Readers who have been around here a long time will remember we used to live in the same town as Jessica Fisher from Life as Mom and Good Cheap Eats and her family. We loved getting to know the Fisher family during that year we were both in Kansas City together.
I especially enjoyed hanging out at their house! Not only because I learned so much from Jessica, but because she is an amazing cook. Every time we went to their house, she’d be whipping up some sort of magic in the kitchen. It’s her thing and she does it beautifully.
Me, Silas, and Jessica in 2010 when our family went to visit their family in California.
It was a sad day when their family moved back to California, but we will always be grateful for those many memories we have and for the gift of local friendship and community their family gave to us during a hard and lonely season of our lives. And I will always be thankful for all the recipe ideas, kitchen tips, and life hacks I’ve learned from Jessica.
I’m super excited about Jessica’s new book, Good Cheap Eats: Dinner in 30 Minutes or Less. I know that title almost sounds too good to be true. But it’s not!
Jessica shows you tricks, tips, and delicious recipes that can be made in a matter of minutes. Best of all, her recipes are budget-friendly and many are bursting with nutritious ingredients.
The first time I had fish tacos was when Jessica served them to us at her house. I fell promptly in love. So I was really, really happy when I saw that she included them in this cookbook.
If you are looking for a great cookbook for busy families with simple, quick, and inexpensive recipes in it, check out Good Cheap Eats: Dinner in 30 Minutes or Less.
Since Jessica is reading…I want to chime in to say that I have your Under $10 cookbook and love it. I borrow lots of cookbooks from library and while many are excellent, I rarely find ones worth buying for my home collection. Yours was the exception. The day it went back to the library was the day I ordered it off Amazon!
I got this book last week and I’m super excited about it! I love how you marked it for allergies and included the side dish recipe on the next page!
Thanks so much for your support! Enjoy!
I have her freezer cooking cookbook and I love it!
So great to hear!
I own Jessica’s other cookbooks (which are all amazing!), so I KNEW I wanted this one, too. The day I found out about it, I pre-ordered it. It arrived on its release date and I had fun looking over every single recipe that night. My family has devoured every recipe I have tried! I printed a free freezer cooking plan from her blog, and after a full day of work on Monday, made all 6 meals on the plan to enjoy the rest of this week. The recipes are easy to follow and come out tasting delicious. This cookbook is definitely a keeper! (And I don’t know Jessica in person, nor am I compensated for a positive review in any way. I’m just a mom who thinks Jessica rocks!)
Thank you! You’re very kind. I’m so glad the fam likes the book!
Thank you so much for this recommendation! Going to order it now. Also loving your periscopes in the mornings! Thank you for what you do!
Aw, thanks so much! I’m so glad that you’re enjoying them!
Looks great! I follow you on Pinterest, Jessica. 🙂
Thanks! I appreciate that. 🙂
After you talked about this on Instagram last night, I put it in my shopping cart on Amazon! I’m going to order it when it’s back in stock! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! I just got word from my publisher that it should not be that long, about 2 weeks at the most. I guess we blew their expectations. Thanks!
It’s a good problem to have! 😉
Thanks so much, Crystal! I’ll cook dinner for you anytime! 😉
Amazon is saying this book ships in 1-3 months. Um, that’s a LONG time to wait for a book!
Yes, it is! Amazon ran out of their supply. My publisher has been working all week to get them more. It’s available on Barnes and Noble for a competitive price. Your local bookstore should have it as well. Thanks for your interest. I’m so sorry for the delay!
Amazon says available Sept 27 as of this morning. 🙂
