Dining On A Dime is a proud winner of the 2006 Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award, the only award program to ever be honored by Disney.com. "Our Family Testers found Dining On A Dime to be an awesome asset to their home library. The recipes are well-written and truly loved by all. It's probably the only realistic cookbook out on the market today that actually helps to save money -- which is so important to families in today's society -- without omitting savory delectable recipes. These two goals are quite hard to accomplish. We get literally hundreds of cookbooks submitted monthly to our team and this is one of the best ever...a true treasure!" -Jodie Lynn, syndicated parenting/health expert, CEO/founder of www.AddingWisdomAward.com, and author of parenting book, Mom CEO.   "Every frugal family should have this book. It is full of tasty recipes and ideas for feeding a family without overspending. It pays for itself in the first few meals!" -Jonni McCoy Author, Miserly Moms and Frugal Families "(Not Just Beans) covers nearly everything any basic modern cooking encyclopedia would, with the addition of lots of old fashioned recipes you might not have thought about in years. I was constantly surprised and delighted by childhood favorites I'd long since forgotten. And should you ever decide to take life in the kitchen too seriously, you'll find many clever bits of advice to remind you otherwise. One of my favorites is, "Life's too short to stuff a cherry tomato." If you had to get by with just one cookbook in your kitchen --I'm shaking at that mere thought of that, cookbook junkie that I am --but hypothetically speaking, you could eat quite well with this as your only guide." -Cheri Sicard Editor, FabulousFoods.com "One of the best frugal cookbooks I have ever read... more than a collection of recipes- it's a guide to getting started on the road to frugality. If you like the Tightwad Gazette Books, you'll love Not Just Beans. " -Kim Tilley Editor, Frugal Moms Newsletter "A must for the cook who desires to have a resource of frugal recipes at her fingertips... clever and helpful tips and techniques and a good dose of humor go along with these "down home" recipes. This is the first cookbook I have read that made me chuckle from cover-to-cover -- starting with the cute picture on the front! -Susan Sands Editor, Home Words Web Zine "50 years of testing and perfecting has got to be good." -Rick Doble Editor, $avvy Discount$ Newsletter "There are recipes in Tawra Kellam's book that will remind you of dinner at Grandma's, like Chicken and Dumplings and Hamburger Gravy on Toast. These comfort food recipes abound throughout the book. Then there are the ones that were new to me like, Parmesan Baked Tomatoes and Maple Glazed Chicken. I was impressed at the compilation of the variety of recipes that were created using only basic inexpensive ingredients." -Syliva Britton Editor, The 21st Century Homekeeper "Not Just Beans is full of tasty recipes I can make tonight, without heading to the supermarket for some exotic ingredient. Thanks for making my life easier by providing tips I can easily implement." -Cheryl Gochnauer Author, "So You Want to Be a Stay-at-Home Mom" and Homebodies e-zine Click Here to see a review from the Fort Collins Coloradoan "We first introduced 'Not Just Beans' in the September/October issue of Frugal Living, along with a few sample recipes included in the book. I've since received my copy and we simply didn't do this cookbook justice. You will love this cookbook. The author, Tawra Kellam, has put together a wonderful collection of frugal recipes that will truly take you back to the basics of cooking." -Laura Williams Editor, Frugal Living newsletter "A lot of cookbooks out there act as if we all went to chef school or something, not this one. It’s a book we can relate to and will probably be the most used cookbook in your kitchen." -Monica Resinger Editor, Creative Home Newsletter "I have to say I have never been so excited over a cookbook... Unless you don't spend any time in the kitchen I would highly suggest the purchase of this book." -Sarah Kennington Editor, The Frugal Life Newsletter Full length reviews and some others not included on this page are available here.
