This was a gift for a single parent of 3 kids that are always on the go.  She LOVES it.  Great for so many things.

I absolutely LOVE this cookbook.  I'm a newlywed of one year, and recently started getting really bored with spaghetti, pizza, and tacos.  So I bought this book and it's totally revolutionized our meals.  I love that there are shopping lists for every week.  I don't even have to think when I go to the grocery store!  And there are meals in there I've never even heard of that turn out fantastic!  My husband loves the food too.  And since there are only two of us, we always have leftovers that I can pack in our lunches.  Only one note about the book--I've found a few things on the shopping lists that are not listed in any of the recipes for the week, so I always double-check before I head off to the store.  And sometimes it doesn't tell you everything you need to save from Sunday.  Like if you make a big pot of rice on Sunday, it sometimes doesn't tell you to save half for Thursday, so you could end up eating all of it.  So I double check that too.  But seriously this book is great.  I love being able to know what I'm going to eat every night and I love that it only takes me about 10 minutes to cook it!  Makes my life much easier!

Finally a fun way to get the kids involved in eating healthy!  This book is great, allowing family members to make their favorites, and then just grabbing in the morning when you are in a hurry.  This grab and go breakfast fits my families needs.  What a time saver in the mornings, and so yummy!  I am so glad I picked up this book, and my family is too!

Even though we have a family of 5, every other weekend it is just the two of us having dinner. And this year we have decided that we were not going to go out to eat nearly as much - so that leaves cooking dinners at home.  In the past, when it was the two of us, meals were either left overs or something frozen, because we were so use to cooking for multiple people.  Now that I've read the Healthy Cookbook for Two I have found a few recipes that are not only easy to make, but they are delicious sounding.
*I received this book in exchange for my Honest opinions.

OK, so I know this is a kids cookbook but what I really LOVE is that the recipes are super family friendly. I'm definitely not a short order cook and I'm not about to make a separate toddler meal for dinner (I admit lunches are sometimes different). This week we are making the beet dip, beet chocolate muffins, and broccoli rice squares for snacks. Kale pene, corn chowder, and spinach frittata for dinner. And don't forget dessert! Chocolate spinach pudding. Yum! "It's not about hiding vegetables- it's about including veggies whenever possible" (pg. xviii preface). Do it. GET THIS BOOK.

This is absolutely perfect! It is small and compact which is perfect for our purposes. It keeps my kids busy and creative.  (photo shows that even our 9 year old is entertained). I really enjoy how something as simple as replacing the microwave with a grow your own veggie tray really coincides with our lifestyle. And the knife block is such a nice touch! Someone else mentioned that the stickers on the oven and refrigerator display healthy foods which is so nice. My 2  year old son doesn't care for strange or loud noises, so I actually took the batteries out of the stove top burner. It has an awesome light and sound that sizzles or bubbles depending on which pan you place on it. Unfortunately, there is no off button or volume control and it was a bit loud for him. I really love how this set is health conscious! I would recommend to everyone, especially those who want to ditch the traditional kitchen set up and who prefer a kitchen set that doesn't take up too much space.

* Please note that the play food you see in my photos does not come with the kitchen set. (Except for the 3 veggie sprouts pictured)

First, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a super-busy homemaker with three hungry kids. I make dinner pretty much every night. I have quite a few cookbooks but I find myself going back to this one again and again. Why? Because all the recipes are healthy, tasty, and most of all QUICK!

Got this for a crazy good deal during a percent-off sale a few months back.  My boys gobble up Mac N' Cheese like they're endorsed by them.  Having the single packets have made quick meals and snacks super easy.  And as a busy stay at home mom, easy is what I strive for.  Because nothing with two toddlers is ever easy.  But thanks to you, meal times are. Thanks Kraft!

I am a busy mom of 3 and received this book as a Christmas present.  I truly have never used a cookbook more than this one.  All of my kiddos love the meals I make.  They are easy...most with 6 ingredients or less.  I love that most of them are fairly healthy.  I would recommend this book to any busy family!  It's a lifesaver!!!

This book has magically transformed our dinner time. A divorced mom of two teenage girls, I've been doing the family dinner for years (as opposed to eating out, eating food that just needs heating), but frankly, the food wasn't that good.  I've made about ten recipes from the Family Dinner now and both my girls have been loving the dinners.  One of my daughters said the other day: "Mom, I only want you to make dinner from the Family Dinner book." There is something amazingly simple about the recipes.

Here's what I've made so far, all receiving two thumbs up:
Speedy Pasta in a Pan
Soy Maple Salmon
Tortilla Amigo Soup
Arroz con Pollo
Morocco Tangine
Enchilada Pie
Chicken Picatta
The smashed roasted potatoes
Divorce Brownies (this has become a new staple: very light and surprisingly easy to make)
Slow Curry (I made it fast in the dutch oven)
Chili

This book is perfect for anyone who wants / needs an EASY no fuss meal.  The directions are simple to follow, even if you're a novice. I love the "family" approach to the book. If you are looking for quick, mostly healthy meals to make quickly, this is THE book for you.  Yummy recipies, plus family stories.  Makes me feel like I know her! I'm not as good at chopping herbs and veggies as Rachael is, so I do find that I need about 40 minutes for her 30 minute meal.

Surprised just how much fun our family had with this Christmas present already! We keep it accessible for quick-use at random opportunities. Very pleased! Perfect for our family of four (including two kids - 10 and 7)

I received a copy free to review and, honestly, I wasn't expecting to particularly like it.  I was curious, because I've seen the hype, mostly on Mommy type blogs, about the Trim Healthy Mama plan, but it seemed kind of strange and complicated.  I can't speak to their actual plan, but I actually really love this cookbook, just as a Mom.  There are many slow cooker recipes, suggestions of how to freeze recipes, and no canned soups, etc. that we avoid anyway!  As a mom to a family of 7, I love that the main recipes mostly serve 6-8, so smaller families can have leftovers also.  They are really accessible, easy recipes my family would eat and enjoy also.  The pages are slick, shiny, and there are photos spread throughout.  Some recipes do call for a specialty type ingredient, but I found that many, especially the main dish types, don't.  They do offer substitutions also.  I will definitely be using the cookbook!

Sarah's new book is a good to have on hand for busy families that want to get "the whole family" involved in eating Paleo.  Sara doesn't pull any punches, she speaks from her family's perspective and from her heart. Here are a few of my favorite things about her new book...The Quick and Simple Meal Ideas (pp. 40-47), The One-Week Meal Plan (pp. 50-52),and the What Sarah Wants You To Have on Hand and Where to find It list (PP.48/49). A few of our favorite family recipes... the Cauliflower Hummus,Best Ever Chicken Wings,Savory Salmon and Cool Peach Salsa, Mexican Beef Skewers, Riced Cauliflower, and the Spicy Sriacha Mayo. We are looking forward to trying several of her Paleo treats, next up is Rocket Fuel. I love that Sarah reminds us of how precious our time with our loved ones is and that including them in the process is part of the joy! Eating Paleo even while living a busy lifestyle is possible and Sarah helps provide those suggestions and how to make it happen!

My family has loved everything that I made out of this cookbook. I am a busy mom of 5, most of the time cooking needs to be uncomplicated. The recipes are easy to follow, don't use many, and rarely special ingredients, if at all. Our favorites so far are the Cream Soup, the Roasted Chicken, and the Pork Chops. They are a huge hit!

This is great for the huge families who are on the go, its quick and easy, it doesn't require much checking on. Just don't forget about the food! This cookbook gave me some great ideas that I had never heard of that I am ready to try. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who likes to cook. I look forward to trying more of these cookbooks by this author.
