Dining On A Dime Is Realistic!

We Noticed Something was
VERY WRONG
with most cookbooks

If you’re someone who’s been looking for healthy recipes that are inexpensive and if you
have used a variety of different frugal cookbooks to save, then you very likely know by
now that those cookbooks don’t really work.

Why don’t they work? What is it about them that makes it so difficult to cook healthy,
delicious AND inexpensive meals?

The Dining On A Dime Cookbook Succeeds Where Other

Cookbooks Fail

Solution #1
2/16
Dining On A Dime recipes have all been designed with
inexpensive and easy to find ingredients.
We hate it when we have to find exotic ingredients that nobody has ever heard
of… (and we know you do, too), so we took extra care to include only “realistic”
ingredients that you can find even in the smallest grocery stores. We want you to
be able to make quick meals with items you already have on hand or that you
can easily get.

An added bonus is that you won’t have to waste time clipping coupons and
matching ads to save money on your grocery bill, so you can put time back into
your busy days.

Solution #2

Dining On A Dime is full of truly quick and easy recipes.

Most of the recipes take less than 10 minutes of “hands on” work to prepare and,
though you will quickly discover your family’s favorite recipes, there are 22 menu
ideas to get you started or help you get dinner on the table when you’re tired
and don’t want to have to stress about it. Most of the main dishes can be made
ahead and frozen for days when you expect to be short of time and just need to
throw something healthy in the oven. No matter how you use the cookbook, you
can enjoy spending more time with your family instead of stressing over dinner.

The cookbook is easy for beginning cooks to understand and also includes new
ideas and time tested recipes for skilled cooks. Many recipes are for things that
you can make at home that you never thought of and you don’t have to run out
to the store every time you run out of an ingredient when you use our easy
substitutions list.

Solution #3

3/16
Dining On A Dime is packed with recipes your family will
ACTUALLY EAT.
You’ll be preparing warm, home cooked meals from scratch and healthy, fresh
snacks and lunches for your family, even on a tight budget. When you spend less
time cooking and you make foods your family loves, they’ll be happy to come to
dinner and you won’t be wasting time making elaborate meals that they won’t
eat. Even your husband will love the food from this cookbook. Dining On A Dime
is the most comprehensive family cookbook available, full of easy time tested
money saving favorites.

What The Pros Are Saying…

“We’ve worked with cookbook authors for 25 years and this is one of the best all
around books we’ve ever seen. There is something here for everyone – the most
amazing item is the author’s list of tips for saving over $10,000 in one year –
without clipping coupons or depriving your family of nutritious food.

She’s an savvy shopper, a practiced cook, a clever house keeper and a creative
mother who knows how to entertain her kids while teaching them excellent life
skills. The price of this book will be recovered with one trip to the
supermarket.

Using just a few of her ideas will make a huge impact on anyone’s shrinking
budget and put time back into busy days. There is an index of recipes, another
index of tips, and a third index for using leftovers. Creative, entertaining, well
researched and practical – this is a book you will use every day.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Dining On A Dime Cookbook and how will it

help me save more money?
A: The Dining On A Dime Cookbook has been designed with the best money saving
recipes in mind. Rather than using cardboard tasting, “beans and rice” cheap foods that
leave you wanting more, we’re using time tested recipes that have you eating satisfying,
delicious meals.

Many people are looking for ways to cut back on their food budgets. When you use
Dining On A Dime, you’ll spend much less each month on food than you did before,
without sacrificing good nutrition. You won’t be eating out because you and your family
will look forward to these meals and you’ll save because all of the ingredients are so cost
effective.

We’ve also included hundreds of money saving tips to give you new ideas and ways to
cut your grocery bill.

Q: Will my family REALLY eat these recipes?

A: You better believe it! So many people struggle to find recipes their families will really
eat but, for you, the search is over! Most recipes in magazines and home and garden
cooking shows aren’t geared toward families, but Dining On A Dime was specifically
created by moms WITH families FOR families. Each recipe in our Dining On A Dime
Cookbook has been tested and re-tested by my family of picky eaters. These recipes are
proven to make tasty dishes that won’t end up in the garbage disposal!

Q: Am I going to have to buy fancy, pre-packaged and hard

to find ingredients to make these recipes?
A: No! I wrote this book while living in a remote part of Idaho when we had to drive 60
miles for groceries and I couldn’t go to the store more often than necessary. I can assure
you that each of the recipes uses commonly found foods that anyone can find at their
local supermarket. You won’t have to spend a lot of money buying ingredients, but you
will be able to make easy, healthy and nutritional meals for your family.

Q: Am I going to have to spend hours in the kitchen every

day?
A: Like you, we are busy and we definitely don’t have time to spend hour after hour
cooking. I’m chronically ill and I have 4 kids so I’m not about to spend 4 hours a day in the
kitchen! We know that every single one of you feels the same way. Life is busy and you
need recipes that can be ready in minutes. When you use the Dining On A Dime
14/16
Cookbook, you’ll be in and out of the kitchen in minutes and have a delicious meal ready
every time. You’ll also find lots of tips and ideas to speed up the cooking process so, if
you’re really short on time, you can still eat at home faster and cheaper than running to
get take out.

Q: I don’t know how to cook. Is Dining On A Dime still for

me?
A: Many people only know how to open a box and press start on the microwave, but
that’s not a problem. Dining On A Dime will guide you and you’ll soon be cooking great
meals like an expert! Dining On A Dime is full of easy to make recipes that you can easily
learn. It’s also a great resource to use to teach your kids how to cook.

You’ll learn simple and fast cooking techniques with step-by-step directions that are
incredibly easy to prepare. One of the most common comments we get from readers is
that they can’t believe just how easy it is to prepare the meals.

Q: Who Would Be Able To Benefit From Dining On A Dime?

Teaching your kids to cook (don’t forget teenagers and grandkids)

Wedding and Bridal Gifts
