I have tried a few recipes lately but I have always just gone by the allowed list of foods. There are 5 people in my family (soon to be 6) some of us are vegetarians, some eat meat, one is allergic to dairy, one is allergic to pork, one is allergic to splenda, and not to mention some are just plain picky!! So as you can probably guess there is just no way I could have ever just gone by a single recipe book. I usually have to make a couple meals at every meal or at least make a meal that can be altered in many ways. If you are someone who loves to try recipes though there is nothing wrong with following the recipes for a while. Just don't feel like you HAVE to follow the recipes in the book.
