Valerie-
The CD ROM plays on audio (like your car stereo), but comes with a download code for slide that can be downloaded onto your computer.

Chris, I have a question about your “Cheaper By the Baker’s Dozen” CD ROM. I am not much of a “techie”, and I was wondering if it will play on a regular CD player as an audio-only, or will it only play on a computer? Thanks!

HI! I got my cookbook today, and I am so excited! LOL, just when I reading all this gloom and doom, plop, here came the mailman with my cookbook! I know it will bless this family, and I have given away copies of “Love in the House” and I will be sharing recipes with my friends. Thanks Wendy! And all the Jeub family.

Missy- Great question. We hardly ever eat out. Yes, we do have several quick recipes in the cookbook that we make. Also, we mention our “activity night” routine in our Cheaper by the Baker’s Dozen CD ROM.

Thanks so much for your advice. Over here in England for the past few weeks the head lines in all the papers have been “cost of living on the up”, “food bills rising £15 a week”, “families are struggling to live”. I too am not an alarmist but the fact is it is happening. We know that God provides but also that we are told to be good stewards, so thank you so much for your advice. I really believe God has gifted you both to help families to be good stewards. I very much look forward to recieving Love in the Kitchen and really believe this will transform our shopping bill and the way we look at food shopping.
Thanks once again.

I don’t think that the majority of folks have an idea of what it means to cut back, stock up, or just economize. I am by no means perfect in this, and there is always room for improvement. Since my husband and I have decided to pay for everything in cash, we are becoming a lot more creative in areas that needed improvement. If we are craving something,..we just find a way to make it ourselves. It’s nothing new, I just think in the era of fast food, fast lives, we have become used to that way of living. Those thing have their place, but now we use them as a special treat. Actually, I don’t really miss it so much. I have a couple of older books that I read from time to time, to remind me that being frugal is a very wise thing. Even the older Betty Crocker Cookbooks were always reminding the wives to make good use of their resources. It’s not so much a question of what you don’t have, it’s “how can I use every part of this meal?” Believe me, I would be the last one to try and save the broth that had come from boiling meat…but if I can use it, then I should. Reading of how folks made it during WWII for example, is really helpful to today’s need for cutting back. Our family of nine actually eats better now on a tighter budget, then when we were just winging it, and not counting the cost. Having the basics on hand: Rice, Flour, Sugar, Noodles,..and some others,..really is economical. I hope that nobody reads this and thinks I know it all and am perfect….not at all. Just can’t help sharing what I’ve learned, because like I’ve learned from others..maybe it can help. I look forward to being able to order Wendy’s book soon, and to learning all of your family’s best kept secrets!! p.s..sorry this soooo long!! :)

I have recently read your “love in the House Book” and I am hinting for the cookbook for Mothers Day. We need all the help we can get . We will soon be a family of 7. My question would be how do you handle eating out times? Do you just not do it No Questions Asked or is it just a special thing. I was wondering if your cookbook has anything like quick easy stiff we can do instead of eating out. Thanks, Missy in TN
