Cassie McBride commented on Sep 16 11 at 10:58 amI like family Kitchen on FB! My healthy family meals usually have things snuck in them :-). I have a 2 and 3 year old and getting them to eat veggies is like pulling teeth! I make regular scetti and load veggies in it! I also use their scrambled eggs to load in veggies. I have to do this for my husband as well LOL!

Shannon commented on Sep 18 11 at 12:29 pmI’ve been a FB fan of Family Kitchen for a long time — love it! My fave healthy family dinner is a homemade pizza made with from-scratch whole-wheat dough, sauce made from tomatoes from our CSA farm-share, and with tons of veggies hiding under the cheese! My kids love it. I would love this cookbook, however, because with a 2nd-grader and a kindergartner, I’m always on the lookout for new, nutritious dinner ideas!
Kelly McNulty commented on Sep 18 11 at 1:57 pmMy favorite “Go To Healthy Family Dinner” is a roasted chicken with roasted veggies. It’s just too easy not to do frequently.
