Quick Meal Solutions : More Than 150 New, Easy, Tasty, and Nutritious Recipes for Families on the Go

This book is written by a nutritionist! I opened this book to find that it seemed like it was written by a 1950's housewife. Why would someone who has a degree in nutrition write recipes that tell you to use instant white rice and margarine! The average joe knows that those things are terrible for you. The recipes are about what you would expect a 20 something college kid living in a dorm to give you if he was asked for his best recipes, or a housewife from the tang and wonderbread era.
