About the author

Pillsbury is a brand name used by Minneapolis-based General Mills and Orrville, Ohio-based J.M. Smucker Company. Historically, the Pillsbury Company, also based in Minneapolis, was a rival company to General Mills and was one of the world's largest producers of grain and other foodstuffs until it was bought out by General Mills in 2001. Antitrust law required General Mills to sell off some of the products. General Mills kept the rights to refrigerated and frozen Pillsbury products, while dry baking products and frosting are now sold by Smucker under license.

I picked this book up at a used book store a few years ago and it has become my go-to cookbook for quick bread and muffin recipes. I've made ninety percent of the quick breads and muffins in it and they've all turned out delicious. I've also made a few of the cookie recipes and they were also very good.

I LOVE baking, but I don't love all the fat and calories I'm putting into my body. So I got this book and it is grrrrreat! It lets me cook yummy things, like cookies, cakes, and muffins while substituting some of the "bad" ingredients for healthier ones. Yippee!
