duplications or any ingredients for a meal they don't need or want, and head to the store. That week's menus are taken care of. Imagine if you always had an answer ready when asked;"What's for dinner?" The entrees that are able to be made ahead and frozen are indicated along with re-heating instructions. With a couple of these dinners in the freezer, running late isn't a problem nor are surprise guests. The book contains three months, or twelve weeks of menus. Each has a recipe for poultry, pork, beef, seafood, an ethnic dish, a casserole and a fun, casual dish. The weeks are balanced into the months and the months into the quarter. One could start at the beginning, go to the end and start over-or dive into Volume II which is almost finished. SOME COMMENTS FROM READERS: I love this book. With a full-time job and two children, meal planning was a real hassle. Now I copy the list and stop at the market on my way home Friday evening. Shopping is quick with everything given in exact quantities. Leigh M. I like knowing that I have all I need to make dinners for the week and don't have to run out for something I forgot. It's relaxing. Ruth G. These recipes are really easy and taste great. Joan T.

Years in Italy doing graduate work, provided an opportunity to explore regional dishes in that country and others in Europe, and transformed her interest in food into cooking as an active, lifelong hobby. In 1999, facing an "empty nest" and frustrated by the absence of people to cook for, she trained and joined The United States Personal Chef Association, then opened Suddenly Supper, her own chef service. Joy admires people, especially parents, who are focused on their career while trying to maintain a traditional home environment. She wrote Dinners With Joy hoping to help them by making all aspects of the evening meal preparation stress free. In her book she makes a promise to; "Never allow her readers to feel lost, either in the market or in the kitchen." by providing primers on shopping for meat, poultry and seafood, as well as the making and uses of gravies and sauces, balanced weekly menus, easy daily recipes, weekly shopping lists, cooking tips and free download of a collection of charts and graphs to answer questions, illustrate directions and offer cost cutting substitutions. The current economy has inspired her to fulfill her promise even further by drawing on her own experience to research and devise a plan she named Diet for the Food Dollar, to help people cope with the rising cost of groceries, by guiding them through different food shopping venues and providing them with budgeting tools to make their shopping experience easier, cut costs and keep them lower. Her blog, Kitchen $centse provides information and recipes which are useful in themselves, but gain even more value when added to that in Diet for the Food Dollar.
