PALMER/PLETSCH IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE PUBLICATION OF AN INNOVATIVE NEW COOKBOOK

“As a neighbor and friend of Liz Edmunds, The Food Nanny, I can say that she practices what she preaches and cooks! Liz has always had unbounded energy directed daily to her family, attempting to make mealtime—which can be filled with chaos and frenzy—into an enjoyable interlude of fun, conversation, and connection. I endorse Liz and her book because she takes the key ingredients of life—friends and family—and mixes them into a daily tradition of mealtime. These are vital nutrients to keep family and mealtime thriving.”
     ~ Debbi Fields, Founder, Mrs. Fields Cookies, and mother of five daughters

“There is hardly anything more lovingly bonding in a family than mealtimes together with good home-cooked food, good conversation, and good moods. The Food Nanny helps families make these important family times yummy!  I recommend this book for every family — especially those who think they don’t have the time or talent to cook great dishes.”
     ~ Dr. Laura Schlessinger, International Radio Talk Host and author of Stop Whining Start Living.

Turn off the TV! Turn off the computer! Even if there are only two of you home for
dinner, eat together and reap the benefits of a stronger family bond. When families
eat together consistently, everyone wins. Studies show that children who have
regular meals with their families typically:

•  Eat healthier.
•  Are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.
•  Get better grades.
•  Are more likely to discuss serious issues with their parents.

As the Food Nanny, Liz Edmunds helps families with her theme-night solutions
and strategies for successful family dinnertimes:

•  Get past the “Yes, buts…” that are keeping you from cooking.
•  Plan meals the easy way: a template, pantry list, shopping advice.
•  Involve family members in the preparations.
•  Fill your home with the aromas that convey caring, safety, and comfort.
•  Engage your kids in dinner conversations.
•  Have a family homemade pizza night.
