The Family Dinner Cookbook Giveaway!

I love receiving items for review in the mail, and today my The Family Dinner, By Laurie David arrived. I would like to say thank you to Anna Balasi from Hachette Book Group, for giving me the opportunity to read their product, and for letting me host a contest with 1 book to give away!

The producer of An Inconvenient Truth, Laurie David's new mission is to help America's overwhelmed families sit down to a Family Dinner, and she provides all the reasons, recipes and fun tools to do so.

Laurie David speaks from her own experience confronting the challenges of raising two teenage girls. Today's parents have lots to deal with and technology is making their job harder than ever. Research has proven that everything we worry about as parents--from drugs to alcohol, promiscuity, to obesity, academic achievement and just good old nutrition--can all be improved by the simple act of eating and talking together around the table.

Laurie has written a practical, inspirational, fun (and, of course, green) guide to the most important hour in any parent's day. Chock-full chapters include: Over seventy-five kid approved fantastic recipes; tips on teaching green values; conversation starters; games to play to help even the shyest family member become engaged; ways to express gratitude; the family dinner after divorce (hint: keep eating together) and much more. Filled with moving memories and advice from the country's experts and teachers, this book will get everyone away from electronic screens and back to the dinner table.

  38. I would like to win a copy of The Family Dinner simply to provide more motivation for our family eating together on a daily basis. We do sometimes do this but it seems that it does get skipped at times because we feel too busy that evening to really put a family event together. :( Family meal times are so important!
