"Family Dinner" by Laurie David
This book was full of amazing ideas for making dinner more family centered. I really believe that this is something a lot of families are missing out on. Although it is easy right now to eat dinner together I know that it will only get harder as the boys get older and our lives get busier, but I figure if I make it a real priority now, it will truly stick later on. Running through the book were quirky questions to jump start conversation when maybe nobody really wants to talk. My favourite (and I ask you this too) was "If you could change your name, what name would you pick?" I've thought about this and still haven't come up with an answer. The author also gives her list of family dinner rules. I hope to adopt a few of them.
1. No gadgets at the table.
2. Everyone tries everything.
3. Once you sit down, you don't get up until the meal is over.
She also includes lots of awesome recipes. I am going to try her "Speedy Pasta in a Pan" for meatless Monday this week and I have already tried her "Crispy Smashed Potatoes."
Anyways, I loved this book. It was beautiful to look at and delicious to read.
