Katie Brown's Weekends: Making the Most of Your Two Treasured Days
Author: Katie Brown
Katie Brown believes that no one should waste time or money - according to her, they are two of the most precious things that we have. With a mere two days out of the week to catch up on the things most important to us, we all seek to make the most of our weekends.
KATIE BROWN'S WEEKENDS offers creative advice on how to cook great meals, spend quality time with family and friends, find your green thumb, and make easy and practical crafts. Chapters focus on properly organizing a home, experiencing wonderful holiday traditions, and traveling around the world without leaving home, as well as teaching the art of volunteering and charity.
With many recipes that use five steps or less and fun family projects that can be done within an hour, Katie likes to say that she teaches "domesticity for dummies." There are over 130 recipes and projects and each is accompanied by a full-color photograph that shows the end result.

In her fifth book, home guru Brown (a spunkier, perhaps more accessible Martha Stewart) delivers a powerful prescriptive for families afflicted with the "what-to-do-on-the-weekend" blues. Useful, imaginative ideas for the home enthusiast appear in all six chapters-"Helping Hands," "Neat Freak," "Secret Garden," "Around the World," "Great Outdoors," and "Holiday"-of this smartly styled, beautifully photographed, and enjoyable book. This New York Times syndicated columnist and Lifetime hostess has an engaging writing style as comfortable as an overstuffed sofa. Cleverly interwoven with anecdotes from Brown's idyllic childhood in Michigan, Weekends woos readers: each recipe, project, and idea (more than 100 in all) suits a particular mood and budget. Dig out those old magazines, take-out menus, and business cards and create a welcome package for new neighbors. Help the kids run a lemonade stand and use the proceeds to benefit the less fortunate. This book does what any good lifestyle book should do: instruct and entertain. Recommended for medium and large collections.-Steven G. Fullwood, NYPL Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
