Recipes from Time for Dinner

Time for Dinner Cookbook

Whether moms have picky or adventurous eaters and whether they love to cook or just endure it, getting dinner on the table weeknight after weeknight is enough to make a mom throw in the towel. It’s a grind that wore down former Cookie magazine editors, Pilar Guzman, Jenny Rosentrach, and Alanna Stang until they made it their mission to figure out all the ways they could reclaim the family dinner. Time for Dinner is that playbook of tricks, inspiration, plans, and 100 go-to recipes. With 250 photographs, it’s a visual toolkit of a book that gives every mom the ideas and strategies she needs to get a great family meal on the table night after night without losing her mind (or her sense of humor).

No funnily named fillers. No mystery meat. Just chicken and cornflakes and little tykes clamoring for more.
