As if you need more than the Potato-Chard “Lasagna” in Chapter 4???!!! For real: I’m pleased to report that Time for Dinner continues to get some nice ink. (Pixels?) Here is a recent Q&A I did with ivillage, and my co-author Alanna’s write-up in Martha Stewart’s really fun new living-with-kids blog The Family Room and a review from my hero, Corina at Nonchalant Mom. We are also honored to be part of an awesome cookbook round-up from Food in Jars, and (I’m late on this one) Babble excerpted a few good recipes that might give you a taste of what’s to come before you order your very own copy. Happy eating!

7 Tips for Going (Mostly) Vegetarian at the Family Dinner Table
Want your family to head in a more plant-based direction, but not sure where to…

I am going to give a hardy “Make this one” to the potato chard dish. It was one of the first things I made from the book and I was not sure how it would go over. I have some very picky eaters in my family. (read that to mean they like everything but what I make that night). Anyway, everyone loved this! My husband and son #1 did ask what the green stuff was. I think I mumbled something about spinich or something…I was worried the word CHARD would turn them off. For sone #2 I called it salad potatoes. If I add the word salad he will eat it. Anyway, loved by all. Make all the time. Still think the chard is spinich or something. P.S., I also have a little hero worship giong on with Nonchalant Mom.
Your book is on my Xmas list. Can’t wait to get it and try out all the recipes!
You know I cut out all the food sections from my old Cookie magazines and put them in a binder?

Just got my 2nd copy of your book this week. This one to give away at a “my favorite things” themed party. Love it!
Just received your book for my birthday after dropping some no-so-subtle hints, and made this tonight. Simple and lovely. Thank you!
