[Check there now.] Many people who bought this book, bought several to give as bridal shower, Christmas and birthday gifts. "I bought each of my daughters and daughters in law copies of this book when it first came out. Now I need more copies for my granddaugthers but I can only find one at Amazon for $318! Help!" Harriet Suddley The book is officially out of print (and therefore unavailable through local bookstores), but we do offer a CD/booklet combination which contains all 243 pages of the book on CD plus a 40 page booklet including the Substitutions & Equivalent's Guide in its entirety. "I wonder if I don't make your Fried Rice once a week! I love the whole book, but I grab it most often for the Substitutions & Equivalents." Kendra Phelps The entire book is on CD, but the Subs & Equivs Guide was also printed into booklet form for easy kitchen access: No more mid-recipe trips to the grocery store just because you are missing some important ingredient. Marnie has itemized out hundreds of good quality substitutions that are most likely already in your cupboard or fridge. From the introduction...   "Thankfully, the days of slaving for savings are gone: I often arrive in the kitchen less than fifteen minutes before a meal is to be served and actually pull it off. I never waste time on mid-week trips to the grocery store to pick up missing meal components, everything I need is already here. I enjoy savings of up to 80 percent by using small snatches of time to make my own dry mixes and my freezer is full of homemade convenience options that I made with time I was going to spend at the stove anyway. "Every person is different and every family has different needs, but if you read this book, you will find yourself spending less on food -- and less time in the kitchen. You will realize immediate savings by making a few small changes, and you will see your savings continue as you incorporate more of the concepts into your family's routine... "Each of our lives and households are unique, but is seems universal that we all need more time and more money to pursue our individual goals. I've found that it's in the kitchen that great gains can be made in the family's finances and fun time, and I've assembled these shortcuts--tips, hints, strategies, and solutions that have worked for me--to help you achieve all that you want out of life."   "Your book has radically changed how I do food."

Have you ever bought one of those prepackaged coleslaw seasoning packets for $.89? Check out Marnie's amazing dry mix which you can make for 1% of that cost!

In addition, Marnie always teaches you how to batch tasks. For example, when you make this coleslaw recipe for tonight's dinner, you will automatically make up enough for several more meals.

COLESLAW DRY MIX 1-1/3 cups sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon celery salt 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard sprinkle pepper Combine the dry ingredients and store indefinitely in a moistureproof, airtight container at room temperature. USE INSTRUCTIONS: Combine 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons with... 2 tablespoons water 1/2 cup mayonnaise (regular or fat free) 4 cups shredded cabbage Yield: 4 cups

Even if you prefer to use the prepackaged mixes, the Dry Mix Magic chapter will save you so many trips to the store: Taco Seasoning Mix, Broth Mix, Creamy Italian & Ranch Mixes, Bisquit Mix, Gravy Mix, White Sauce Mix, Guacamole Seasoning Mix, Pizza and Spaghetti Mixes, Shake & Bake, Meatloaf, Hot Cocoa Mix and More.

Besides being more convenient and far less expensive, these recipes will save you big-time in the health department. Marnie's Cream of Anything Soup Mix is worth the price of this resource all by itself.

	Small Can Cream of Chicken Soup	Equivalent of Marnie's Version
	330 calories	95 calories
	23.8 fat grams	.2 fat grams
	2,370 grams of sodium	710 grams of sodium

This is not even mentioning the cost differential (about 1/10th the store bought variety) or the fact that you don't have preservatives or cans to recycle. Add to the current motivation the fact that Marnie's recipe enables you to make 9 dry mixes at once... in the same amount of time it would have taken you to open the can, empty the can, delabel the can, wash out the can, crush the can and remove the can to the recycling bin.

"This book has changed my kitchen forever! Marnie's Kitchen Shortcuts is not just another cook book. It is a food management system that oraganizes shopping, storing, and preparing. The strategies are neither complicated nor impractical. They really work! No need to waste time or money at the grocery store or in your own kitchen any more. My favorites in the book are the "make your own" recipes. From cream of mushroom soup to sweet and sour sauce, you no longer have to change your menu when you don't have the canned, store-bought version in your pantry. Marnie's 'make your owns' are easy, taste great, and cost significantly less. Many meals have been rescued at my house just by making use of this one chapter. This is less a book review and more the divulging of a love-affair with this innovative book. The strategies and time and money saving ideas in this book will affect your whole life." Amazon Review
