I was lucky enough to receive Dinner for Busy Moms in the mail today. What a great book! It is not a cookbook, but a strategy guide full of tips on how to streamline food shopping and how to organize your pantry. It also explains how to get kids involved in the process. Those who know me well will know that I will LOVE reading this book. This is a magazine type read with side bars and tips.
My friend, and author, Jeanne Muchnick states, “It’s not about what you’re serving that matters, it’s that you are sitting together in the first place.” Jeanne is a “normal” mom that admits to having a messy house, a car full of snack wrappers, a huge stack of books and magazines by her bed, and a crazed, multi-tasking life she calls “controlled chaos.” After her daughter told her she liked eating at her aunts house rather than at home, Jeanne decided she needed to be better about the needs of her family, rather than working on her deadlines. Jeanne says, “I am often so busy with work and errands and life in general that dinner became something that fell by the wayside.” We can all relate to that!
Jeanne shares the same vision as TAYGA. Spending time with family is important! Sitting down for meals and catching up on your day should be a priority.
You can find Dinner for Busy Moms on our site. Don’t miss out on this book! Tie on a pretty apron and whip up something fast for your family! Don’t forget to check page 168 to see the sidebar on TAYGA Aprons!
