No matter how we wish for stress-free days, life just happens. After a full day’s work, Mom and Dad come home exhausted, homework needs to be done, kids may need to be off and running to an evening event, the dog needs to be walked, and everyone is hungry! Take out food is so easy and convenient that we often stop on the way home to pick up dinner so we can get home to our second job – our family and home. However, take out food is expensive and may not provide proper nutrition. Nutritionists recommend we prepare our own meals so we can control the ingredients. Financial advisors even recommend that families can help gain financial stability by eating at home more often. Doctors recommend good food choices at home to keep our weight and that of our children in check.
Statistics show that families who eat together at least once a day reap big benefits. They are more likely to have children who have better communication skills, receive better grades in school, teens with fewer eating disorders who are less likely to engage in promiscuity and drug use.
Local entrepreneur and cookbook author, Betty Lynch, strives to bring the family back to the dinner table. Imagine sitting around the table without the TV on, while talking, sharing, learning, and laughing. Create memories that will last a life-time. Back to the Table is dedicated to help you save money, prepare easy meals, help your family slow down, and spend at least thirty quality minutes together every day. The Back to the Table cookbook series will help you re-discover the joy of implementing these traditions.
Eula DeMasi of BringHomeTheSpa.com, states: “Oh Betty, I LOVE IT!!! I’ve never sat down to “read” a cookbook as if it is a best selling novel before! This is wonderful. I’m on page 46 now. I love the inclusion of your conversations with your editor. This is a TRUE cookbook, not just a binder full of recipes and acknowledgements. Actually, I don’t think the word cookbook fits. This is a cooking guide! This is what a cookbook should aspire to be. You did a wonderful job, Congratulations, again. YOU HAVE A HIT ON YOUR HANDS!”
