YOU'LL FIND KID- AND BUDGET-FRIENDLY RECIPES
IN THE FOOD NANNY RESCUES DINNER

The key to consistent dinnertime at home is meal planning. The hardest part of planning any meal is figuring out what to have. What is the Food Nanny's plan? Liz Edmunds has devised "theme nights" as a place to start. This does not mean having a party every night. Each night's themes are the starting point for deciding what to have for dinner.

Look for these flavorful and easy recipes, plus over 40 salad and side dish recipes, 18 breads we can't live without, 18 desserts we love, and easy after school snacks.
