I have Jenny Jones' Look Good, Feel Great Cookbook. It's actually fun to read as she just chatters on about her recipes as she writes them.
Plus she took every single photograph herself. They're nice pictures. She captions each one with a little information about how long it took her to get just the right shot or where she got the napkin or tablecloth that she used in the photo, etc.
There's a picture of her Four Grain Pancakes (which I have not tried, yet, but I will) and she says that she got the placemat at a T.J. Maxx store in Chicago and the plate at Ace Hardware!
However, I just wanted to let you know about the Soft Spread Butter. It's to cut down on saturated fat without sacrificing the taste of real butter. It's really good. Here's how you do it:
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix the ingredients well - she uses an electric mixer but I just used a whisk. Put in a plastic tub or dish and cover. You do have to keep this in the refrigerator or it will get really soft but it's spreadable cold so not a problem.
Jenny Jones did not take a photo of this but I did. The problem is that in my picture the butter looks white...it's not. It's yellow.
So not only will you be cutting back on saturated fat, you'll also be getting double the butter! Give it a try.

Looks good! (But where did you get that butter dish? It's adorable!)
Boy, we've had that chicken dish for years...probably picked it up at a flea market. I've seen them in antique stores. Not to spendy (as we're known to say here in Minnesota), either, so that's good.
Great tip, and love the crouton tip, too.
