The Food Nanny

I had the opportunity to accompany my mom to an evening featuring this energetic woman. She's a zealot for families spending time together and enjoying healthy, satisfying and not-too-complicated meals. I purchased her book and have enjoyed perusing its pages. I really liked her demonstration of french bread and pizza crust. I made the BBQ chicken pizza last night (easy peasy!) and I'm eager to try the french bread. I wholeheartedly agree that dinnertime can be more than just a meal. It's establishing a ritual or tradition which builds resiliency in children, modeling healthy behaviors and showing that your time with the family is a priority.
